A Chinese warship confronted an Indian navy vessel shortly after it left
Vietnamese waters in late July in the first such reported encounter between
the two countries’ navies in the South China Sea.
The unidentified Chinese warship demanded that India’s INS Airavat, an
amphibious assault vessel, identify itself and explain its presence in
international waters shortly after it completed a scheduled port call in
Vietnam, five people familiar with the incident told the Financial Times.
This latest example of China’s naval assertiveness has irked defence
officials in India and Vietnam. China claims the South China Sea in its
entirety, rejecting partial claims by Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, the
Philippines and Taiwan over the resource-rich region.
“Any navy in the world has full freedom to transit through these waters or
high seas,” said one Indian official familiar with the encounter. “For any
country to proclaim ownership or question the right to passage by any other
nation is unacceptable.”
Vietnam’s foreign ministry acknowledged that the INS Airavat visited the
country from July 19-22, but said it had no information about the incident.
The Chinese defence and foreign ministries declined comment, as did the
Indian government.
China’s projection of maritime power, especially into the Indian Ocean, has
raised national security concerns in New Delhi, which has raised the
incident with Beijing.
Hanoi is also upset by what it believes to be a deliberate provocation by
Beijing, according to foreign diplomats, who said the implication of the
naval challenge was that China believes it is entitled to police the South
China Sea.
China and Vietnam have been trying to mend fences ever since Hanoi claimed
in May that Chinese patrol boats had sabotaged Vietnamese oil exploration
vessels. On Monday Vietnam’s deputy defence minister, Lieutenant General
Nguyen Chi Vinh, concluded a high-profile visit to Beijing, where he met
General Liang Guanglie, China’s defence minister. Both sides agreed to
increase military co-operation and set up a military hotline.
An unprecedented series of anti-China protests broke out in Hanoi in June,
with the clear acquiescence of Vietnam’s omnipresent security officials.
The government only recently cracked down on the demonstrations.
“Vietnam has to find a delicate balance in raising its concerns over
territorial issues while not pushing China too far,” said one Asian
diplomat.
Rising tensions have also attracted the attention of Washington. Hillary
Clinton, US secretary of state, angered Beijing last year by insisting that
the South China Sea was of strategic importance to the US and offering to
act as a mediator. | s**********d 发帖数: 36899 | | s****r 发帖数: 31686 | 3 美军说, 去香港操逼休息
