Newtalk新聞 軍事專家王臻明今天（27日）分析，中國解放軍海軍遼寧號（舷號16）航空母艦編隊近日幾乎以「切西瓜」方式，直接穿越菲律賓中部水域，威嚇意圖十分明顯，同時也再次暴露習近平政府對菲律賓外交政策的失敗。 王臻明指出，前兩天菲律賓海軍正式確認遼寧號編隊通過巴西蘭海峽（Basilan Strait），進入西里伯斯海（Celebes Sea）北端後繼續向東航行，進入菲律賓海（Philippine Sea）。由於菲方並未全程監控，從已知資料推測，編隊應是進入南海後先穿過民都洛海峽（Mindoro Strait）進入蘇祿海（Sulu Sea），再抵達巴西蘭海峽與西里伯斯海。從文字敘述難以感受這趟航程的特殊性，但繪製成圖面後可清楚看見，遼寧號幾乎橫切菲律賓群島中心，對菲律賓施壓的意圖昭然若揭。 過去因美菲特殊關係，僅有美國航空母艦編隊會採取類似路線，直接穿越菲律賓中央的蘇祿海。王臻明認為，中國此舉除向菲律賓施壓外，也與正在進行的美日「利劍27」（Keen Sword 27）聯合演習互別苗頭。在軍事層面上，更是在宣誓中國有能力阻擋美國航艦編隊從菲律賓海直接穿越菲律賓進入南海。這可能迫使菲律賓重新檢討目前的陸基反艦飛彈部署，因為中國艦隊已進入菲律賓中心的蘇祿海。 王臻明進一步表示，這又是習近平政府對菲律賓外交政策完全失敗的另一個例證。王臻明認為，經濟攏絡才是最有效的手段，中國近幾年卻放棄手上最有效的王牌，改以軍事恫嚇為主。反觀美國主導呂宋經濟廊道，廣邀各國進行投資。遼寧號「切西瓜」的舉動「適得其反」，只是再次強化菲律賓戰略位置的重要性，反而讓菲律賓與美國的經濟合作更為緊密。延伸閱讀：AUKUS「第一潛艦」確認 美「科羅拉多號」將首駐澳洲應對人口老化挑戰台星大不同 新加坡2029年起法定退休年齡提高至65歲楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險習近平反腐十多年仍難止高層落馬？矢板明夫點出五中全會3大觀察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
