中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益不容侵犯——评美国国务卿蓬佩奥所谓“涉南海声明”

On Inviolability of China’s Sovereignty and Maritime Rights in the South China Sea:Refuting Secretary Pompeio’s Statement Concerning U.S.Position on Maritime Claims in the South China Sea

美国国务卿蓬佩奥所谓"涉南海声明"引起了国际社会的广泛关注,受到中国政府和人民的强烈批评。声明罔顾南海问题的历史经纬和客观事实,违背美国政府在南海主权问题上不持立场的公开承诺,违反和歪曲国际法,以所谓南海仲裁案"裁决"为依据,否定中国在南海大部分海域的离岸资源的合法权益,还刻意渲染南海地区紧张局势,蓄意制造意识形态对立,公开胁迫别国选边站队,企图以此离间其他国家同中国的关系,干扰破坏中国与东盟国家维护南海和平稳定的努力,以便搅乱南海,从中渔利。这一声明的要害是失道失信、肆意妄为。在法律上,被蓬佩奥捧为"神明"的所谓南海仲裁案"裁决",是一颗"毒树之果",自始就没有任何法律效力。中国在南海问题上的立场和主张,有充分的历史和法律依据,在国际社会得到了愈来愈多的理解和支持。中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益不容侵犯,任何企图遏制中国的政治图谋注定要以失败而告终。

The recent policy statement concerning U.S.position on maritime claims in the South China Sea(SCS)by Michael Pompeo,Secretary of State,has caused worldwide concern and strong criticism.Featured by ignoring the historical background and objective facts of the SCS issues,breaking its promise not to take side in the SCS dispute,distorting international law and based on an illegal arbitral decision,the statement arbitrarily denied China’s legitimate rights and interests to offshore resources across most of the SCS.It also attempted to alienate ASEAN countries from China by deliberately exaggerating the tense situation in the SCS,creating ideological opposition and intimidating other countries to align with US,so as to damage the efforts of China and ASEAN countries in maintaining the regional peace and stability and to serve its own selfish interests of US.The most serious problem of this statement is of dishonesty and apart from Dao(justice and truth).Legally speaking,the arbitration decision praised and heavily relied upon by Secretary Pompeo is just the fruit of a poisonous tree and has no legal effect at all.China’s claims to the SCS have sufficient historical and legal basis,and have gained increasing support from international community.China’s legitimate rights and interests in the SCS are inviolable.Any political plot to contain China is doomed to failure.
