Sydney court postpones extradition hearing of former US military pilot until May_我的网站

一 |     中新社北京8月26日电 (记者 黄钰钦)8月25日，由中共中央对外联络部和美国亚洲协会共同主办的第三届中美1.5轨对话在北京举行。来自中方有关部门、地方政府、智库、高校以及美国亚洲协会等方面的约40名代表，围绕“建设性战略稳定——新时代中美务实合作”进行交流。                        　　所谓一轨，通常指国家政府之间的正式外交沟通，由现任政府官员代表国家进行谈判和磋商，有明确的官方属性。    SYDNEY -- A Sydney court on Monday postponed an extradition hearing for a former U.S. military pilot accused of illegally training Chinese aviators until May as his lawyers attempt to further build their case.Boston-born Dan Duggan, 55, was scheduled to fight his extradition to the United States at a Nov. 23 hearing in the downtown Downing Center Local Court.But a magistrate decided to use that date to rule on what additional information that the Australian defense department and security agencies should provide defense lawyers.U.S. lawyer Trent Glover told the court the United States was ready to proceed with the extradition, but had agreed with defense lawyers the hearing should take place after November.Duggan’s lawyer, Dennis Miralis, told reporters outside court that the stakes were high for his client, who faces up to 65 years in prison if convicted.“This is existential, which means that every right that Dan has under the Australian legal system on the basis that he’s presumed innocent ... needs to properly and carefully be considered,” Miralis said.Duggan's wife, Saffrine, has said she asked Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to advocate against the extradition when he meets President Joe Biden in Washington this week.But in a news conference on Sunday before departing for the United States, Albanese said Duggan, who became an Australian citizen in 2012, was not on the agenda of his meetings with U.S. officials.“I don’t discuss things that are legal matters on the run, nor should I,” Albanese told reporters.Duggan has been in custody since Oct. 21 last year when he was arrested near his home in Orange, New South Wales.Duggan’s grounds for resisting extradition include his claim that the prosecution is political and that the crime he is accused of does not exist under Australian law. The extradition treaty between the two countries states that a person can only be extradited for an allegation that is recognized by both countries as a crime.Duggan’s lawyers say they expect additional material will demonstrate the overtly political aspects of the extradition request.They claim the former U.S. Marine Corps flying instructor was lured by Australian authorities from China in 2022 so he could be arrested and extradited.Duggan maintains he has done nothing wrong and is an innocent victim of a worsening power struggle between Washington and Beijing.In a 2016 indictment, prosecutors allege Duggan conspired with others to provide training to Chinese military pilots in 2010 and 2012, and possibly at other times, without applying for an appropriate license.Prosecutors say Duggan received about nine payments totaling around 88,000 Australian dollars ($61,000) and international travel from another conspirator for what was sometimes described as “personal development training.”Duggan has said the Chinese pilots he trained while he worked for the Test Flying Academy of South Africa in 2011 and 2012 were civilians, and nothing he taught was classified.。

二 | 二轨则更多是非官方交流，参与者多是智库学者、前政要、企业人士等，不代表政府进行正式谈判，但能够在相对宽松的环境中交换观点，为政策制定提供参考。         　　两者之间的1.5轨，是介于官方正式外交和民间对话之间的沟通，参与者既包括政府部门等方面人士，也包括智库、学界、工商界等人士。         　　“1.5轨最大的特点，是在官方和民间之间搭起一座特殊桥梁。

四 | 早在2015年，中韩双方就举行了第一次1.5轨对话，旨在加强两国政府和二轨对话间的对接。         　　中美1.5轨对话，同样与中美关系需要保持沟通的大背景密切相关。2023年，首届中美1.5轨对话以视频方式举行。2024年，第二届对话在北京举行，讨论议题进一步延伸至经贸、气候变化、卫生、人工智能、人文交流等领域。         　　从三届对话来看，这一机制的功能不断拓展。本届对话共设置增进中美政治互信，拓展中美经贸合作，探索中美人工智能与科技、国际地区事务合作，促进中美医疗合作与人文交流等四个议题。         　　“这说明1.5轨对话正在从‘保持沟通’走向‘寻找合作’。”苏浩说，三届对话最重要的成果，未必是形成多少具体文件，而是逐步形成可以持续运转的沟通平台，让双方不同领域人士保持接触，把现实问题和合作设想带到桌面上讨论。

五 |          　　中美关系正处于重要节点。今年5月中美元首历史性会晤确立了中美建设性战略稳定关系的新定位，为未来3年乃至更长时间的中美关系作出战略指引。         　　“中美关系越是复杂，越需要保持多层次、多领域沟通。”苏浩认为，“1.5轨能够做的，就是把分歧讲清楚，把可以合作的事情找出来，通过持续交流减少误判。”          　　一个稳定的中美关系需要元首外交引领，也需要政府部门间的专业沟通，还需要智库、企业、学界等社会各界保持接触。三届中美1.5轨对话的举行，正是这种多层次的体现，为中美管控分歧、增进理解、寻找合作创造更多可能。(完) 【编辑:曹子健】。
