冷战初期美国的南中国海政策及其影响

U.S. Policy on the South China Sea and Its Impact in the Early Cold War

冷战初期,尽管美苏两大阵营主要角逐的地区在中东与东欧一带,但美国从来没有把虎视的目光从南中国海移开,早已纳入其海权影响的范畴。美国对中国的遏制战略就不可避免地要与南海问题联系在一起,这是其形成南中国海主权争端的立场、政策的起点和基础。美国对南中国海战略地位的认知,侵扰中国南海疆域的行为,以及对南海诸岛归属问题的"模糊"立场,不能不对南海局势的发展产生深远的影响。

In the early Cold War, The South China Sea became one of the prominent places where two camp confronted, also one of the key regions where U. S. contained PRC and U. S. S. R.. U.S. strategy of containment is inevitably linked with the South China Sea issue, It is the starting point and foundation that U. S. formed its position and policy upon the South China Sea sovereignty dispute. U.S. awareness of its stra- tegic position in the South China Sea, its harassment of South China Sea territory of PRC, and the ＂ambiguous＂ position on the ownership of the South China Sea islands, can not but have a profound impact on the development of situation in the South China Sea.
