【新唐人2014年05月30日讯】美国总统欧巴马5月28号在“西点军校”的毕业典礼上发表演讲。他强调,美国的军力和世界领导力无可比拟,必须始终引领世界。同时他还明确提到了中共的军事扩张、和网络攻击,及南中国海上的侵略等。在中、俄刚刚度过经济和军事上的“蜜月”后,美国的态度说明了北京何种国际处境?下面请听学者和时政分析人士的看法。
欧巴马在演讲中说,到2015年,将把美国看作是站在最前沿,来制定一个保护地球的全球框架条约。因为伊拉克和阿富汗战争后,世界版图已被改写,美国已经从欧洲到亚洲,建立起了以美国为枢纽的强大联盟。
在演讲中,欧巴马多次直接提到中共。他强调:中国的经济崛起和军事扩张让邻国忧心忡忡。无人制止的地区性侵略 —— 在乌克兰南部、南中国海、或是世界上任何地区 ,将最终影响到我们的盟国,并且有可能卷入我们的军队。面对网络攻击,我们正致力于制定并执行通行规则,以保障我们的网络和公民的安全。
西方媒体针对欧巴马的演讲,报导说﹕“美国准备好应对中国侵略”。
原北京首都师范大学教授李元华:“美国希望表明它的态度,因为它知道跟中共、共产集权国家打交道的时候,如果不把话说明确了,可能对方以为还有什么机会。像欧巴马这一次,显然就是表明了美国这种坚定的态度,就是维护整个世界和平,不允许中共招惹是非。”
5月以来,中共先后在南海有争议海域设立钻井平台,并撞沉一艘越南渔船,加剧了南海的紧张局势。越方指控中方严重侵犯越南主权、及主权权利与管辖权,并违反1982年联合国海洋法公约等国际法,及违背南海共同行为准则宣言(DOC)等。
美国政府支持越南,并批评中共的挑衅行为。27号,越南国会主席阮生雄在首都河内,会见了来访的美国联邦参议院外交委员会亚太小组主席卡定,双方就越南和美国的关系发展、合作以及南中国海的紧张局势交换了意见。
大陆时政分析人士华颇:“因为中共在东海及南中国海的这一些主张引起美国的担心。美国实行了亚太再平衡的战略,这个也使中共非常的惶恐。中共现在非常的狡猾,它是真心希望美国继续把它的战略重点放在欧洲,亚太再平衡战略戛然而止。”
5月,中国和受到西方国家一致制裁的俄罗斯交往极其热络。双方不仅在能源领域开展巨额交易,而且在海上举行第三次联合军事演习,甚至还签署了《全面战略协作伙伴关系新阶段联合声明》。中共媒体一边倒的吹捧中、俄关系。
华颇:“它(中共)又给俄罗斯巨大的经济援助,其实就是想让蒲亭有底气,和美国硬抗,来减少中国自己所面临的美国的压力。其实它的真心意图就是想把火引向俄罗斯,这样子变相的就帮了中国(共)的忙。”
中共近几十年的外交访问中,大多同时带上百人的商业代表团,对非洲国家更是不顾国内民间反对声音而进行大笔捐赠。舆论讽刺中共所为是“散财外交”。
李元华:“其实中共跟世界各国的交往当中,一直以一种暴发户的姿态,我有钱你要给我让路,来确定自己的统治的合法性。实际上是不被整个国际社会所尊重,和整个正常的社会、普世价值是相违背的,就是它的任何举动已经遭到很多人的反感。”
面对中共的种种伎俩,西方很多国家早已洞若观火。欧巴马这次在“西点军校”的演讲中明确表示:当美国的核心利益需要的时候,人民受到威胁时,生活和盟友的安全处于危险之中时,美国将使用武力。他说“我的底线是:美国必须始终引领这个世界的舞台,如果我们不这样做,没有人会。”

Obama’s Speech at West Point vs. the CCP’s International Situation
U.S. President Barack Obama delivered the commencement speech at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, on May 28. He stressed that the leadership and the military power of America has rarely been stronger than the rest of theworld, and will be true for centuries to come.
He also exclusively mentioned the Chinese Communist regime’s military reach, cyber attacks, and South China Sea disputes.
What international climate is Beijing faced with following the ‘honeymoon’ between Russia and China in regards to economy and military? The following is our experts’ analyses.
Obama said next year he intends to make sure America is out front in constructing a global framework to preserve the planet. After the combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, the landscape has changed. From Europe to Asia, America has become the hub of alliances.
In his speech, Obama repeatedly referred directly to China. He said: “China’s economic rise and military reach worries its neighbors". “Regional aggression that goes unchecked— whether in southern Ukraine or the South China Sea, or anywhere else in the world— will ultimately impact our allies and could draw in our military". “We have a serious problem with cyber-attacks, which is why we’re working to shape and enforce rules of the road to secure our networks and our citizens".
Western media analyzed Obama’s speech as meaning America is ready for China’s aggression.
Li Yuanhua, former Professor of Capital Normal University: “The United States is expressing its attitude clearly with the Communist totalitarian state. Obama is stating the firm attitude of the U.S.’ defending the world peace against the aggression of the CCP."
Since May, the escalated tension in the South China Sea with the drilling rig and the sinking of a Vietnamese fishing boat has led Vietnam to accuse China of serious violations of sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction. It also contravened international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC).
The U.S. also strongly opposed China’s provocative act. At a meeting in Hanoi on May 27, the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Benjamin Cardin and the Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung discussed measures to boost relations between the two countries as well as the tensions in the South China Sea.
Hua Po, China affairs analyst: “The U.S. is concerned with the CCP’s conduct in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The Pacific rebalancing strategy of the U.S. is also challenging the CCP. The cunning CCP is intending to have America focus on Europe and to halt its Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy."
Russia and China have had a very warm exchange in May, including the large trade in energy, the third maritime drill, and a signed Joint Declaration. The Communist Chinese media touted China-Russia relations.
Hua Po: “Its (CCP) huge financial aids to Russia will embolden Putin in the balancing act with America and reduce the U.S.’ pressure on the CCP. The intention is to direct the fire towards Russia, which will be a favor in disguise to the CCP."
The CCP’s decades of diplomatic visits have been accompanied with business delegation composed of hundreds of people. Its massive financial aid to African countries while ignoring domestic opposition also earned the CCP foreign policy’s reputation as ‘money diplomacy’.
Li Yuanhua: “In fact, the CCP’s upstart attitude in its diplomacy has been a way to secure its ruling legitimacy. It lacks respect from the international community and opposes the universal values of a normal society. Its conduct has offended many."
The West is clear of the CCP’s tactics. In his speech at West Point, Obama said, “The United States will use military force, unilaterally if necessary, when our core interests demand it— when our people are threatened, when our livelihoods are at stake, when the security of our allies is in danger". He added, “Here’s my bottom line: America must always lead on the world stage. If we don’t, no one else will."
