（转自龙腾网）China's Defence Ministry denounced as gesticulation on Thursday speculation it would declare an air defense zone over the disputed South China Sea, after the United States said it had told China itwould not recognize one.U.S. officials have expressed concern that an international court ruling expected in coming weeks on a case brought by the Philippines against China over its South China Sea claims could prompt China to declare an air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, as it did over the East China Sea in 2013.

在美国宣布其不会承认中国可能在南海划设的航空识别区后，中国国防部在周三以公开批评的方式反驳了中国要在南海划设航空识别区的推测。国际法庭在未来几周将对中国和菲律宾的南海纠纷案作出判决。美国官方对最终的判决结果表示关切。而这也可能促使中国在南海宣布防空识别区，就像其2013年在东海做的那样。

U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work said on Wednesday the U.S. would view such a move as "destabilizing" and would not recognize such an exclusion zone in the South China Sea, just as it did not recognize the one China established over the East China Sea.
Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun, asked about Work's remarks, said any sovereign state had the right to set up an ADIZ.

美国防副部长Robert Work 称美国将视此举为破坏稳定的举动，将不会承认中国在南海设立的防空识别区，就像不会承认中国在东海设立的防空识别区那样。而发言人杨宇军称任何国家都有权设立防空识别区。

The world is the business of the USA. It's economic and national security interests are affected by matters large and small on all parts of the planet. No, I am not being facetious.
Hopefully the Chinese will let reason rule and it won't come to armed conflict they cannot win.

全世界都是美国的事。美国的经济和国家利益受到世界上大大小小事情的影响。我不是在开玩笑。
希望中国可以理性，不要和美国产生武装冲突，中国赢不了的。

If our politicians and companies hadn't given them all our jobs and manufacturing, they'd still be growing rice in some pond. Thanks Walmart shoppers.

要不是我们的政客和企业把我们所有的工作机会和制造业都让给了他们，他们现在还在池塘里种大米呢。多亏了沃尔玛的顾客。

Hey China, if the US minded their own business in WWII, your country would be called New Japan today.

喂，中国，如果美国在二战中不多管闲事，贵国现在的名字说不定就叫“新日本”。[/copy]

Love the map and the claims. At least the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam have somewhat non-competing claims against one another. Brunei's claim ends right where the gas field ends. China and Taiwan are just greedy.

喜欢地图和声明，至少菲律宾、马来西亚、越南彼此间有着非竞争性的诉求，文莱的诉求止于气田终止的地方。 中国和台湾地区就贪心 了。

Why argue and fight over the vast SCS?

为什么要为广阔的南海争论和战斗呢？

Why not make it a free zone for all the countries around it and share what's the resources in it.

为什么不创造为所有周边国家一个公共的区域 分享其中的资源呢？

Fish, gas & oil etc.

渔业 天然气 石油

The Chinese can lead to explore the rich mineral resources in SCS as they have the resources to do just that and share accordingly the profits deriving from this exploration with all the claimant countries.

由于中国有能力所以可以带头开采南海的矿物资源，然后将开采所得的利润相应的与各个主权声明国家分享。

Make it an open sea fishing ground for everybody in the region and makes everyone's happy.

创造一个开放的海洋捕鱼区域吧！ 为了这区域的所有人！让每个人都幸福快乐！

Nobody owns the sea and sky.

没有人拥有海洋和天空。

No such thing as owning something without a land mass.

没有陆地作为基础，就不可能拥有整片海洋和天空

All these loser nations keep producing keyboard warriors, yeah like that'll save the day.

所有那些失败者的国家常常盛产键盘侠，是呀 像这样打发日子。

To china it is about reclamation, all these former colonial slave nations are making claims from thieving colonial masters.

中国这是在收复自己的领土，而那些之前的奴隶国家都根据自己的殖民主来声称这里的主权。

It is only because of china's civil war did these opportunists help themselves to Chinese islands/land.

是中国的内战，才使得这些机会主义者有机会窃取中国的领土和岛屿

China's 9 dash line claim is a inherit claim after a regime change. Though both gov. still exists today,

中国的九虚线声明是在政权更迭之后的继承声明，即便是两边政府今日依然存在。

it's still consider family business, none of your business.

这依旧是人家家里的家务事，而不关你们的事情

If one follows a 1947 map edition published by American map publisher Rand McNally, China owns almost all the islands in the South China Sea way before the UNCLOS and the 200 nautical miles limit came into the picture.

如果一方遵循1947年由美国地图出版商Rand McNally的地图划分，中国人拥有几乎南海所有岛屿，早于联合国海洋法公约和已写入图片的两百航海距离限制。[/copy]
