Deputy U.S. National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes participates in the Washington Ideas Forum in Washington, Sept. 30, 2015. On Monday, Rhodes said the U.S. will conduct more activities in the South China Sea to maintain "freedom of navigation." Reuters
The U.S. Navy plans to make at least two trips per quarter close to parts of the South China Sea that China claims as its own, to "remind" China the U.S. believes there should be freedom of navigation there,Reuters reported, citing an unidentified U.S. defense official. The statement comes a week after the USS Lassen made such a trip, the first since 2012, drawing a protest from China.
"That's the right amount to make it regular but not a constant poke in the eye," Reuters reported the unidentified official as saying on Monday. "It meets the intent to regularly exercise our rights under international law and remind the Chinese and others about our view."
Tuần tra 2 lần mỗi 3 tháng trên vùng biển mà Trung cộng ngang nhiên chiếm đóng cũng có tính cách thuòng xuyên nhưng không như là hành động chọc vào mắt Trung cộng. Sự tuần tra này đáp ứng đúng mục tiêu của Hoa kỳ là hành xử quyền của Hoa kỳ theo luật hàng hải quốc tế cũng như nhắc nhở Trung cộng và các nước khác về lập truòng của Hoa kỳ.
There will be more trips like the Lassen's, Reuters reported U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes as saying at an event on Monday. He didn't specify how many trips or how often they would occur.
"That's our interest there ... It's to demonstrate that we will uphold the principle of freedom of navigation," Reuters reported Rhodes as saying.
The U.S. said the Lassen's trip was part of the so-called Freedom of Navigation Operations, or FONOPs, it conducts around the world.

Hoa kỳ đã nói rằng chuyến tuần tra của chiến hạm USS Lassen là một phần của "Chiến dịch Tư Do Hải Hành" hay FONOPS, mà Hoa kỳ đang tiến hành khắp nơi trên thế giới.
On Monday, Malaysia expressed concern that the situation could "spiral to something bigger," the same day South Korea said the sea lanes should be kept open. Last week, Indonesian President Joko Widodocalled for restraint.
Tensions have heightened since China asserted its claims over most of the South China Sea, including stepping up island-building "reclamation" activities and constructing airstrips and other facilities in disputed areas in the past year. Days after the Lassen's trip last week, an international arbitration court said it had jurisdiction to rule over a dispute between China and the Philippines, which China rejects.
