中国海军战略、美国、东盟与南海

南海中国已成为美国和中国对抗的焦点，这使得它在今天成为一个如此关键的问题。中国的海军战略要求海军为自己设定的各种任务控制南中国海。这证明中国的强硬行为是正当的，这些行为旨在迫使东盟声索国--尤其是越南和菲律宾--承认中国的主权。美国不能接受中国对南中国海中国的控制，它对中国的强硬态度做出了反应，重新部署了它在亚太地区的军事力量，并加强了与东盟声索国的安全联系。东盟本身在这场竞争中被边缘化，并努力保持其相关性，它为解决南中国海中国争端而提出的建议，如行为守则，已经失去了重要性。与其讨论问题的解决办法，不如通过谈判达成一项防止海上事件的协定或减少冲突可能性的类似措施。
The South China Sea has become a focal point for US-China rivalry which makes it such a critical issue today. China’s naval strategy demands control over the South China Sea for the various missions the navy has set itself. It justifies China’s assertive actions that have been intended to press the ASEAN claimants, Vietnam and the Philippines in particular, to recognise Chinese sovereignty. The United States cannot accept Chinese control over the South China Sea, it has reacted to China’s assertiveness by repositioning its forces in the Asia Pacific and strengthening security ties with the ASEAN claimants. ASEAN itself becomes sidelined in this rivalry and struggles to maintain its relevance, the proposals it has promoted to resolve the South China Sea dispute such as the code of conduct lose importance. Rather than discussing a resolution of the issue it would be more realistic to negotiate an agreement preventing incidents at sea or similar measure which would reduce the likelihood of conflict.
