The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: us heavily in the South China Sea show of force taxpayers do support

Q: United States officials say, the United States confirmed suspected martial law of China in the South China Sea near the huangyan island has taken action and speculation China will on huangyan Island reclamation and increased vigilance. Since the beginning of the 19th of this month, United States Air Force A-10 fighters and other military aircraft near the huangyan island "international airspace" patrols. Comment on this? Whether will be reclaimed in Scarborough?

A: I note recent media let speculation China may in Scarborough to take actions, it exposes some of the anxiety in those doing so?

I would like to stress again is that huangyan island is China's territory. China's huangyan Island what action to take, or refrain from taking any action, it is a matter within the sovereignty of China. China confident that also have the ability to safeguard its own sovereignty and legitimate rights are not violated.

Asked: it was reported that several members of the US Congress, according to United States waters in the South China Sea about "freedom of navigation" should become a routine action. Now United States sending warships into the area every 3 months, "there is not enough to send a strong message to the Chinese. "What is your response to this?

A: we have taken note of relevant reports. We also noted that the United States public opinion, the military deliberately rendered amplifier called the threat posed by China in the South China Sea. United States the national interest magazine recently said that US fears Chinese sovereignty over the South China Sea claims affect the argument of international trade flows in the region, in the South China Sea related activities do not harm us national security. Us sending aircraft carriers to the South China Sea show of force, one aircraft carrier battle group acquisition cost as much as $ 13 billion, the average daily expenditure of 6.5 million dollars, while the Treasury has more than 19 trillion dollars. Don't know us someone to spare no effort in promoting the so-called "freedom of navigation" was when United States taxpayers ' support.

I would like to reiterate that China has always respected and supported the real freedom of navigation in accordance with international law, but is firmly against any pretext of freedom of navigation in nominal damage China's sovereignty and security interests.

外交部：美军重金在南海炫耀武力 纳税人支持吗

　　问：美国政府官员称，美方确认中方在南海黄岩岛附近采取了疑似戒严行动，由此猜测中方将在黄岩岛填海造地并加强警戒。自本月19日开始，美空军派出A-10战斗机等军用飞机在黄岩岛附近的“国际空域”巡逻。中方对此有何评论？是否将在黄岩岛进行填海造地？

　　答：我注意到最近有媒体不断放风臆测中方可能在黄岩岛采取行动，这是否暴露出某些人内心的焦虑呢？

　　我想再次强调的是，黄岩岛是中国固有领土。中方在黄岩岛采取什么行动，或者不采取什么行动，都是中国主权范围内的事。中方有信心，也有能力维护好自身的主权和正当权益不受到侵害。

　　问：据报道，数名美国会议员日前称，美国在南海有关海域开展的“航行自由行动”应成为常规行动。现在美国每3个月派遣舰只进入该地区，“根本不足以向中国发出强烈信息。”你对此有何回应？

　　答：我们注意到有关报道。同时我们也注意到，美国内有舆论认为，美军方故意渲染放大所谓中方在南海造成的威胁。比如美国《国家利益》杂志近日称，美担忧中方对南海主权声索影响本地区国际贸易流通的说法站不住脚，中方在南海有关活动没有损害美国家安全。美军派航母赴南海炫耀武力，一个航母战斗群购置费用高达130亿美元，日均行动开支650万美元，而美国债已超过19万亿美元。不知道美方某些人在不遗余力推动开展所谓“航行自由行动”时是否得到了美国纳税人的支持。

　　我想再次重申，中方一贯尊重和支持符合国际法的真正的航行自由，但坚决反对任何假借航行自由名义损害中国主权和安全利益的行为。
