What is the connection between the seized Iranian cargo ship and China?
本站:原文:
měi guó美国zuì jìn最近zàihǎi shàng海上lán xià拦下yī sōu一艘guàyī lǎng伊朗guó qí国旗dehuò lún货轮tú sī kǎ图斯卡hào

The United States recently intercepted a cargo ship flying the Iranian flag, the "Tuska".

Trump said the ship might be carrying suspicious materials, and he also guessed that these items might be related to China.

The ship has often traveled between China and Iran over the past year, and it recently visited a Chinese port, so it has attracted a lot of attention.

měi guó美国huái yí怀疑chuán shàng船上kě néng可能yǒujūn mín军民liǎng yòng两用wù pǐn物品jiù shì就是píng shí平时kě yǐ可以mín yòng民用zhàn shí战时kě néng可能yòng yú用于jūn shì军事dedōng xī东西bǐ rú比如jīn shǔ金属diàn zi电子líng jiàn零件gōng yè工业shè bèi设备

The United States suspects that the ship may be carrying "dual-use" items, meaning things that can be used for civilian purposes in normal times but may also be used for military purposes in wartime, such as metals, electronic parts, and industrial equipment.

bù guò不过xiàn zài现在háiméi yǒu没有gōng kāi公开zhèng jù证据shuō míng说明chuán shàng船上dào dǐ到底zhuāngleshén me什么méi yǒu没有zhèng jù证据zhèng míng证明huò wù货物yí dìng一定lái zì来自zhōng guó中国gōng sī公司

However, there is still no public evidence showing exactly what was on the ship, and no evidence proving that the cargo definitely came from a Chinese company.

zhèsōuchuánsuǒ shǔ所属deyī lǎng伊朗háng yùn航运gōng sī公司zǎo yǐ早已shòu dào受到měi guó美国zhì cái制裁suǒ yǐ所以měi guó美国duìtè bié特别jǐng tì警惕

The ship and the Iranian shipping company that owns it have long been under U.S. sanctions, so the United States is especially wary of them.

zhōng guó中国fāng miàn方面biǎo shì表示zhèshìyī sōu一艘wài jí外籍jí zhuāng xiāng chuán集装箱船bìngfǒu rèn否认xiàngyī lǎng伊朗yùn sòng运送wǔ qì武器

The Chinese side said it was a foreign container ship and denied sending weapons to Iran.

At present, what the ship was actually carrying and whether it had any direct connection to China remains an unresolved question.
