中新網評:美國監聽醜聞撕開“網路安全衛士”的假面具
中新網北京6月10日電(蔣鯉)日前,丹麥廣播公司曝光了美國國安局利用丹麥的網際網路設施,秘密監聽歐洲盟國領導人一事。這是繼2013年前美國中央情報局僱員斯諾登曝光美國“棱鏡門”計劃以來又一起性質惡劣的監聽事件。
美國動輒以“網路安全”為藉口,打壓其他國家。而此次監聽歐洲盟友被曝光,再次撕開了華盛頓當局的虛偽面具,足以證明美國的網路安全奉行的是徹頭徹尾的霸權主義,是建立在踐踏別國網路安全基礎之上。美國我行我素、不斷挑戰國際社會底線,應該給被監聽的歐洲國家和國際社會一個解釋。
同時,此次監聽醜聞也暴露了美國對歐洲盟友的不信任。美國一直把歐洲視作潛在的威脅,這個超級大國想要的不是真正的盟友,而是想要通過監聽歐洲來輔助自己進行利益決策,這樣的間諜行為勢必會讓美歐之間的盟友關係産生裂痕。
此次事件讓人不禁懷疑美國對歐洲的滲入程度,而美國的“黑手”也一定不僅只是伸向了歐洲。正如俄外交部發言人瑪麗亞 扎哈羅娃所説,美國監聽歐洲領導人,只是“冰山一角”。因此,國際社會也不能容忍這件事不了了之。只有旗幟鮮明地反對和打擊這種行為,才能維護國際網路安全,維護各國的共同利益。(完)
Wiretapping scandal unmasks U.S. 'cybersecurity guard'
By John Lee
(ECNS) --Danish public broadcaster Danmarks Radio reported that the country’s secret services helped American counterparts eavesdrop on European leaders several days ago, another surveillance scandal since former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed massive U.S. surveillance programs in 2013.
The wiretapping scandal disclosed the real face of a country that frequently cracks down on others on the pretext of "cybersecurity." Its so-called cybersecurity is at the cost of others' cyber security. It is cybersecurity hegemony and requires a due explanation.
Meanwhile, this type of snooping proves that the U.S. distrusts its European allies and views them as a potential threat. What it wants is not true allies, but by tapping its allies it can make decisions that serve its own interests. Such a spy move is bound to harm U.S.-EU ties.
It is reasonable to think U.S. surveillance has extended beyond Europe. As Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova put it, the exposed scandal is "simply the tip of the iceberg."
The international community should not allow the scandal to fizzle out. Only by taking a clear-cut stand on this kind of behavior can we maintain international cybersecurity and safeguard the common interests of all countries.
