【新唐人2014年02月04日讯】近来，不时有报导说，大陆当局已经开始策划在南中国海的一部分地区，设立新的防空识别区。这引来相关各国的担忧。 1月31号，美国国务院对外声明，北京如果设立“南中国海防空识别区”，将被视为单方面的挑衅行为，南海紧张局势将再度升级。下面请看报导。
日本《朝日新闻》中文网2月1号报导，北京在东海设立防空识别区后，已经开始计划在南中国海设立新的防空识别区。新识别区将以西沙群岛为核心，并扩及周遭大部分海域，几乎覆盖整个南海上空。
报导说，识别区草案主要由“空军指挥学院”起草，于去年5月提交军方高层。目前识别区草案已在空军制作完成，北京正在考虑确认识别区的范围以及宣布的时机。
美国纽约城市大学政治学教授夏明:“中国已经公布了东海的防空识别区。那么显然中国（中共）政府一定会制定南中国海防空识别区。因为这两个没有什么区别，没有实质性的区别。”
去年11月23号，北京突然宣布在东海设立防空识别区，并涵盖了中、日争议极大的岛屿——钓鱼岛。
夏明：“中国（中共当局）已经引起了美国、日本、韩国外交上很大的一个反弹。美国继续派飞机在那个地区，根本就不理睬中国所设置的什么防空识别区。那么显然事情没那么简单，中国一定会考虑到在南中国海应当缓行。”
1月31号，美国国务院发言人哈夫在例行记者会上表示，如果北京在南中国海设立新的防空识别区，美国将认为这是单方面的挑衅行为。哈夫警告，这将会令南中国海的紧张局势升级，并让人质疑：北京是否真的致力于以外交手段，处理南中国海主权争端。
美国国防部发言人沃伦也表态说，美国肯定不承认这种单方面的防空识别区。
面对国际压力，2月1号，大陆外交部发言人洪磊对外宣称，“南海防空识别区”问题，是日本右翼势力在所谓炒作、谣言惑众。
原纽约州立大学教授谢选骏：“那么中国（中共）为什么要公开否认呢？有两个可能性：一个就是中国没有这个意图，还有一个就是说，它实际上有这个意图和计划，但是在美国的警告之下，它就收回了这个计划。”
在大陆网络上，北京要设立南海防空识别区的消息也引来极大关注。“新浪”等大陆门户网站都进行了相关报导。很多网民热衷转发有关消息，并就此展开激烈讨论，鼓动设立防空识别区的网民也大有人在。
夏明：“网络上面的那些意见领袖在过去的半年多遭到强力的打压。所以中国的民间舆论，恐怕也形成了一种心态。就说好，你狠，那你就狠吧。那你就去跟美国狠、跟日本去狠吧。所以从某种程度上来说，他们故意在那点火。”
另据大陆媒体报导，大年初一（1月31号），大陆两架苏-30战斗机紧急升空，在东海防空识别区应对外国军机。但通篇报导没有提供任何外国飞机的具体信息，而是堆砌了大量的形容词、修饰用语。
外界还注意到，去年（2013年）的正月初一，同样有军报发表文章，声称有外国飞机进入东海上空，大陆两架新型战机紧急升空。而且两篇文章结构和遣词造句基本相同，尤其是结尾一段，除了把“蛇年”改成“马年”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.
