安邦發表公開信稱將起訴財新傳媒和胡舒立
China’s Anbang Insurance Group said it will sue respected investigative news magazine Caixin, as well as its editor Hu Shuli, for what it has called “slanderous” allegations about its finances and chairman.
中國安邦保險集團(Anbang Insurance Group)表示，針對調查性新聞雜誌《財新》(Caixin)有關安邦財務及安邦董事長的所謂誹謗性指控，安邦將起訴《財新》及其主編胡舒立。In an open letter addressed to Ms Hu, published on Wednesday morning on Anbang Group’s official site and dated May 1, the company’s legal department said that Anbang has “decided to sue you [Ms Hu] and Caixin media”.
週三早上，安邦集團官方網站上發佈了一封日期爲5月1日、寫給胡舒立的公開信。在這封公開信中，該公司法律部表示安邦已“已決定起訴你（胡舒立）和財新傳媒”。The letter said Anbang will also file suit in Canada against Guo Tingbing, author of a recent Caixin cover story that made claims about financial irregularities at the insurer. It concludes:
這封公開信表示，安邦還將在加拿大提交針對郭婷冰的起訴。郭婷冰是《財新》近期一篇封面報道的作者，報道中多處提及這家保險集團的財務違規行爲。安邦聲稱：“我們堅信，在依法治國的今天，不會允許任何一家爲利益集團濫用話語權的媒體恣意妄爲；我們也堅信，法律會保障合法經營企業的生存權利！”
We firmly hold that today in a country ruled according to the law, it is impermissible for any media company to abuse the right to speech to act recklessly for the sake of an interest group; we also firmly hold the law will safeguard the right to exist of any enterprise engaged in lawful operations!
公開信再次提到了該公司週末威脅要起訴《財新》時提出的有關誹謗性文字的指控。2015年，《財新》曾報道稱，娶了中國前重要領導人鄧小平孫女的安邦董事長吳小暉已經離婚。
The open letter repeats accusations of libel levied by the company when it first threatened at the weekend to sue the magazine, which in 2015 also reported that Anbang chairman Wu Xiaohui, who married the granddaughter of former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, was divorced.
作爲對安邦早先聲明的迴應，財新傳媒(Caixin Media)表示這家民營保險公司的指控是“罔顧事實的構陷之舉”，並表示“對安邦聲明之誣衊行爲，我司予以強烈譴責，並保留法律追訴的權利。”In a response to Anbang’s earlier statement, Caixin Media said the privately-owned insurer’s allegations were “completely fabricated” and that it “strongly condemns Anbang’s defamatory statements, and reserves the right to bring legal actions moving forward.”
安邦於2014年因其對紐約華爾道夫酒店(Waldorf Astoria hotel)的收購而贏得了國際知名度。那次收購啓動了安邦一輪收購狂潮。去年，安邦未能完成對美國保險公司信保人壽(Fidelity & Guaranty Life)和酒店集團喜達屋(Starwood)的收購，這輪收購潮陷入停頓。Anbang gained international prominence in 2014 with its purchase of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, kicking off an acquisition spree that has ground to a halt in the past year as it failed to complete takeover bids for US insurer Fidelity & Guaranty Life and hotels group Starwood.
更近一些時候，吳小暉曾在去年與美國總統唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)的女婿兼顧問賈裏德?庫什納(Jared Kushner)舉行磋商，討論一宗可能的房地產交易，不過該交易最終未能落實。
