美国之于南海的“灰色地带”战略

A “Gray Zone” Strategy of the United States in the South China Sea

美国"灰色地带"战略,希望在大国竞争过程中维护并增进国家利益,降低冲突成本,威慑对手进而维持美国主导下的国际秩序。美国凭借着在南海周边维持的优势,污蔑中国在南海进行所谓的"灰色地带胁迫",主张以"和平方式"解决南海争端,对主权争端"不持立场"的同时反对中国的主张和行为并综合运用美国的能力遏制中国。特朗普政府虽然未出台明确的南海政策,但新政府正在试图改变美国的对华认知,对南海的军事介入程度增加,并已"常态化"等表现预示着美国有可能进一步干预南海事务。

The Gray Zone Strategy of the United States hopes to maintain and enhance national interests, reduce the cost of conflict, deter adversaries and maintain the international order led by the United States in the process of competition among major powers. The United States has vilified China’s “coercion”in Gray Zone in the South China Sea,advocated to resolve the south China sea disputes in a “peaceful manner”, did not stand for sovereignty disputes while opposing China’s claims or actions and comprehensively used capabilities to contain China by virtue of its advantages around the South China Sea.Although the Trump administration has not promulgated a clear South China Sea policy, the new administration is trying to change the American perception of China,increasing military involvement in the South China Sea which has become “normalized”.These developments clearly indicate that the United States is likely to further intervene in the South China Sea affairs.
