English to Indonesian: U.S. operations in the South China Sea show that Washington is ‘not backing down,’ expert says General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English KEY POINTS
- The United States’ exercises are “definitely” a message to the region, said Gregory Poling of the CSIS. He also said U.S. allies are “very nervous” because China has been “pushing on all fronts” over the past few months.
- Both China and the U.S. carried out military exercises in the disputed South China Sea over the weekend.
- “This is about the U.S. saying that we are still in the region,” Poling told CNBC on Monday.
The U.S. Navy exercise in the disputed South China Sea over the weekend was about “showing the flag” and sending a message to the region, an expert told CNBC this week.
Two U.S. aircraft carriers conducted operations and exercises in the contested waters on the Fourth of July “in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the Navy said in a statement.
Beijing also carried out military training in the South China Sea from July 1 to July 5.
“The U.S. wants to send a message that it’s not backing down, and that it’s still able to do this,” said Gregory Poling of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Poling, who is the director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at CSIS, said there had been a lot of “bad press” in China about the United States being unable to keep up carrier operations because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“This is about the U.S. saying that we are still in the region,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Monday.
The South China Sea has been a point of dispute for Beijing and Washington because China is aggressive in claiming much of the region as its own territory, while the U.S. promotes freedom of navigation along the sea route. Countries including the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam have also laid claim to parts of the waterway.
The United States’ latest moves are “definitely” a message to the region, he said. Poling noted that a lot of allies are “very nervous” because China has been “pushing on all fronts” over the past few months. That includes along its border with India, across the strait with Taiwan, in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
″(They) want to know whether or not America still has the backbone for this,” he added.
While aircraft carriers probably have “very little to do with a modern fight” in this region, “this is about showing the flag,” Poling said.
Asked about the possibility of a miscalculation, he said the odds are low because neither the U.S. nor China want a fight, but it cannot be entirely discounted.
Beijing’s efforts to stop U.S. freedom of navigation operations have become “more and more aggressive,” and China is “highly sensitive” to perceived weakness because of the coronavirus, he said.
On the other hand, the U.S. is “committed to not being seen as a paper tiger,” he added. “There’s a small but non-zero chance of accidental escalation.”
Translation - Indonesian Para Ahli: Operasi Milik Amerika Di Laut Cina Selatan Memperlihatkan Bahwa Washington Tidak Akan Mundur.
POIN PENTING
- Pelatihan milik Amerika 'sebenarnya' adalah sebuah pesan yang ditujukan pada wilayah tersebut, kata anggota CSIS, Gregory Poling. Beliau juga mengatakan bahwa persekutuan-persekutuan pihak Amerika telah "mendorong semua pihak-pihak terkait" selama beberapa bulan terakhir.
- Baik Cina dan Amerika menyelesaikan pelatihan militer dalam konflik Laut Cina Selatan selama akhir pekan.
- "Ini merujuk pada Amerika yang mengatakan bahwa kami masih dalam wilayah tersebut," jelas Poling pada pihak CNBC hari Minggu kemarin.
Pelatihan Angkatan Laut Amerika terlibat dalam konflik Laut Cina Selatan selama akhir pekan mengenai "penampilan bendera" dan pengiriman sebuah pesan pada wilayah tersebut, seorang ahli memberitahu CNBC minggu ini.
Dua operator pesawat terbang memimpin operasi dan pelatihan dalam perairan yang direbutkan pada tanggal 4 Juli, pihak Angkatan Laut Amerika menyatakan "Mendukung pembebasan dan pengaktifan Indo-Pasifik".
Beijing juga mengadakan pelatihan militer di Laut Cina Selatan mulai tanggal 1 Juli hingga 5 Juli.
"Amerika ingin mengirimkan pesan bahwa mereka tidak menyerah dan masih mampu melakukannya." ujar anggota Central for Strategic and International Studies (Pusat Pembelajaran Strategi dan Internasional), Gregory Poling.
Poling, yang merupakan direktur Perintis Transparansi Asia Maritim dalam CSIS, mengatakan ada banyak "media massa buruk" di Cina tentang Amerika yang tidak mampu mengimbangi operasi para operator disebabkan pandemi Covid-19.
"Ini merujuk pada Amerika yang mengatakan bahwa kami masih dalam berada dalam wilayah tersebut," ujar beliau pada acara "Squawk Box Asia" milik CNBC hari Minggu.
Laut Cina Selatan telah berada tepat dalam konflik Beijing dan Washington karena Cina menjadi agresif dalam mengklaim banyak wilayah tersebut sebagai miliknya, sementara Amerika mempromosikan pembebasan perjalanan sepanjang rute laut tersebut. Negara-negara termasuk Filipina, Taiwan, dan Vietnam telah melayangkan klaim sebagian dari jalur perairan.
Pergerakan terakhir Amerika 'sebenarnya' adalah sebuah pesan yang ditujukan pada wilayah tersebut, kata beliau. Poling mencantumkan bahwa banyak sekutu yang 'sangat gugup' karena Cina telah "mendorong semua pihak-pihak terkait" selama beberapa bulan terakhir. Termasuk melibatkan perbatasan mereka dengan India, menyeberangi selat dengan Taiwan, baik pada Laut Cina Timur dan Laut Cina Selatan.
"(Mereka) ingin tahu apakah Amerika masih memiliki keberanian atau tidak mengenai ini," beliau menambahkan.
Selama para operator pesawat terbang memiliki "sangat sedikit usaha dalam pertempuran modern" dalam wilayah ini, "ini hanya mengenai pertunjukan bendera", kata Poling.
Saat ditanya mengenai kemungkinan kesalahan perhitungan, dia mengatakan bahwa peluangnya sedikit mengingat pihak pemerintah Amerika maupun Cina menginginkan pertarungan meskipun tidak dapat sepenuhnya diabaikan.
Usaha Beijing dalam menghentikan kebebasan perjalanan operasi Amerika semakin menjadi "lebih dan lebih agresif" dan Cina yang "sangat sensitif" akibat kelemahan yang dirasakan karena virus Corona, kata beliau.
Dengan kata lain, Amerika "berkomitmen untuk tidak dilihat sebagai seperti seekor harimau tanpa taring," beliau menambahkan. "Ada kesempatan kecil tapi tidak nol peningkatan tidak sengaja."
