【新唐人2014年02月04日訊】近來，不時有報導說，大陸當局已經開始策劃在南中國海的一部分地區，設立新的防空識別區。這引來相關各國的擔憂。 1月31號，美國國務院對外聲明，北京如果設立「南中國海防空識別區」，將被視為單方面的挑釁行為，南海緊張局勢將再度升級。下面請看報導。

日本《朝日新聞》中文網2月1號報導，北京在東海設立防空識別區後，已經開始計劃在南中國海設立新的防空識別區。新識別區將以西沙群島為核心，並擴及周遭大部分海域，幾乎覆蓋整個南海上空。

報導說，識別區草案主要由「空軍指揮學院」起草，於去年5月提交軍方高層。目前識別區草案已在空軍製作完成，北京正在考慮確認識別區的範圍以及宣佈的時機。

美國紐約城市大學政治學教授夏明:「中國已經公布了東海的防空識別區。那麼顯然中國（中共）政府一定會制定南中國海防空識別區。因為這兩個沒有甚麼區別，沒有實質性的區別。」

去年11月23號，北京突然宣佈在東海設立防空識別區，並涵蓋了中、日爭議極大的島嶼——釣魚島。

夏明：「中國（中共當局）已經引起了美國、日本、韓國外交上很大的一個反彈。美國繼續派飛機在那個地區，根本就不理睬中國所設置的甚麼防空識別區。那麼顯然事情沒那麼簡單，中國一定會考慮到在南中國海應當緩行。」

1月31號，美國國務院發言人哈夫在例行記者會上表示，如果北京在南中國海設立新的防空識別區，美國將認為這是單方面的挑釁行為。哈夫警告，這將會令南中國海的緊張局勢升級，並讓人質疑：北京是否真的致力於以外交手段，處理南中國海主權爭端。

美國國防部發言人沃倫也表態說，美國肯定不承認這種單方面的防空識別區。

面對國際壓力，2月1號，大陸外交部發言人洪磊對外宣稱，「南海防空識別區」問題，是日本右翼勢力在所謂炒作、謠言惑眾。

原紐約州立大學教授謝選駿：「那麼中國（中共）為甚麼要公開否認呢？有兩個可能性：一個就是中國沒有這個意圖，還有一個就是說，它實際上有這個意圖和計劃，但是在美國的警告之下，它就收回了這個計劃。」

在大陸網絡上，北京要設立南海防空識別區的消息也引來極大關注。「新浪」等大陸門戶網站都進行了相關報導。很多網民熱衷轉發有關消息，並就此展開激烈討論，鼓動設立防空識別區的網民也大有人在。

夏明：「網絡上面的那些意見領袖在過去的半年多遭到強力的打壓。所以中國的民間輿論，恐怕也形成了一種心態。就說好，你狠，那你就狠吧。那你就去跟美國狠、跟日本去狠吧。所以從某種程度上來說，他們故意在那點火。」

另據大陸媒體報導，大年初一（1月31號），大陸兩架蘇-30戰鬥機緊急升空，在東海防空識別區應對外國軍機。但通篇報導沒有提供任何外國飛機的具體信息，而是堆砌了大量的形容詞、修飾用語。

外界還注意到，去年（2013年）的正月初一，同樣有軍報發表文章，聲稱有外國飛機進入東海上空，大陸兩架新型戰機緊急升空。而且兩篇文章結構和遣詞造句基本相同，尤其是結尾一段，除了把「蛇年」改成「馬年」外，其它一字不差。

Washington Warns Beijing,Do Not Set Up Another

Air Defense Identification Area(ADIA) in South China Sea

Recently, according to some news reports, mainland authorities

have plotted to establish a new ADIA in

part of the South China Sea.

This causes some concerns for relevant countries.

On Jan. 31, U.S. Dept. of State issued a statement saying,

if Beijing sets up another “ADIA in the South China Sea",

this will be regarded as a unilateral provocation.

The already tense situation in South China Sea,

is escalating yet again. Let’s watch the program.

On Feb. 1, Japan-based Asahi Shimbun’s Chinese website,

reported Beijing Authorities are planning to set up

another ADIA in South China Sea.

The new ADIA will be centered around the Xisha Islands,

expand to most surrounding sea areas,

and almost cover the entire skies above the South China Sea.

According to the report, the new ADIA draft was produced

by Air Force Command College and

submitted to the top military level last May.

At present, ADIA draft has been delivered to

Air Force internally only.

Beijing Authorities are considering the scope of the new ADIA

and the right time to declare it.

Xia Ming, political professor from City College of New York says:

“China has published ADIA in East China Sea.

So apparently Chinese Government (CCP) must develop

an ADIA in the South China Sea too.

Because the two ADIAs have

no significant or substantial difference."

On Nov. 23 of last year, Beijing Authorities unexpectedly

declared setting up ADIA in East China Sea,

which covers the most disputable Diaoyu Island

between China and Japan.

Xia Ming: “Chinese authorities have triggered

a large diplomatic bounce effect between USA,

Japan & South Korea.

USA continues to dispatch planes to the ADIA

without much care to the so-called ADIA’s requirements.

So obviously, this matter is not that simple.

So China really should consider delaying the implementation

of any ADIA in the South China Sea."

On Jan. 31, the U.S. Department of State Spokesman Harf,

said in a routine press conference, that if Beijing

establishes a new ADIA in South China Sea,

America will regard this as a unilateral provocation act.

Harf warns, “This will escalate the tense situation

in South China Sea and it is questionable:

As to whether Beijing really engages in a diplomatic way

to handle the relevant sovereign dispute of South China Sea".

U.S. Department of Defense spokesperson Steve Warren says,

“America will of course not recognize such a unilateral ADIA."

Confronting the international pressure, on Feb. 1,

Mainland China Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei says,

“This issue of ADIA over South China Sea", is a rumor

to confuse people,

hyped up by Japanese rightist faction forces."

Former Professor of New York State University Xie Xuanjun:

“So why did China ( CCP) openly deny it?

There are two possibilities: one is CCP hasn’t this purpose,

and another is CCP has the intention and plan,

but decided to cancel it after America sent out their warning."

On the internet of Mainland China, news that Beijing is going

to establish an ADIA in South China Sea,

is also hot news at present.

Sina and other Mainland gateway websites also reported this news.

Many netizens are keen to spread the concerned news,

it is a hot topic.

Xia Ming: “The Internet Opinion Leaders, have been

seriously oppressed during this past half a year.

China’s non-governmental opinions might develop an attitude:

if you want to show your strength,

you have to show your strength by confronting USA and Japan.

So to some extent,

they are on purpose adding fuel to this event."

According to Mainland media’s report,

on the first day of this Chinese lunar new year (Jan 31),

two Sukhoi Su-30 planes, urgently flew out to intercept

foreign military airplanes in East China Sea ADIA.

But it is stacked up by a lot of adjective and modified words,

without any specific information of any foreign planes.

It is also noted, that on the first day of last Chinese lunar year,

a similar article was published in a military newspaper,

which stated two foreign airplanes had entered East China Sea,

correspondingly two new model airplanes

from Mainland China urgently flew out.

However, these two articles have the same structure and wording style.

Especially in the last paragraph there is no change,

except replacing the words ,Year of the Snake,

with Year of the Horse.
