Quote:

哈萨克斯坦的中国问题专家 "卡乌科诺夫说，吉尔吉斯斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦和塔吉克斯坦希望水资源问题能提到上合组织的日程上讨论。两个主要成员中国和俄罗斯不感兴趣。

"但中俄之间也缺乏互信。俄罗斯对中国利用上合组织获取中亚能源，俄罗斯在中亚的经济利益受到中国挤压感到担心。在安全领域，俄罗斯多年前另起炉灶，排除中国组建了独联体集体安全防务条约组织，这个组织包括了除了中国之外的所有上合组织成员。

Note:
(a) 独联体集体安全防务条约组织 Collective Security Treaty Organisation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_Security_Treaty_Organisation
(CSTO; founded in 2002; Type Military alliance; Headquarters Moscow; members Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan)
(c) 突厥语系 Turkic languages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_languages

* Turkic people
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_peoples
(According to Book of Zhou 周書 [record of 北周, in 南北朝], the original meaning of "Turk" is "helmet", and that they may have taken this name because of the shape of the Altai Mountains. According to Mahmud of Kashgar, an 11th century Turkic scholar, and various other traditional Islamic scholars and historians, the name "Turk" stems from Tur, one of the sons of Japheth)

突厥
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E7%AA%81%E5%8E%A5
(據《周書·異域傳》記載，突厥「居金山（即阿爾泰山）之陽……金山形似兜鍪，其俗謂兜鍪為「突厥」，遂因以為號焉。」戰盔一詞蒙古語дуулга，土耳其語tulga，接近Türk，或許可以印證這種說法)

Quote:

"By summer 2001, they [nations] all faced a common threat: the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. This helped cement their relations and led to the SCO's formation. Many years prior to that, in 1967, Southeast Asian nations created ASEAN to ward off the Communist threat coming from China and its 'cultural revolution.'

"But if that [Iran's admission to SCO] happens, it would also be logical to admit India and Pakistan, although China is against granting India membership. Otherwise Afghanistan risks becoming caught up in a tug-of-war between at least two regional powers.

My comment: I wonder what "two regional powers" may be. It can not be India(which is not a member of SCO. That leaves China--and Russia.

Afghanistan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan
(It shares borders with Pakistan in the East, Iran in the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, and China in the far east)

(d) Shanghai Cooperation Organisation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation
(founded in 2001 in Shanghai; six founding members: China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan; Except for Uzbekistan, the other countries had been members of the Shanghai Five, founded in 1996)

Thus the above VOA report is correct on its face in saying, "这个组织 [CSTO] 包括了除了中国之外的所有上合组织成员." But CSTO has member states (Armenia and Belarus) that are not SCO.

在美国华盛顿的独立军事评论员林长盛认为: "'但是中美之间双方的军事力量不同，所以他们对军事透明度，对各方的利益也不一样。'  林长盛说，美国拥有世界最强的军事力量，可以通过透明进行威摄，但是相比之下，中国的军力较弱，如果把自己“透明”了，会暴露出自己的弱点，造成被动的局面，在战略上对中国不利。因此从战略地位上讲，中国不愿意在军事上透明。他说，从这个层面上讲，两国军事交流并不会大幅度地提高中国军事的透明度。

"军事评论员林长盛说，中国军力的展示，对世界头号军事大国来说是一种可能的潜在挑战，如果中国愿意与美国为盟，不分庭抗礼，两国的军事关系才能有更大的发展。

My comment: Listen up. But of course Beijing will reject it, for it does not want to be a lap dog of United States--though US allies (such as Taiwan, Japan, Canada and UK) do not deem themselves lap dogs.
