アメリカとビンラディンの聖戦における中国の役割
China’s Role in Osama bin Laden’s ‘Holy War’ On America

September 19, 2001
Aside from neighboring Pakistan, and a few radical Islamic regimes like Iraq,
the Taliban has few sources of international support. Evidence is now emerging,
however, which suggests that China has been providing assistance as well.
So the question arises: Has China, by supporting the Taliban, aided Osama bin Laden’s
“holy war” on the U.S.?
China has formally condemned the attacks, to be sure. On the evening of September 11, 2001,
following the terrorist attack on the U.S., the President of the People’s Republic of China,
Jiang Zemin, sent a brief message of sympathy to the United States. It claimed that
“The Chinese government has always condemned and opposed all terrorist acts of violence.”
Yet actions speak louder than words. One sign of China’s growing closeness to the Taliban came
last December. The UN Security Council voted 13-0 to place an embargo on arms sales to the Taliban
until they closed bin Laden’s terrorist training camps in their country, and extradited him to stand trial abroad.
Beijing, however, abstained. (“UN to tighten Afghan Sanctions,” Los Angeles Times, 20 Dec. 2000.)
In the months since, Beijing has continued to hold secret negotiations with the Taliban. One result of these
negotiations has been a recently signed contract between China’s Huawei Technologies Co. and the Taliban
which calls for Huawei to build an extensive military communications system throughout Afghanistan
. (“The Taliban’s supply cut off,” Vremya Novostei, 21 Dec. 2000/Agency WPS/Defense and Security, 25 Dec. 2000; “China trades with Taliban,” Intelligence, 15 March 2001.)
And while most members of the international community have spoken out against al Qaeda’s terrorist training schools,
China has remained curiously silent, despite its known concern about Islamic terrorism in its own Western provinces.
Has some sort of private accommodation between Beijing and the Taliban been reached?
China’s arms trade with other rogue governments in the Middle East-Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya-has a long history.
Since the 1980s, Beijing has shipped large quantities of conventional arms, as well as technologies and hardware which
can be used for the production of nuclear and chemical weapons, and ballistic missiles, to the Middle East.
China’s goal is to increase its clout in the Middle East, while diminishing that of the U.S. (“China’s Arm Sales: Motivations and Implications,” Project Air Force,
