【新唐人2012年12月04日讯】12月1号，朝鲜宣称将在最近发射一颗卫星。这引发各国的谴责与忧虑。外界认为，朝鲜发射卫星只是借口，实际是在研制远程导弹，从而能携带核弹头打击其他国家。联合国安理会随即发表声明，对朝鲜不遵守协议、强行发射导弹表示担忧。评论指出，金正恩急于发射导弹，一方面是为了在国内树立个人崇拜，威胁美国、韩国，另一方面也是为了和中共捆得更紧。
据报导，朝鲜宇宙空间技术委员会发言人号称，朝鲜将在12月10号到22号之间发射“光明星3号”2期实用卫星。卫星将通过“银河3号”运载火箭、从朝鲜平安北道的西海卫星发射场发射。
朝鲜这一举动引发各国谴责和担忧。联合国安理会下属北韩制裁委员会主席卡布拉尔表示：“所有理事国一致认为不应强行发射导弹。”并对朝鲜此举表示忧虑。
美国指出，朝鲜所谓的卫星项目实质是在开发远程火箭，从而携带核弹头打击他国。朝鲜发射所谓“卫星”将是严重挑衅举措，威胁地区和平与安全。朝鲜应该改善民生，恪守承诺与国际义务。
今年2月，美国和朝鲜曾经签署协议，朝鲜承诺中止核项目与导弹计划，以换取食品援助。 4月，朝鲜强行发射导弹，虽然发射失败但协议被撕毁。
原大陆史学教授刘因全对《新唐人》表示，朝鲜急于发射导弹，有四个目地。
原大陆史学教授刘因全：“第一，是为了稳定内部，树立金正恩的个人崇拜和个人威信。这是它的第一个目地。第二个目地是为了威胁韩国。第三个目地是想威胁美国。第四个目地是要威胁中国。”
刘因全指出，金正恩执政是基于不被承认的世袭制，但朝鲜因为经济上极度贫困，金正恩只能通过炫耀武力，来试图证明金氏家族独裁统治的成功。如果导弹发射成功，可以威胁韩国让步，要挟美国不再毫无保留的支持韩国。刘因全认为，朝鲜希望与中共捆绑得更紧，以得到中共对于朝鲜极左、世袭、独裁政权的全力支持。
刘因全：“怎样胁迫中国（中共）呢？怎样把中国绑在它的战车上呢？它就想有长城飞弹、核武器，这样对中国也是一个很大的威胁。中国在处理和它的关系中，就不能不有所顾忌。”
朝鲜发布发射卫星消息之后，周边各国立即做出反应。俄罗斯空军总司令指称，俄罗斯部队已做好准备，将跟踪朝鲜卫星。日本防卫大臣森本敏当晚下达命令，准备动用宙斯盾级护卫舰和爱国者导弹拦截系统，来迎击可能失控的朝鲜弹道导弹。
韩国外交部召开紧急会议，遣责朝鲜打着“卫星”的幌子发射远程导弹，对12月19号将举行的韩国总统大选进行干扰。
中共外交部发言人秦刚的说法则模棱两可，他宣称：朝鲜有和平利用外空权利，但这一权利受到安理会有关决议等的限制。
刘因全：“这说明中国（中共）政府是不讲原则的。中国政府本来是应该坚决的反对北韩发射长城飞弹。这对中国政府改善形象，维护中国本国的国家利益，都是有好处的。”
核安全信息交流中心发起人何岸泉指出，中共一直扶持朝鲜，以此来在朝鲜半岛、东亚地区保持影响力。如果朝鲜半岛出现紧张局势，对中共并不利。而朝鲜发射飞弹，是为了要挟美国将它从流氓专制国家中除名。
何岸泉：“它没有能力去打谁，打南朝鲜、或者是打日本，它没有能力。它目地就是闹、折腾。折腾就一个目地，希望美国和它发展正常的国与国之间的关系。”
外界分析，12月17号是前朝鲜独裁者金正日(Kim Jong-il)死亡一周年的祭日，朝鲜选择12月发射火箭非常有像征性。

North Korea’s New “Satellite” Launches
On December 1, North Korea declared
to launch a satellite this month.
