据《新科家,杂志近期报道,近10年来世界各国的大规模削减军事预算已使裁军达到二战以来的一个空前的创记录水平,虽然目前还有一部分国家正在逆流而上,迅速扩展其军备。 据德国思想库——波恩国际转换中心(BICC)——最近发表的一篇报告,从1985年以来全世界的军事预算、武器与人员已削减了20％以上。在所调查的151个国家中有82个国家裁减了武装力量,60个国家扩大了军事力量,9个国家大体上保持原有水平。 马来西亚、泰国和印度尼西亚等东南亚国家随着其经济的日益发展已扩大了它们的军事力量。南朝鲜扩军17％。“这的确是一个与总潮流相背离的地区”,该报告的总负责人米歇尔·波泽斯克说。 报告对美国的情况也表示关切。虽然美国作出的裁军许诺比大多数国家都高,但它目前的军事研究开发还维持在一个相当高的水平。 According to recent reports by the new division and the magazine, the massive military budget cuts in various countries in the world over the past 10 years have enabled disarmament to reach an all-time record level since World War II, although some countries are now countercurrently expanding their armaments rapidly. According to a recent report published by the German think-tank-Bonn International Conversion Center (BICC), the military budget, weapons and personnel of the world have been reduced by more than 20% since 1985. Of the 151 countries surveyed, 82 have reduced their armed forces, 60 have expanded their military presence and 9 have largely remained at their former level. Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia have expanded their military capabilities as their economy continues to grow. South Korea expanded 17%. “This is indeed a region that runs counter to the general trend,” said Michel Bezescu, the head of the report. The report also expressed concern about the situation in the United States. Although the United States has made more disarmament promises than most countries, its current military research and development has remained at a fairly high level.
