Newtalk新聞 中國遼寧號（舷號16）航空母艦打擊群日前穿越第一島鏈，在台灣東部海域短暫操演後，即由呂宋海峽進入南海，脫離日本情報監控範圍。而最新消息顯示，遼寧號繞經菲律賓西側與蘇祿海，再由菲律賓最南端巴魯特島（Balut Island）進入太平洋。等於繞到菲律賓「背後」，方向直接朝向美國關島。專家直言，遼寧號的舉動有明顯「拒止」澳洲兵力北上的意圖，在經驗中學習兵力協同運作調派，與熟悉海域環境。 此次遼寧號編隊共四艘艦艇，除遼寧號外，包括兩艘055型（Renhai-class）大型導彈驅逐艦「無錫號（舷號104）」與「鞍山號（舷號104）」，以及一艘052D型（Luyang Ⅲ-class）導彈驅逐艦「淮南號（舷號123）」。編隊在菲律賓最南端附近海域活動時，曾遭菲律賓海軍艦艇跟監。這是遼寧號今年第二度赴西太平洋遠海訓練，先前一次為5至6月約40天的部署。 分析指出，遼寧號選擇繞經菲律賓南側再由最南端進入太平洋的航線，不僅突破第一島鏈，更將活動縱深從台灣東南部與南海向外延伸，形成對澳洲與紐西蘭等南太平洋方向兵力北上的空間拒止態勢。透過遠海編隊運作，解放軍得以在實戰環境中磨練航艦與護航艦艇的協同，並進一步熟悉菲律賓周邊與西太平洋南部的海域條件。 有媒體將遼寧號動向與美日「利劍27」演習相提並論，指雙方可能在菲律賓海形成對峙。不過，羅斯福號打擊群當時正於菲律賓海北部至中部海域參與演習，主活動區在日本西南方與沖繩周邊；遼寧號則位於菲律賓最南端附近。菲律賓海南北跨度極大，雙方實際相距千里，並無近距離交會的公開證據。延伸閱讀：中國逐步失去對菲涉華言行耐心？菲專家分析：中國恐祭10項反制措施美五角大廈與洛馬達成10年框架協議 至少生產850架F-35楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險陸委會10月最新民調「百萬人接受一國兩制」 黃暐瀚：台灣人必須共同面對中國AI影片被逆統戰！惡搞短劇「薇妮女皇習靜萍」 神韻87%像辣眼掀熱議
