1982 年,苏联多次表现出有兴趣改善与中国的关系。为两国关系制定新路线的谈判终于在十月开始。虽然在撰写本文时这些谈判的命运仍不确定,但苏联领导人有责任表明他们有能力表现出尼克松共和党人在十年前吸引中国时所表现出的灵活性。中苏会谈考验了苏联对国际共产主义多样性的容忍度以及采取切实步骤实现非军事化的意愿。他们还对评估其他国家的情况、向苏联人民报告情况以及就其重要性向领导人提出建议的内部程序提出了疑问。经过 20 年对中国共产主义政策的负面评估,有什么基础可以在 1982 年找到乐观的前景呢?毛泽东去世六年后,莫斯科的中国观察人士在为向中国领导人示好铺平道路方面发挥了什么作用?本文探讨了苏联 1982 年倡议背后的背景以及中国问题专家的不同观点。
The year 1982 was marked by repeated signs of Soviet interest in improving relations with China. Negotiations to chart a new course in the relationship between these two countries finally began in October. While the fate of these negotiations remained uncertain at the time this article was being written, the onus was largely on the Soviet leaders to show that they were capable of the sort of flexibility that the Nixon Republicans had demonstrated barely a decade earlier in wooing the Chinese. The Sino-Soviet talks provided a test of Soviet tolerance for diversity in international communism and of willingness to take tangible steps towards demilitarization. They also raised questions about the internal process of evaluating conditions in other countries, reporting on them to the Soviet people, and advising leaders on their significance. After 20 years of negative assessments of communist policies in China, what basis could be found for an optimistic outlook in 1982? In the six years after Mao's death what was the role of Moscow's China-watchers in preparing the way for overtures to China's leaders? This article examines the background behind the Soviet initiative of 1982 and the different outlooks found among China specialists.
