英国路透社称，波拉克5日陪同马杜罗出庭，他将美军对马杜罗采取的"抓捕"行动称作"军事绑架"，表 示未来将围绕这个核心论点展开大量法律交锋。 这一切入点是将美方的行动定义为非法活动。波拉克还说，马杜罗作为一个主权国家的首脑理应依法享 有免受他国刑事指控的"豁免权"。不过有法律专家认为，牵涉"豁免权"的辩护将遭遇诸多"法律障碍"， 因为美国并不认可委内瑞拉2019年的大选结果，不承认马杜罗为该国领导人。不仅如此，美国法院通常 也不会因"被告人以非法形式被带入美国"而驳回相关诉讼。 本报特约记者 刘皓然 据多家欧美媒体报道，此次为马杜罗辩护的正是"维基解密"创始人阿桑奇的代理律师巴里·波拉克，此 人以经验老到、出奇制胜在业界闻名。 波拉克作为美国知名律师事务所的合伙人，经验丰富、战绩斐然。在他处理过的诸多要案当中，为"维 基解密"创始人阿桑奇代理案件是其职业生涯的"高光时刻"。2024年，波拉克通过与美国司法部的斡旋 成功达成一项认罪协议，将阿桑奇十余项罪名减至一项，且无需在美国服刑，结束了他多年的逃亡生 涯。阿桑奇随后返回澳大利亚。事后，波拉克在一档采访中爆出"金句"以讽刺美国的"长臂管辖"："美 国对全球司法管 ...

这一切入点是将美方的行动定义为非法活动。波拉克还说，马杜罗作为一个主权国家的首脑理应依法享有免受 他国刑事指控的"豁免权"。不过有法律专家认为，牵涉"豁免权"的辩护将遭遇诸多"法律障碍"，因为美国并不认 可委内瑞拉2019年的大选结果，不承认马杜罗为该国领导人。不仅如此，美国法院通常也不会因"被告人以非法 形式被带入美国"而驳回相关诉讼。 波拉克作为美国知名律师事务所的合伙人，经验丰富、战绩斐然。在他处理过的诸多要案当中，为"维基解 密"创始人阿桑奇代理案件是其职业生涯的"高光时刻"。2024年，波拉克通过与美国司法部的斡旋成功达成一项 认罪协议，将阿桑奇十余项罪名减至一项，且无需在美国服刑，结束了他多年的逃亡生涯。阿桑奇随后返回澳 大利亚。事后，波拉克在一档采访中爆出"金句"以讽刺美国的"长臂管辖"："美国对全球司法管辖权的见解非比 寻常。"这句话被不少媒体引用。 一位曾为前巴拿马领导人诺列加辩护的律师对波拉克给予高度评价，称"没人比他更适合接手马杜罗案"。不 过，该律师也担忧波拉克并不具备必要的资源与美国的国家意志对抗。尤为不利的是，美国很可能起用一位落 网的"污点证人"指认马杜罗，这位证人正是委前情报主 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the dual standards in U.S. trade policy towards China and India, highlighting the economic and geopolitical implications of these differences in treatment [1][10]. Trade Dynamics - In 2023, China's exports to the U.S. reached $500 billion, while India's were only $86 billion, indicating a significant disparity that affects the impact of any potential tariffs [3][4]. - Imposing high tariffs on China would lead to immediate price increases in U.S. supermarkets, while similar measures against India would have a more diluted effect, potentially unnoticed by American consumers [3][4]. Financial Relations - China holds $800 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds and plays a crucial role in providing liquidity to the U.S. Federal Reserve, making it a significant player in U.S. financial markets [6]. - In contrast, India's financial assets in the U.S. are relatively limited, reducing the potential for significant market disruptions if sanctions are applied [6]. Supply Chain Considerations - Major U.S. companies like Apple and Tesla rely heavily on Chinese manufacturing, making it risky for the U.S. to impose sanctions on China due to potential supply chain disruptions [6]. - India's manufacturing capabilities are still developing, and it cannot yet replace China in critical supply chains, making it a more expendable partner in U.S. calculations [6]. Military and Strategic Factors - The U.S. military's strategic calculations are influenced by China's advanced military capabilities, which necessitate a cautious approach, while India's military does not pose the same level of concern [7]. - The difference in international influence is evident, as China can leverage its energy imports to affect global prices, while India lacks similar capabilities [7]. Political Implications - The U.S. is facing political pressures, especially with the upcoming 2024 elections, which complicate its ability to take strong actions against China without risking backlash from voters [7][8]. - India's role as a counterbalance to China is becoming increasingly questioned domestically, with rising skepticism about the reliability of U.S. support [8]. Long-term Consequences - The dual standards in U.S. policy may undermine its credibility globally, as countries may seek alternative partnerships if they perceive unfair treatment [8][11]. - The ongoing situation could lead to a shift in global economic alliances, with countries like India exploring more independent strategies, including increased use of alternative currencies for trade [11][13].
