20131125有關東海ADIZ白宮的初步回應

【Comment】

unnecessarily Inflammatory，激動的，朝日新聞的日文是「いたずらに挑発的だ」，胡亂挑釁。

但記者問的焦點在民航機，發言人推給國務院。

Q  If I could ask one other foreign policy question.  There's a brewing dispute between China and Japan about islands in the East China Sea.  China is now demanding that airlines inform them when they're going into that airspace.  Does the United States have a position on that, and is it advising U.S. airlines one way or the other?

MR. EARNEST:  What we have said about this is that we believe that this announcement from the Chinese government was unnecessarily inflammatory.  There are regional disputes in that part of the world, and those are disputes that should be resolved diplomatically.  And there should be, in this case, plenty of overlapping common ground to reach a situation -- or reach a resolution that doesn’t involve inflammatory, escalating rhetoric or policy pronouncements by any side.  And that’s how we hope that this situation will be resolved.

Q  And the airlines?

MR. EARNEST:  I’ll have to refer you to my colleagues at the State Department about that.
