【新唐人2012年3月10日讯】美国日前宣布将调派更多军力前往亚太地区，其中包括一艘航空母舰。美国也同时加紧了与亚太国家的军事联系，其中包括澳大利亚、菲律宾和新加坡等。
美国国防部副部长阿士顿•卡特3月8号表示，在未来几年，美国派驻太平洋上的舰艇占海军舰艇总数的比例，将从现在的52%增加到60%，航空母舰也将从5艘增加到6艘，海军和海军陆战队也在增强在亚太地区的部署。
《路透社》分析，美国是为了应对中国日益增强的军力，保持亚太地区的和平稳定。
“简氏防务咨询机构”上个月发表的研究报告指出，中国的国防开支2015年将达到2380亿美元，超过亚太地区所有国家总和。这让所有周边国家感到了不安。
旅美学者程晓农：“在整个亚太地区逐渐形成了一种共识，中国现在逐渐成为亚太很多国家担心的一个威胁。现在很多国家从新考虑他们的国防安全的时候，实际上是以中国为潜在的挑战者。这也是为什么这些国家欢迎美国在亚洲地区增强军力，以保护他们的安全。那么中国实际上也不断的摆出各种姿态表明，中国确实想要扩大它在亚太地区对周边国家的压力。”
程晓农表示，中国在扩张自己国家力量的同时，使得亚太地区的区域安全面临着风险，美国的举动是针对这种风险在承担它一向承担的国际义务。
俄罗斯媒体认为，中国军力的增长正在改变地区力量平衡，但中国真正的军费开支数字外界很难知道。
8号，日本自卫队宣布参加美国与菲律宾下个月在南海举行的“肩并肩”联合军事演习。有分析指出，“肩并肩”军事演习是美军以亚太为中心部署的一部分，以缩小对中国的包围圈。NHK分析说：“看来此举的目地，是牵制加强军备、图谋海洋权益的中共。”
美国“杜克大学”中国研究中心主任刘康教授：“美国与菲律宾这些东南亚国家的军演，一是要从新捡回他在冷战时期构建的军事战略同盟，第二他是要在中美大国博弈之间强化他对这些中国周边小国的关系。他的做法根本上来说是对中国敌视的一种行为。”
刘康认为，中国在全球扩张举动是在最近十年内开始的。从二战到本世纪初，美国一直是亚洲的主导，现在美国要重回亚洲，想确立它在亚洲的领导权，建立军事同盟就是其中一个手段。
美国国会最近的一份报告说，中国的“网路战”将对美国军方产生“真正的威胁”，它的能力已经足够对美国执行任务的军方构成危险。报告预测，在未来与美军发生的潜在冲突中，解放军很可能会袭击美军的交通和后勤网路，然后发动攻击，延缓或破坏美军的作战能力。
不过，中共虽然在军事上开始展现威胁，但它在国内面临的困难可能远比外界想像的要大得多。
全国人大会议公布新一年度的财政报告，其中用于维稳的公共安全开支预算高达7018亿元人民币，比去年同期增加12.3％，甚至比今年增加11.5%的国防预算6702亿元更多，而这显示︰国内严峻的形势更甚于国际。

US send more military power to Asia-Pacific region
The U.S. recently announced that it will deploy more military
power to the Asia-Pacific region, including an aircraft carrier.
The U.S. also stepped up military ties with the Asia-Pacific
countries, including Australia, the Philippines, Singapore etc.
March 8th, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashi Dayton
Carter said that in the next few years,
the proportion of the warships that the United States stations
in the Pacific will increase from the current 52% to 60%.
Aircraft carrier will also increase from 5 to 6. Navy and Marine
Corps will also enhance deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.
Reuters analyzed the purpose of the US action is to respond to
China’s growing military power as well as maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
A report issued by “Jane’s Defense advisory body" last month
pointed out that China’s defense spending will reach $ 238 billion in 2015,
more than the sum of all countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
This makes all the neighboring countries feel uneasy.
Cheng Xiaonong, scholar in US, said:
“Amongst all the Asia-Pacific regions,
a consensus gradually formed that China is now becoming
a threat which makes many Asia-Pacific countries worry.
Many countries are now reconsidering their national defense
and security. In fact, they regard China as a potential challenger.
This is why these countries welcome the U.S. military buildup
in Asia to protect their safety.
China has actually also been showing various attitudes that it is
really increasing pressure on neighboring Asia-Pacific region."
Cheng Xiaonong said that while China expands its strength,
It makes regional security in the Asia-Pacific region uncertain.
The U.S. move is responding to this risk and taking the
international obligations that it has always assumed.
Russian media said that the growth of China’s military power
is changing the regional balance.
But the real figure of China’s military spending budget is
difficult for the outside world to know.
On March 8th, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces announced its
participation in the “shoulder to shoulder" joint military exercises
held by the United States and the Philippines in the
South China Sea next month.
Some analysts pointed out that the “shoulder to shoulder"
military exercise is part of
the U.S. deployment based on the Asia-Pacific as
the center for reducing the encirclement by China.
“NHK Analysis said:" It seems this purpose is to contain Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) which is strengthening arms and attempting to take over maritime rights and interests."
Professor Liu Kang, director of China Study Center at Duke
University, said: “The American military exercise with the
Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries is to revive its
military strategic alliance originally built during the Cold War;
The second purpose is to strengthen the relationship with
China’s neighboring countries
during the game playing of the two big countries, China and America.
Its approach is fundamentally a hostile act to China."
Liu Kang believes that China’s global expansion move
began in the last decade.
From World War II to the beginning of this century,
the U.S. has been dominant in Asia.
Now the United States wants to return to Asia and
establish its leadership in Asia. To establish military alliances is one of the means.
A recent report of the U.S. Congress said China’s “Internet war"
will be a “real threat" to the U.S. military.
Its capacity is sufficient to pose a danger to the U.S. military
tasks. The report predicts that in future potential conflicts with the U.S. military,
the PLA is likely to attack U.S. military transport and logistics
network, and then launch an offensive, delaying or destroying U.S. military’s combat capability.
However, although CCP is starting to show military threats the
difficulties it faces at home may be much worse than imagined.
The National People’s Congress announced a new annual
financial report.
It shows the public safety expenditure budget for maintaining
the stability is up to 701.8 billion yuan, with an increase of 12.3 percent over the same period last year.
It even surpasses the defense budget, which is 670.2 billion
and with an increase of 11.5 percent this year.
This shows that the grim situation at home is even worse
than that in the international environment.
