New York: US surveillance aircraft and naval ships have yet to test China`s
territorial claims around artificial islands built in the South China Sea,
but the Pentagon warned Thursday that could be "the next step."
Although the United States does not recognize China`s claims of sovereignty
around the manmade structures, American P-8 surveillance planes and naval
vessels patrolling the area have not ventured within 12 nautical miles of
the artificial islands -- the standard territorial zone around natural land.
"That would be the next step," Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren told
reporters.
Asked if the military would move to within that sensitive zone, he said: "We
don`t have any announcement to make on next steps. We are going to continue
our routine flights."
US officials have said they are weighing sending warships and surveillance
aircraft within 12 nautical miles of the manmade islands in the South China
Sea to test Beijing`s controversial territorial claims.
But the move could raise tensions and lead to a standoff on the high seas --
in an area vital to global shipping lanes.
Beijing regards almost the whole of the South China Sea as its own.
The comments came after an American television crew aboard a P-8 Poseidon
plane captured a tense radio exchange between the US aircraft and Chinese
forces in the South China Sea.
"This is the Chinese navy... This is the Chinese navy... Please go away...
to avoid misunderstanding," a voice can be heard telling the Americans,
according to a video of the exchange released by the US Navy.
The Chinese navy issued eight such warnings during the P-8`s flight near the
Fiery Cross Reef, one of the sites of Beijing`s massive land reclamation
effort, CNN reported.
American pilots replied in each case that they were flying through "
international airspace."
Journalists are rarely allowed to fly in a sophisticated P-8 spy plane, much
less permitted to film inside the cockpit, as the CNN crew was.
The extraordinary access, along with a rare video released by the US Navy
from the P-8`s flight, underscored Washington`s determination to focus
global attention on China`s large-scale dredging work in the South China Sea.
The Chinese warnings to the US aircraft are typical and occur frequently, a
navy official told AFP.
"It`s not uncommon," the official said.
And sometimes the Chinese send military aircraft to visually identify
American planes in the area, the official added.
With Beijing pursuing land reclamation at an unprecedented pace, a US naval
commander has accused China of building a "great wall of sand" in the South
China Sea to bolster its territorial claims. | c*******2
