中国拒绝美航母停靠香港 外媒：中方借此表达不满
参考消息网5月1日报道 外媒称，美国官员4月29日表示，中国政府拒绝美军“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号航空母舰访问香港。这是在因南中国海争端而导致两国关系紧张的背景下发生的一起军事和外交领域的怠慢事件。
卡特此前乘其穿行南海
据美国《华尔街日报》网站4月29日报道，中国外交部4月28日对美国说，中国将拒绝“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号航母和4艘护航舰艇5月3日停靠香港并停留5天的计划。
报道称，北京和华盛顿一直因南中国海问题而不睦。这一争端已持续很多年，但随着中国在南中国海填海造岛、美国采取反制措施之后，这场争端越来越引人关注。
报道称，北京拒绝美国军舰进入香港（美国常常称这种例行访问是两国友好关系的证据）标志着两国关系趋冷。美国官员指出，“蓝岭”号两栖指挥舰已停靠在香港。
五角大楼发言人比尔·厄本说：“我们最近被告知，美国航母战斗群——包括‘约翰·斯滕尼斯’号航母及其护航舰艇——到香港进行港口访问的请求被拒绝。长期以来，我们多次成功对香港进行港口访问，目前美国‘蓝岭’号就在香港。我们希望港口访问能继续下去。”
据报道，从南中国海返回的“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号刚刚在4月15日接待了美防长卡特。在登上航母前，卡特宣布了一系列加强美菲联盟的举措，包括向该地区的基地部署美国战机，以制衡在该地区影响力越来越大的中国。
据法新社4月29日报道，美国国防部发言人当日表示，中国已拒绝了美国提出的“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号航母及其随行军舰停靠香港的要求。这一事件是在两国关系因南中国海问题而日趋紧张的背景下出现的。
美防长卡特曾于4月15日登上正在南中国海争议水域巡航的“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号，并重申美方认为必须维持南中国海的航行自由，他还承诺美国将继续向菲律宾以及其他国家提供援助，以帮助它们应对“恫吓”与“强制”。
据美国《纽约时报》网站4月29日报道，五角大楼官员当日表示，中国政府拒绝了美军一个舰队进入香港的港口。这是中美紧张关系不断升级的最新迹象。
五角大楼官员称，这是2014年8月以来中国政府首次拒绝美国航母进入香港。
据日本《产经新闻》4月30日报道，美国海军“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号核动力航母1月从美国华盛顿州起航，在朝鲜发射远程导弹后参加了美韩联合军演，同时也在南海开展警戒监视活动。
美防长卡特4月访问菲律宾时视察了该航母。当时该航母在南海由中国实际控制的斯卡伯勒浅滩（即我黄岩岛——本网注）和菲律宾北部岛屿之间航行，目的是牵制中国。 报道称，中国此次拒绝该航母停靠香港，似乎是对上述行为进行“报复”。
中方借此表达对美不满
据英国《金融时报》网站4月29日报道，随着中美紧张关系因南中国海争端而持续发酵，中国拒绝了美国“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号航母到香港访问的计划。
分析家表示，这样的事件并非没有先例。2007年中国曾拒绝另一艘美军航母“小鹰”号访问香港的请求。
不过他们表示，两国海军间的关系近年来有所改善。自从“小鹰”号事件后，有许多美军航母都曾造访香港。
智库洛伊国际政策研究所专家尤安·格雷厄姆表示，“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号遭拒事件看上去尤其奇怪，因为另一艘美国舰艇“蓝岭”号两栖指挥舰目前正在香港访问。
他说：“港口访问是为了露露脸、与当地居民建立联系以及展示存在。取消港口访问是一种相对低风险的举动，以表达愤怒或不满。”
据英国广播公司网站4月30日报道，在南中国海局势持续升温之际，中国拒绝了以“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号为首的航母战斗群访问香港的要求。
报道称，“约翰·斯滕尼斯”号一直在南中国海巡逻。中国对南中国海的大部分区域有主权要求，并且进行岛礁扩建工程。
长期以来美国各种军舰定期停靠香港，不过在中美关系紧张的时候，这种访问有时候会被中止，例如2001年在海南岛附近发生美军EP-3侦察机同中国军机相撞事件的时候。在2007年感恩节期间美国“小鹰”号航母也被拒绝进入香港，但数月后该航母又获准在香港停靠。美国海军“哈尔西”号驱逐舰2014年也被拒绝在香港停靠。
美舰在中国停靠期间经常邀请中国军官登舰访问，有时候还用飞机搭载他们到海上的美国航母参观。
据德国之声电台网站4月29日报道，殖民地时期，香港一直是各国军舰在东亚的重要补给港口，美军舰艇也时常停靠。而在香港回归中国后，根据香港基本法规定，在事先得到中央政府特别许可后，外国军用船只可以进入香港。
据报道，中美双方也在1997年初达成额外协议，允许美国军舰在香港回归后继续到香港进行维修和补给。此后，美军舰艇能否停靠香港也成了两国关系的晴雨表。2001年，中美军机南中国海相撞事件后，美国军舰就一度被拒绝停靠香港。
