2月17日至19日，第59届慕尼黑安全会议在德国慕尼黑举行，近100个国家和地区的高级官员及专家学者出席。在乌克兰危机爆发一周年之际，这次以“重塑愿景”为主题的慕尼黑安全会议因俄罗斯代表未受邀请导致缺席而备受关注。会议重点讨论了乌克兰危机，并试图在北约内部尤其是西方国家间，就向乌克兰提供军事支持协调立场。然而，会议未就乌克兰危机相关议题达成广泛共识。
1. fraught 令人忧虑的
The outlook in Asia is no less fraught. Taiwan remains on edge, as it tries to guess China’s next move. Here too, the news from Munich wasn’t reassuring.
亚洲的前景也同样令人担忧。台湾地区仍然处于紧张状态，因为它试图猜测中国大陆的下一步行动。在这一方面，来自慕尼黑的消息也并不令人放心。

2. a unipolar world 单极世界
The Munich Security Conference this year 2023 came as a confirmation of the joint Chinese-Russian rejection of the concept of a unipolar world, in which the United States of America is the only superpower, and with the same logic came the Russian-Chinese endeavor to change the rules of the existing international system and affirm their rejection of the internationally dominant American unilateralism.
2023年的慕尼黑安全会议证实了中俄对美国作为唯一超级大国主导的“单极世界”的反对。在同样的逻辑下，中俄努力改变现有国际体系的规则，并明确指出他们拒绝接受在国际社会占主导地位的美国单边主义。

为了确保俄罗斯不被长期削弱，北京向普京提供了急需的外交支持，同时避免了向俄罗斯提供任何直接的军事援助，因为这将招致西方对其的经贸制裁。
