澳洲助理國防部長哈斯蒂(Andrew Hastie)宣布,澳洲海軍不會理睬中共要求進入所謂“中國領海”的外國船舶必須事先申報的新法令,並表示澳洲海軍艦艇今年已六次穿越南中國海。
中國宣布9月1日起施行修訂後的《海上交通安全法》。根據新法令,中國海事局要求包括軍艦和潛艇在內的外國船舶進入所謂“中國領海”前需向中方事先申報。中國上個月對在其單方麵強加的南海“九段線”內行駛的船舶實行了這一規定,要求它們“報告其詳細信息”。但哈斯蒂說,澳洲國防軍軍艦不會改變他們在南中國海國際水域的行為。
據《澳洲人報》報導,哈斯蒂告訴澳洲的美國商會說:“澳洲國防軍軍艦和軍機將繼續行使國際法規定的航行和飛越自由的權利,包括在南中國海,我們支持其它國家也這樣做”。
“這就是我們所說的維護基於規則的全球秩序的含義。自第二次世界大戰結束以來,美國海軍力量一直維護這一秩序。在阿富汗事件之後,讓美國重新關注印度—太平洋地區(安全)變得非常重要。”

UPDATE: The PRC's statement about this USS Benfold mission is false. USS Benfold conducted this freedom of navigation operation in accordance with international law and then continued on to conduct normal operations in international waters.
