China has chosen a high-risk path – ignoring human rights and violating UN sanctions – to secure the energy and other resources needed to sustain its economy’s rapid growth. It is a choice that neither befits one of the permanent members of the Security Council, nor demonstrates China’s readiness to be a responsible stakeholder in the international community.
中国选择了一条高风险的道路——将人权和联合国制裁置诸脑后——以此来确保本国工业迅速增长所需的能源以及其他资源供应。这不是一个跟安理会常任理事国地位相称的选择，也无法体现中国作为国际社会中负责任成员的角色。
