根据文件内容,这是一篇关于马尔代夫总统大选的报道。主要内容包括- 1. 亲中候选人莫哈默德·穆伊兹当选马尔代夫总统,这将再次改变马尔代夫与传统伙伴印度的关系。 2. 穆伊兹领导的党派上次执政时,吸收了大量中国贷款,这对印度形成威胁。 3. 现任总统为了改善与印度的关系,试图扭转外交立场。 4. 文章倾向于认为中国利用债务外交控制马尔代夫,且言语中透露出一定的偏见。 评论- 1. 文章过多强调马尔代夫借贷于中国可能对印度形成威胁,但未提印度是否也可提供类似贷款。这反映出文章立场的偏颇。 2. 马尔代夫主权独立,有权选择最符合国家利益的外交方针,不应将其简单归类为中国的傀儡。 3. 债务问题应由马尔代夫政府据实情况谨慎处理,不宜外界过多揣测。中国也应尊重马尔代夫的自主选择。 4. 马印关系可能存在竞争,但不应将其简单化为零和游戏。中印都应保持克制与理性,不能让地区国家受牵连。 5. 媒体报道应关注马尔代夫民众诉求与福祉,避免将其当作地缘博弈的棋子。应秉持客观立场,不散布偏见。

Pro-China candidate Mohamed Muizzu wins Maldives presidency, upending relationship with India
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/01/pro-china-candidate-mohamed-muizzu-wins-maldives-presidency-upending-relationship-with-indiaPro-China candidate Mohamed Muizzu won Saturday’s presidential election in the Maldives, a result set to once again upend the archipelago’s relationship with traditional partner India.
Muizzu helms a party that presided over an influx of Chinese loans when it last held power in the atoll nation, better known for its luxury beach resorts and celebrity tourists.
He won over 54% of the vote in the run-off contest, prompting incumbent Ibrahim Mohamed Solih to concede defeat shortly before midnight.
“Congratulations to president-elect Muizzu,” Solih wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I also congratulate the people who have shown a peaceful and democratic process.”
Muizzu made a brief appearance outside his party’s campaign headquarters to urge supporters not to celebrate until Sunday morning, when campaign restrictions officially come to an end.
Solih will serve as caretaker president until his successor is inaugurated on 17 November.
The result upends Solih’s efforts to revert the country’s diplomatic posture back towards New Delhi since taking office five years ago.
Muizzu played a pivotal role in an earlier government’s development program, bankrolled in part by financial largesse from China’s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative.
He told a meeting with Chinese Communist party officials last year that his party’s return to office would “script a further chapter of strong ties between our two countries”.
The Maldives sits in a strategically vital position in the middle of the Indian Ocean, astride one of the world’s busiest east-west shipping lanes.
Muizzu’s mentor, former president Abdulla Yameen, borrowed heavily from China for construction projects and spurned India.
Solih was elected in 2018 on the back of discontent with Yameen’s increasingly autocratic rule, accusing him of pushing the country into a Chinese debt trap.
Yameen’s turn towards Beijing had also alarmed New Delhi, which shares concerns with the United States and its allies about China’s growing assertiveness in the Indian Ocean.
Muizzu has vowed to free Yameen, currently serving an 11-year sentence for corruption on the same prison island where he had jailed many of his political opponents during his tenure.
In his brief appearance on Saturday, Muizzu urged the outgoing president to use his executive power and transfer Yameen to house arrest.
Turnout in Saturday’s poll was 85%, slightly higher than the first-round vote held earlier this month. Watchdog group Transparency Maldives said there had been some incidents of “electoral violence”, without specifying further details.
Officials said one voter broke open a plastic ballot box, but the ballots were saved and there was no interruption to the count. Police reported arresting 14 people, mostly for taking photographs of their marked ballot papers and sharing them on social media.
