Lassen<\/em> qui a effectu\u00e9 fin octobre une de ces missions disons de \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9ni-provocation\u00a0\u00bb si on veut d\u00e9crire la chose selon les visions oppos\u00e9es. Le r\u00e9sultat est \u00e9tonnant. Francis parle d’une ambiance extr\u00eamement d\u00e9contract\u00e9e, de communication constante avec les navires de guerre chinois qui suivent et surveillent \u00e0 quelques encablures, sur des sujets extr\u00eamement aimables (\u00ab\u00a0On mange de la pizza aujourd’hui, et vous ?\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0On pr\u00e9pare Halloween\u00a0\u00bb, etc.). Le ton et les pratiques, – que ce soit de la communication ou la simple description de la situation, – sont d’une aimable camaraderie courante en temps normal entre marins, \u00e0 mille lieues des terribles discours mena\u00e7ants du secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense Carter, et des furieuses r\u00e9ponses officielles des Chinois. On le constate chaque jour un peu plus, alors on le r\u00e9p\u00e8te : jamais la communication pr\u00e9tendant faire mieux comprendre la situation du monde n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi intense, jamais elle n’en a autant brouill\u00e9 la perception. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n« As the United States and China engaged in a stand-off last week over an American naval vessel in Chinese-claimed waters, front-line officers from the two sides bantered about chicken wings and Halloween preparations. Washington sent the guided missile destroyer USS Lassen to the South China Sea for a \u00ab\u00a0sail-by\u00a0\u00bb of Chinese-built isles that have raised concerns over Beijing’s deepening toehold in the strategic waterway. The move brought angry denunciations from China, which said its sovereignty had been violated, with US defence officials countering that US ships would continue such sailings<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n» But despite the big-power ramifications, radio contact between the two sides at the scene was frequent and surprisingly relaxed, according to an account of the close encounter by Commander Robert Francis of the USS Lassen. \u00ab\u00a0Every day a US ship is down here, we interact with the Chinese. It’s not uncommon for one of my officers on the decks to pick up the radio and start talking (to the Chinese),\u00a0\u00bb he said<\/em>. […] \u00ab\u00a0We picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey, what are you guys doing this Saturday? We got pizza and wings, we’re doing this, we’re planning for Halloween as well,'\u00a0\u00bb Commander Francis said, recalling exchanges with the Chinese navy. \u00ab\u00a0So, discussions of that nature, just trying to show we are normal sailors like them, have families just like them.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n» A Chinese destroyer shadowed the USS Lassen, repeatedly querying why it was in \u00ab\u00a0Chinese waters\u00a0\u00bb. \u00ab\u00a0I wouldn’t call them warnings,\u00a0\u00bb Commander Francis said. The US vessel’s carefully stage-managed \u00ab\u00a0freedom of navigation\u00a0\u00bb transit was meant to subtly challenge China’s sovereignty claims and stress the right to international free passage<\/em>… »<\/p>\n<\/p>\nMis en ligne le 11 novembre 2015 \u00e0 06H55<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