This has raised world-wide condemnation and worries.
It is deemed as a cover up for a long-range missile test.
The UN Security Council immediately expressed concerns.
Commentators say the rocket launch will help cement Kim
Jong-un’s leadership and threaten South Korea and the U.S.
Also, N. Korea tries to bind more closely with the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) to get its full political support.
The Korean Committee for Space Technology alleged to
launch a working satellite between Dec.10 and 22.
The satellite will blast off by carrier rocket Unha-3 from
the Sohae Space Center in North Phyongan Province.
The news has sparked international condemnation and fears.
José Filipe Moraes Cabral, head of U.N. Security Council’s
sanctions committee on North Korea, told the media,
“We all agree it would be extremely inadvisable to
proceed with this test."
Washington considers the rocket launch as a cover up
for long-range missile tests with nuclear warheads, designed to strike other countries.
It “would be a highly provocative act that
threatens peace and security in the region," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
“The path to security for North Korea lies in investing
in its people and abiding by its commitments and international obligations."
In February this year, the U.S. and North Korea signed
an agreement.
North Korea promised to freeze nuclear work in exchange
for food aid from the U.S.
In April, North Korea breached this promise
by launching missiles, but failed.
Liu Yinquan, former historian professor in China,
analyzes purposes for North Korea’s launch plan.
Liu Yinquan: “Firstly, it’s to secure Kim Jong-un’s rule,
creating his own cult of personality and personal prestige.
Secondly, it aims to threaten South Korea.
Thirdly, to threaten the U.S.,and the fourth, to threaten China."
Liu Yinquan says that Kim Jong-un took over power
from his father, which lacks legitimacy.
In the impoverished North Korea,
the rocket launch can justify Kim’s dictatorship.
The successful launch will force S. Korea to yield and
threaten the U.S. to withdraw its full support of S. Korea.
Liu Yinquan comments the N. Korean dictator tries to
bundle more closely with the CCP regime, all in order to get its full support.
Liu Yinquan: “How will it threaten the CCP regime?
How will it bundle with China?
Possessing missiles and nuclear weapons would be
an effective approach.
This will help restrain CCP’s action towards N. Korea."
North Korea’s rocket launch news triggered actions
of its neighboring countries.
Russian Aerospace Defense Forces will be ready to
“bring it down” if the rocket goes off track towards Russia.
Japan Defense Minister Satoshi Morimoto has ordered
the deployment of its missile intercept system.
South Korean Foreign Ministry held an emergency meeting.
It accused N. Korea of launching a long-range missile
in the name of “satellite".
It said with provocations, North Korea attempts to influence
S. Korea’s presidential election held on December 19.
CCP Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang remarked
ambiguously.
He said N. Korea has the right to the peaceful use of
outer space, but should abide by UN bans on ballistic missile tests.
Liu Yinquan: “This shows the CCP regime devoid of principle.
It should have firmly opposed N. Korea’s missile launch.
That would help improve the image of the Chinese regime
and safeguard its national interests.”
He Anquan, sponsor of China Nuclear Safety
Information Center comments.
The CCP has long supported N. Korea dictatorship to
maintain influence in the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia.
As tensions on the Korean Peninsula will be bad for the CCP.
He Anquan thinks N. Korea launched a missile aiming to
coerce the U.S. to delist it as an authoritarian state.
He Anquan: “It’s incapable of staging war with
other countries, such as S. Korea or Japan.
By making troubles, it aims to establish normal relations
with the U.S..”
Observers say that it is the first anniversary of
Kim Jong-il’s death on December 17th.
It is very symbolic to choose December
for the rocket launch.
