  • China to Expand Use of Lethal Injections for Death Sentences
  • 中國將擴大使用藥物注射執行死刑
  •   A top Chinese judicial official says China is considering expanding the use of lethal injections for death sentences instead of execution by gunshot.
  • 中國司法部門一名主要官員說,中國正在考慮擴大使用藥物注射方式執行死刑,以替代槍決。

  •   A report Thursday in the state-run China Daily newspaper quotes the vice president of the Supreme People's Court, Jiang Xinchang, as saying that lethal injections were more humane and notes that already half of the country's Intermediate People's Courts, which carry most of the executions, use lethal injections to carry out executions.
  • 中國官方報紙中國日報星期四的一篇報導援引中國最高人民法院副院長姜興長的話說,藥物注射方式更加人道,已經有半數的中級人民法院採用藥物注射執行死刑。這些法院執行的死刑占中國全國死刑的大多數。

  •   Jiang said that lethal injections will eventually be used by all intermediate people's courts. He stopped short, however, of giving a date for the change.
  • 姜興長說,所有法院最終都將採用藥物注射死刑方式,但是他沒有提改變死刑執行方式的日期。

  •   Human rights groups frequently criticize China's use of the death penalty and lack of transparency regarding its statistics.
  • 人權組織經常批評中國實施死刑,並且在死刑數據上缺乏透明度。

  • Study Says Bush Policy on Tech Exports to China Threatens National Security
  • 研究稱布希對中國技術出口政策危及國家安全
  •   A Washington-based research group says a new U.S. policy on technology exports to China should be suspended because it threatens national security.
  • 一家設在華盛頓的研究機構說,美國一項有關向中國出口技術的新政策應該暫停,因為這項政策威脅到國家安全。

  •   The group - called the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control - made the claim in a report released Wednesday.
  • 這個名叫「威斯康辛核武控制計劃」的機構在星期三公佈的一份報告中提出了上述觀點。

  •   The report criticizes a change last October to U.S. rules on the export of sensitive technologies to China.
  • 這份報告批評去年 10 月就對中國出口敏感技術的美國政策作出的改變。

  •   The policy makes it easier for Chinese firms to receive such technology if the U.S. government says they are trusted to use it for civilian and not military purposes.
  • 依照這項新政策,如果美國政府說相信這些中國公司把有關技術用於民事而不是軍事目,中國公司將更容易獲得美國的敏感技術。

  •   But the report says two firms benefiting from the policy have ties to the Chinese military, which could use the technology to modernize.
  • 但是報告說,受益於新政策的兩家公司與中國軍方有聯繫,中國軍方可能使用獲得的技術進行現代化更新。

  •   The group also says one of the firms is linked to a company sanctioned by the U.S. State Department for allegedly selling banned weapons to Iran or Syria.
  • 這個機構還說,其中一家公司與一個因涉嫌向伊朗或敘利亞出售禁運武器而受到美國國務院制裁的公司有關聯。

  •   A U.S. official involved in implementing the new measures says the administration's overall policy has been to tighten, not loosen export controls to China.
  • 一名參與執行新政策的美國官員說,布希政府的總體政策一直是收緊、而不是放鬆對中國技術出口管制。
