"Division rejected" - Washington Times
August 17, 2007
The senior Air Force commander in the Pacific this week threw cold water on a Chinese military proposal to divide up the Pacific Ocean into U.S. and Chinese spheres of influence.
Gen. Paul V. Hester was asked about China’s recent plan to give the United States control of the eastern Pacific region, while China would control the western Pacific.
“Our policy is not to cede space to anyone,” Gen. Hester said in a telephone press conference from Hawaii.
He said the United States “needs to be” in the western Pacific, “as opposed to running through a proxy, if you will, by ceding a certain part of territory and asking them to take care of it for us.”
The proposal was made to Adm. Tim Keating, the overall commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, during a recent visit to China.

CHINA HAS THROWN DOWN A GAUNTLET TO AMERICA
"Beijing has turned control of the air space around the Senkaku Islands into a test of the US" - Financial Times
November 28, 2013
When Xi Jinping met Barack Obama in California this year, the Chinese president told his US counterpart the Pacific Ocean was large enough to accommodate two great powers. The inference was that the US and China should divide the spoils. Also implicit in the remark, though, was that China would not accept a status quo that saw the US remain the Pacific’s pre-eminent power. At the summit, Mr Obama sidestepped the issue. Now it seems Mr Xi has decided it is time for China to start grabbing its share.

China Opens Southeast-Coast Air Routes in Snub of Taiwan

Taiwan slams China flight routes plan
Agence France-Presse, Taipei | World | Tue, January 13 2015
Taiwan slammed a unilateral move by China to open four new flight routes over the Taiwan Strait as "unacceptable" Tuesday, saying it risked allowing planes to fly too close to aircraft on existing routes.
China on Monday announced it would start flying four new routes from coastal Zhejiang province and the cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen in Fujian province over the Taiwan Strait.

"They unilaterally announced the new routes before reaching an
agreement with us," Taiwan's
Civil Aeronautics Administration said in a statement.
"The measures are unacceptable to us. We demand the mainland side continue consulting with us", it said, adding that the move breached the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Sources said the Chinese authorities hope to use the routes to ease congestion on existing paths caused by the growing volume of air traffic.
But Taiwan said the routes represented a potential air defense threat, with M503's proposed path very close to skies in the Strait administered by Taiwan.
"The military will monitor, intercept and disperse [unidentified aircraft and ships] according to the established measures so as to safeguard the security of territory", Taiwan's defense ministry said in a statement.

In November 2013, China declared an air defense identification zone over a large part of the East China Sea amid a territorial dispute with Japan. More recently, two Chinese military airplanes in August entered Taiwan air space after another Chinese fighter performed a barrel roll over a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft near China’s Hainan island.

中国海軍高官「太平洋分割管理」案 を打診
（ＮＨＫＢＳ）2008.3.12
このＮＨＫの報道は、あとに引用する櫻井よしこ氏の証言と合致します。
ハワイ・ホノルルに司令部を置くアメリカ太平洋軍（略称ＰＡＣＯＭペイコム）の司令長官（当時）ティモシー・キーティング氏が、中国海軍から事実上太平洋を分割統治する提案を受けたと２００８年の上院軍事委員会公聴会で明らかにしました。
この人民解放軍の考え方は、習近平氏がアメリカ政府に繰り返し伝えた「太平洋はふたつの超大国を容れるために十分大きい」という提案と符号します。
２０１３年６月カリフォルニアでのオバマとの会談冒頭で習は前年の訪米にひき続きこの表現を用いましたが、同年１１月に中国国防相が発表した尖閣上空をふくむＡＤＩＺ（エイディーズ・防空識別圏）設定という動きは、おなじ意図の実力行使による表現であると、ファイナンシャルタイムスは報じました。
尖閣周辺海域への侵入も南シナ海での暴挙も、東アジアを支配するという中国の意思の表れであると考えることができます。もちろん海洋資源を手に入れることも目的に含まれるでしょう。不審な中国漁船による海上保安庁の巡視船やベトナムの漁船への体当たりのような、いかがわしい不法行為も手段として用いられていますし、国際法の強引な自己流解釈によって自己正当化を図っています。
中国はフィリピンが常設仲裁裁判所（オランダ・ハーグ）に提出した陳述書への回答を拒否しています。
「中国の太平洋進出の野望と焦りが明らかになった米中首脳会談」
櫻井よしこ・オフィシャルサイトコラムより
2013.06.22
（ 2013年6月7、8日に米カリフォルニアで行われたオバマ・習会談について）
習近平国家主席は首脳会談初日の7日、冒頭こう述べたと、中国通信が伝えている。
「昨年の訪米では、広大な太平洋には中米両大国を受け入れる十分な余地があると語ったが、私は現在もそう思っている」
2012年2月に習氏は副主席として訪米し、当時米国側から非常に冷たい対応を受けた。バイデン米副大統領は習氏を前にして、驚くほど率直な表現で 人権問題などを取り上げ中国を非難した。そのときにも語った事実上の太平洋分割統治を習主席は今回も冒頭で述べたわけだ。中国がどれほど強く太平洋進出の 野望を抱いているかは数年前の衝撃的な発言からもうかがえる。
08年3月、米太平洋司令官のティモシー・キーティング氏が上院軍事委員会に出席して、艦隊を率いて中国を訪問した折、中国側から太平洋を分割統治 しようとの提案を受けたと証言し、米国の対中警戒感は高まった。この太平洋分割統治を提案したのは中国海軍少将、楊毅氏だった。私は11年に楊氏と長時間 語ったが、その際に「太平洋分割統治の提案」について尋ねると、氏はこう語った。
「キーティング大将が07年に中国を訪れ、北京の世界貿易センターで会談しました。彼が中国は航空母艦を開発する必要があるのかと問い、私は率直に 『ある』と答えました。中国が必要とする空母の数を聞かれましたので、1隻から12隻だと答えると、キーティング大将は笑いました」
ちなみに米国が保有する空母は12隻である。このような会話の先に、楊氏は次のように述べたそうだ。
「中国と米国が太平洋の区域を分けて担当してもよいのではないか。責任の分担だと私は言ったのです。それが後に太平洋を東西に分割する共同管理を提案したと報道され、私は非常に驚きました」
楊氏は恰も冗談話にすぎないかのように語ったが、習主席が昨年、今年と、米国に提案したのは、まさに太平洋の分割統治案である。中国は一度言い出し たことは譲らない。中国の発想は、今後も東シナ海、南シナ海での領土領海の拡張を続けるという決意表明であり、周辺国にとっては受け入れ難い。
