新的“不沉航母”?——美越战略互动对中国的遏制与威胁

The New "Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier" ?——Containment of and Threat to China due to the Vietnam-US Strategic Interaction

2014年5月起,中越因石油平台钻探问题引发海上对峙,两国关系急转直下。期间,美国政界和军方的代表团轮番到访越南,为其撑腰打气,导致越南有恃无恐,又加剧了局势的紧张。这意味着越南与美国之间频繁的战略互动终于完全公开化了。自从美国于2009年高调宣布重返亚太以来,越南明显加强了与美国的战略互动,投其所好,积极响应,配合美国的"亚太再平衡"战略,以遏制中国在南海问题上的主权立场与主张;而美国则将越南视为是亚太布局的一个重要支点,企图以与中国有着领海之争的越南来牵制中国,美国则充当幕后推手。

In May 2014, sea confrontation broke up between China and Vietnam over the oil platform issue, causing their relations to deteriorate suddenly. During the issue, US government and military delegations visited Vietnam in order to back it up, which added to Vietnam＇s arrogance and exacerbated tensions. This means that the strategic interaction between Vietnam and America has finally been made public. Since the US announced return to the Asia-Pacific region in 2009, Vietnam has strengthened its strategic interaction with the US and actively responded to its needs, in order to cooperate with the US ＂Asia-Pacific rebalancing＂ strategy and curb China＇s sovereign stance and claim over the South China Sea issue; and the US sees Vietnam as an important part of its Asia-Pacific strategic deployment and aims to use Vietnam to contain China because it has territorial disputes with China, with itself pulling the strings behind the scenes.
