中新网6月24日电(张东方)南海稳，则地区国家受益；南海乱，则地区国家遭殃。近期，中国社科院亚 太与全球战略研究院研究员、中国周边战略研究室主任王俊生在南海问题相关论坛上指出，当前，南海 秩序构建迎来机遇期，中国-东盟安全合作空间广阔。 南海地区和平稳定是包括中国在内的地区国家的共同愿望，符合各方利益。然而，近年来，美国不断推 进"印太战略"，企图将南海变成遏制中国的重要前沿。 王俊生指出，美国与中国在东亚的战略博弈，必然投射至南海问题，特朗普政府会继续将南海问题作为 中美战略竞争的抓手，但对南海问题的关注度不如美国前总统拜登在任时期。 2024年8月16日，海南临高，众多渔船出海作业。当日12时，为期3个半月的中国南海伏季休渔期结束。 海南省1.36万艘渔船抢"鲜"出海捕捞。中新社记者骆云飞摄 "特朗普政府更关注国内问题。在东亚地区，美国更关注朝鲜问题。而在对华竞争中，台湾问题会优先 于南海。"王俊生说。 他强调，东亚国家坚持务实原则，在美国对华战略竞争中保持中立。它们坚持从本国利益出发，不排斥 和中美两国合作，这种理性立场为南海稳定秩序的构建，创造了有利条件。因此，当前是南海秩序构建 的机遇期。中国与东盟 ...

军事专家张军社18日对《环球时报》记者表示，近些年来，日美菲海军以及海上执法部门持续开展所谓 的联合演习、巡航活动，包括日方一直在向菲方提供武器装备，其最终目的还是要"推动"菲方在南海问 题上持续"兴风作浪"。张军社分析认为，日方这样做有两方面考虑，首先是钓鱼岛方向，中国海警持续 开展的维权巡航活动给日方造成"压力"，它们想煽动菲律宾在南海方向生事以分散中方"精力"。此外， 这些所谓联合演习的深层目的还是配合美国的"印太战略"。张军社表示，日本现在是最积极配合美 国"印太战略"的国家之一，很多时候已扮演"组局者"利用海洋问题试图钳制中国。 日本一方面小动作频频，一方面无理指责中国。香港《南华早报》6月18日报道称，日本陆上自卫队前 幕僚长岩田清文近日在接受日媒采访时宣称，中方在钓鱼岛海域所采取的"日益强硬的举动"是在为"登 陆和占领钓鱼岛"做准备。 据报道，岩田清文表示，过去两年中国在钓鱼岛周边的海上存在不断加强，他妄称中国海警船"频繁进 入日本领海"，并指责今年5月中国海警舰船出动舰载直升机在钓鱼岛海域维权的行为。报道还援引岩田 清文的话称，中国海警也"已经做好准备"，采取可能的夺岛行动。岩田清文称："（中 ...
