中国在南中国海长期进行岛礁建设,引发周边声索国及域外大国的关切与竞争。
(德国之声中文网)路透社报道称,卫星图像显示,位于帕拉塞尔群岛(Paracel Islands,中国称西沙群岛,越南称黄沙群岛)羚羊礁(Antelope Reef)的施工现场正在进行场地平整作业,堆放着碎石和混凝土,还有压实设备在作业,旨在建造一条全尺寸跑道。据军事官员和安全分析人士称,这可能成为中国在该地区最重要的离岸军事据点之一。
这些由商业卫星影像提供商Vantor于9月25日拍摄的图像还显示,一艘满载碎石的驳船正驶向一座新建的码头。
报道称,一旦这一基地建设完成,将标志着中国过去十年来在南海最重大的军事扩张。此举将延伸中国海军舰艇及军机的活动范围,深入这一日益军事化的竞争场域。在南中国海,北京正与美国及其盟友围绕台湾问题展开角逐。
开源数据平台PLATracker的创始人本·刘易斯(Ben Lewis)表示:“如果以永暑礁(Fiery Cross Reef)的建设进度为参考,预计跑道将在2027年上半年铺设完成,并于2027年年中——甚至可能更早——实现首次着陆。”他所提及的永暑礁位置更靠南,位于争议海域南沙群岛(Spratly Islands),中国于2015年在该岛礁修建了一条3公里长的跑道。
“他们有十年的时间来提升施工速度,”刘易斯说。不过他指出,尚未发现任何建造弹药和燃料储存设施的挖掘迹象,而此类规模的基地通常需要相应存储设施。
中国国防部未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
中国也尚未承认正在这一区域建设新的军事基地。官方媒体则表示,羚羊礁的设施将服务于气象预报、海洋及科学研究等民用需求。
在位于南中国海北部的羚羊礁建立基地,将有助于延长中国各类海军舰艇及军用飞机的部署时间,并保卫海南岛周边的进出海域。海南岛的军事基地部署有携带核弹头的弹道导弹潜艇。
路透社8月下旬曾报道,在羚羊礁附近的一处较小岛礁“鸭公岛”(Yagong Island)上发现了新建施设;不过,分析人士尚未能确切判断这处三叉形建筑的可能用途。
除中国外,越南和台湾也都声称对整个西沙群岛拥有主权。1974年,中国在一次短暂的战斗中将当时的南越军队从西沙群岛的据点驱逐,并无视河内的反对,一直占据着这些岛屿。越南外交部以及台湾国防部和外交部均未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
在羚羊礁的工程建设取得进展之际,中国本周证实将在邻国老挝建立一个新的联合军事支援设施,此举可能会加深北京在东南亚的影响力。
