从《东南亚集体防务条约》看美国的南中国海政策

1954年以美国为首签署的<东南亚集体防务条约>正式把南中国海纳入美国的防御圈内;此前,南中国海位于美国在西太平洋的防线之外.之后,该条约多次被试图援引,用以对付所谓的"共产主义",实指中国在南中国海的活动.纵观20世纪50、60年代,在遏制共产主义的战略下,美国不仅试图否认中国对南中国海岛礁的主权,还坚决反对中国在南中国海采取任何行动,但放任台湾当局、菲律宾和南越等冷战盟友在南中国海的活动.

Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty and American Policy towards the South China Sea

The Southeast Asia Collective Defence Treaty, signed at Manila in 1954, brought the South China Sea into American defense circle. Before that, it was out of American defense line in West Pacific. This treaty was used to contain communism, especially Chinas action in South China Sea after 1954. In order to contain communism , on one hand American not only denied Chinese sovereignty over Xisha and Nansha Islands, but also opposed China to take any action in the South China Sea during 1950s and 1960s , and on the other hand let alone Taiwan, Philippines and South Vietnam did what they wanted in South China Sea.
