Russian expert: China has the ability to terminate the Philippine warships "aground" charity reef

Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, July 8 (reporter Hu Xiaoguang)-Russia kangsitanding·jialibofu 8th international experts said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua that China has the ability to terminate the old warship of the Philippines "aground" reef of charity in China. If you take matters to the point of forcing the Chinese to take actions in the Philippines, its responsibilities also in the Philippines.

In 1999, the Philippines an old warship "stranded" love reef in the Nansha Islands in China under the pretext of illegal "beach". Since then, China's sustained representations to the Philippines and representations and demands that it immediately towed the ship. But the Philippines has been "missing parts" for not towing, and by ships the internal consolidation, such as attempting to permanently occupy love rocks.

Currently "today Russia" international news agency commentator Garibov said, China has the technical ability to terminate the ship charity reef existence, including in cases without causing casualties to be sunk. Whether China will do that will depend on the next move in the Philippines.

Long-term concern of the situation in the South China Sea Garibov said previously, when the Philippines is interrupted when the negotiations with China, unilaterally instituted arbitration, China has every reason to take action. But for regional stability, China showed great patience and restraint. China warned the Philippines: do not use this old warship escalate tensions, not strengthening it, or be made into a military facility. However, the Philippines relied on United States backing for China's warning fell on deaf ears.

Garibov believes that this old warship is not located in the Philippines, but illegally stopped in reef-loving. If the Philippine military solution to this state of affairs leads and forcing the Chinese action to tow away or sinking it, and that responsibility also in the Philippines.

俄专家：中国有能力终止菲律宾军舰“坐滩”仁爱礁

　　新华社莫斯科7月8日电（记者胡晓光）俄罗斯国际问题专家康斯坦丁·加里博夫8日在接受新华社记者专访时表示，中国完全有能力终止菲律宾将旧军舰“坐滩”在中国仁爱礁的存在。如果菲律宾把事态引向迫使中方采取行动的地步，其责任也在菲方。

　　1999年，菲律宾一艘旧军舰以“搁浅”为借口在中国南沙群岛仁爱礁非法“坐滩”。此后，中方就此持续向菲方提出抗议和交涉，要求其立即拖走该舰。但菲方一直以“缺少零部件”为由没有将其拖走，而且通过军舰内部整固等方式企图永久侵占仁爱礁。

　　目前担任“今日俄罗斯”国际新闻通讯社评论员的加里博夫说，中国具备一切技术能力终止这艘军舰在仁爱礁的存在，包括在不造成人员伤亡的情况下将其炸沉。中国是否会采取这一行动将取决于菲律宾下一步的行动。

　　长期关注南海局势的加里博夫说，此前，当菲律宾中断与中国的谈判、单方面提起仲裁之时，中国有充分理由采取行动。但为了地区稳定，中国表现出高度忍耐和克制。同时中国向菲律宾发出警告：不要利用这艘旧军舰加剧紧张局势，既不要加固它，也不要把它搞成军事设施。但是，菲律宾仰仗美国撑腰对中方的警告置若罔闻。

　　加里博夫认为，这艘旧军舰不是位于菲律宾领土，而是非法停在仁爱礁。如果菲律宾把这一事态引向军事解决的地步，迫使中方采取行动拖走或炸沉它，那责任也在菲方。
