摘要
《海洋自由:美国捍卫航行自由的斗争历程》一书是美国具有官方背景的学者所撰写的宣传、支持美国"航行自由行动"的最新力作。该书第十一章以"中国特色的航行自由"为题,通过叙述、分析、评论中美海洋法论争中的焦点争议与冲突事件,强烈指责中国的立场与做法。该章的内容存在重大法理瑕疵,是作者单方面宣扬和表达的"美国之声",不具有国际法上的客观性、公正性与严谨性。
The Free Sea: The American Fight for Freedom of Navigation [STBZ] is the latest publication written by US scholars with official background who endeavour to support the US “Freedom of Navigation Operations”. Chapter 11 of the book, titled “Freedom of Navigation with Chinese Characteristics”, provides a concise yet comprehensive account on the highlighted controversies and well-publicized incidents in the Sino-US “maritime legal debate”. The chapter targets at the Chinese official stance and its practice, criticized them harshly. The present commentary provides a brief yet insightful analysis of the content and significance of this chapter, revealing the critical flaws in the legal reasoning of the authors. By doing so, this commentary draws a conclusion that the chapter merely reflects the lop-sided “voice of America” from the US scholars, and the biased analysis and prejudiced criticism on the Chinese practice are by no means helpful, authoritative or valuable for those who intends to research relevant international law issues in the ongoing Sino-US “maritime legal debate”.
