美国驻英国大使沃伦·斯蒂芬斯称，中国主导全球航道的企图对主权国家构成威胁

美国驻英国大使沃伦·斯蒂芬斯警告称，中国正将对全球海洋的掌控作为“政治胁迫”工具，而唐纳德·特朗普总统正因同样的原因，再次表达对格陵兰岛的兴趣。
斯蒂芬斯在给国际海事组织理事会的一份声明中警告，中国正试图将港口、船只和供应链变成地缘政治影响力的工具。
“我谈到了一个我们不容忽视的挑战：中国系统性地将海洋力量用作政治胁迫的工具，”斯蒂芬斯在演讲后在Truth Social上发帖写道。

“北京方面一直在推行一项积极的战略，在全球范围内获取港口特许权和基础设施——这不只是为了商业利益，更是为了扩大其战略触角，并将这种准入权武器化，对准主权国家。”
斯蒂芬斯在国际海事组织的讲话中表示，美国“不是海洋事务的被动旁观者”，并称美国是“全球海洋经济的基石”。
他表示，美国海上运输系统每年支撑着5.4万亿美元的经济活动和近3000万个就业岗位。

此次警告发出之际，特朗普仍在霍尔木兹海峡开展斡旋，并因中国和俄罗斯对北极自由航行构成威胁，向丹麦和北约施压，要求美国控制格陵兰岛。
“丹麦并没有真正花钱帮助格陵兰，但格陵兰对美国来说很重要。而且它周围全是中国船只和俄罗斯船只，”特朗普在土耳其安卡拉举行的北约峰会上说道。
为了全球安全，格陵兰岛“应该由美国控制，而不是丹麦”，特朗普补充道。
“他们不会同意的，”特朗普在谈到丹麦时说，“还有我们花了那么多钱帮助他们应对俄罗斯。而且我们本不必花一分钱。我们可以把所有士兵从欧洲撤走，因为你们可能也注意到了，欧洲和20年前大不一样了。大不一样了。”

格陵兰岛地处北极和北大西洋之间，已成为美国安全规划的关键一环。
“特朗普总统已将恢复美国海洋领导力列为国家优先事项，”斯蒂芬斯在国际海事组织的讲话中就中国更广泛的海洋布局发出警告时说道。
“证据清晰且越来越多，”斯蒂芬斯说，“中国目前建造了全球超过一半的船只。它主导了岸桥和集装箱的生产。”
斯蒂芬斯以巴拿马近期的情况为例，指出巴拿马最高法院裁定和记港口控股在巴尔博亚和克里斯托瓦尔码头的港口特许权违宪。这两个码头位于巴拿马运河两端，而巴拿马运河是全球战略意义最重要的贸易通道之一。

斯蒂芬斯表示，中国对巴拿马这项裁决的回应“迅速且具有惩罚性”，指责北京方面对悬挂巴拿马国旗的船只采取行动，美国将此举定性为企图破坏巴拿马主权、扰乱全球供应链。
“巴拿马发生的事对在座每个国家都是一个警告，”斯蒂芬斯说。
“当一个国家允许外国势力或其代理人控制其港口时，它不只是接受了一项商业协议，”他补充道，“它接受了一种脆弱性。”
斯蒂芬斯敦促国际海事组织成员国仔细审查允许外国实体、尤其是与国家有关联的企业运营关键港口基础设施的协议。
“透明度、法治和真正的主权不是商业的障碍，”斯蒂芬斯说，“它们是商业的基础。”
这位大使还表示，美国将推动海事安全、制裁执法、船旗国权利保护、航行自由，以及极地作业、自主船舶和网络风险管理方面的更新标准。
“这种模式始终如一：中国利用其海洋和经济实力胁迫、恐吓和惩罚那些主张主权权利的国家，”斯蒂芬斯说。
中国政府一贯驳斥美国有关其海外基础设施投资具有胁迫性的指责，将其港口、航运和“一带一路”项目描述为支持全球贸易和发展的商业伙伴关系。

