导读:南海局势紧张，争端国家的“海权”碰撞箭在弦上，中国计划实现游轮通航。
China will offer its first regular civilian cruises to the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea by 2020, state media said on Wednesday, a move likely to irk other claimants to the disputed waters.
国家新闻媒体本周三报道，中国将在2020年前提供常态化民用游轮通航至中国 南海的南沙群岛。而此举很可能激化与其他国家在争议海域的矛盾。
China’s activities in the contested area, such as building artificial islands, airfields and other military facilities, have fueled tension in Southeast Asia, although it says most of the construction is for civilian purposes.
尽管中国称在南海大部分建设是出于民用目的，但其在争议海域修建人工岛屿，机场和其他军用设施等活动行为激化了东南亚的紧张局势，
The island province of Hainan will operate regular trips to the Spratlys, which China calls the Nansha Islands, in response to increasing demand, the official China Daily newspaper said, citing provincial authorities.
中国日报根据海南省官方报道，海南岛针对日益增加的需求将开启定期海上航班到南沙群岛。
The trips will begin before 2020, the paper said.
文章指出，这一航线将在2020年前开通。
The plans are also likely to irritate the United States and its regional allies, which have voiced concern over China’s assertiveness in the busy waterway, where rival claimants have encouraged a civilian presence on disputed islands.
此计划也可能激怒美国及其地方同盟国，他们表示关注着中国的在此交通频繁的航道的领域判断，与此同时争端国家在鼓励平民上岛。
Asked if the cruises might exacerbate tension, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said she did not know any details, but it was normal for Hainan to develop its tourism industry in Chinese territory.
外交部发言人华春莹被问到游轮旅游可能加剧紧张形势时表示她不知道任何细节，但海南在中国境内发展旅游业很正常。
"There’s no need to read to much into it," she told a daily news briefing.

China claims 90 percent of the potentially energy-rich South China Sea. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan lay claim to parts of the sea, through which ships carrying about $5 trillion of trade pass every year.

Since 2013, China has run cruises to the Paracels, known as the Xisha Islands in Chinese. China has controlled the Paracels, which are nearer its coast than the Spratlys, since the 1970s.