斯蒂芬斯表示，美国将继续在国际海事组织贡献专业知识、资源和领导力，但警告基于规则的海洋秩序不能被视为理所当然。
“自由开放的海洋并非理所当然，”他说，“它必须得到捍卫。”

Trump envoy warns China’s power move at sea is threat ‘we cannot afford to ignore’

US Ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens says China’s desire to dominate global waterways is a threat to sovereign nations
By Eric Mack
China is using control over global seas as a tool of “political coercion,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom warned, and President Donald Trump is restating his interest in Greenland for that very same reason.
China is seeking to turn ports, ships and supply chains into instruments of geopolitical leverage, U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Warren Stephens warned in a statement to the International Maritime Organization Council (IMO).
“I spoke about a challenge that we cannot afford to ignore: China’s systematic effort to use maritime power as an instrument of political coercion,” Stephens wrote in a Truth Social post after the speech.

“Beijing has pursued an aggressive strategy of acquiring port concessions and infrastructure around the world — not simply for commercial gain, but to extend its strategic reach and weaponize that access against sovereign nations.”
The U.S. is “not a passive observer of maritime affairs,” Stephens told the IMO, calling America a “cornerstone of the global maritime economy.”
He said the U.S. Maritime Transportation System supports $5.4 trillion in economic activity each year and nearly 30 million jobs.

The warning comes as Trump continued peacemaking efforts in the Strait of Hormuz and pressing Demark and NATO for U.S. control over Greenland due to Chinese and Russian threats to free navigation in the Arctic.
“Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the United States. And it’s surrounded by China ships and Russian ships,” Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.
For global security, Greenland “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” Trump added.
“They wouldn’t go along with it,” Trump said of Denmark. “And with all the money we spend to help them with Russia. And we don’t have to spend any money. We could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe because, as you probably noticed, Europe is a very different place than it was 20 years ago. A lot different.”

Greenland’s position between the Arctic and North Atlantic has made it a key piece of U.S. security planning.
“President Trump has made restoring American maritime leadership a national priority,” Stephens said in his IMO remarks warning on China’s broader maritime footprint.
“The evidence is clear and growing,” Stephens said. “China currently builds more than half of the world’s ships. It dominates the production of ship-to-shore cranes and shipping containers.”
Stephens cited Panama as a recent example, pointing to a ruling by Panama’s Supreme Court that found CK Hutchison’s port concessions at the Balboa and Cristóbal terminals unconstitutional. The terminals sit at opposite ends of the Panama Canal, one of the world’s most strategically important trade corridors.

Stephens said China’s response to the Panama ruling was “swift and punishing,” accusing Beijing of taking action against Panama-flagged vessels in a move the U.S. characterized as an attempt to undermine Panama’s sovereignty and disrupt global supply chains.
“What happened to Panama is a warning to every nation in this room,” Stephens said.
“When a country allows a foreign power or its proxies to control its ports, it does not simply accept a commercial arrangement,” he added. “It accepts a vulnerability.”
Stephens urged IMO member states to closely scrutinize deals allowing foreign entities, especially state-linked enterprises, to operate critical port infrastructure.
“Transparency, the rule of law and genuine sovereignty are not obstacles to commerce,” Stephens said. “They are its foundation.”
The ambassador also said the U.S. would press for maritime security, sanctions enforcement, protection of flag state rights, freedom of navigation and updated standards on polar operations, autonomous vessels and cyber risk management.
“The pattern is consistent: China uses its maritime and economic power to coerce, to intimidate and to punish those who assert their sovereign rights,” Stephens said.
The Chinese government has routinely rejected U.S. accusations that its overseas infrastructure investments are coercive, portraying its port, shipping and Belt and Road projects as commercial partnerships that support global trade and development.

Stephens said the U.S. will continue contributing expertise, resources and leadership at the IMO but warned that the rules-based maritime order cannot be taken for granted.
“A free and open ocean is not guaranteed,” he said. “It must be defended.”
