A large airborne military exercise is underway in China's central and eastern provinces and seas.
中国在中部、东部省份以及海上展开空中军事演习。
China has announced a number of military exercises in recent weeks
中国宣称将在最近几周内开展若干军事演习。
Fighter jets, spy planes and helicopters, along with 12,000 soldiers, are taking part in the drill.
战斗机、侦察机和直升机，以及12000名士兵参加演习。
It is one of several announced in official media in recent weeks.
官方媒体表示将会在最近几周进行一系列演习，这次的空中军演只是其中之一。
The exercise follows verbal sparring between the US and China over conflicting territorial claims by China and many South East Asian nations in the South China Sea.
中国和许多东南亚国家都声称对南中国海有争议的领土拥有主权。这次演习就是因为美中两国在这一事件中有分歧的结果。
It also comes after China protested against major US-South Korea military exercises last month in the Sea of Japan.
在这之前，中国对在日本海举行的美韩军演提出抗议。
（中国之前对美韩军演提出抗议是基于美韩军演在中国的黄海举行，并未就在日本海举行的美韩军演提出抗议。---译者注）
Military message
军事信息
China's five-day exercise, called Vanguard 2010, is taking place over the central province of Henan and the eastern coastal province of Shandong, which borders the Yellow Sea, China's state news agency Xinhua reported.
据中国国家媒体新华社报道，中国为期5天的演习代号为“前卫2010”，在中部的河南省和东部的毗邻黄海的山东省举行。
The Chinese army-run Military Weekly newspaper said the exercises, though "low-key", carried a message.
中国解放军的《解放军报》表示这次演习虽然“低调”，但传达了一个信息。
"If other people threaten our interests, we have enough military means and technological methods to keep them in check," the newspaper said.
报道称：“如果有任何人胆敢威胁我们的利益，我们将用充足的军事手段和技术方法对其进行打压。”
That message follows several weeks of diplomatic jousting over the South China Sea, and over North Korea.
之所以传递这样的信息，是因为几周前在南中国海的外交争端，以及朝鲜问题。
At a meeting of foreign ministers hosted by the Association of South East Asian Nations in Hanoi, Vietnam, in July, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said a peaceful resolution of overlapping territorial claims in the South China Sea was a "national interest" of the US.
7月份在越南河内举行的东盟地区论坛外长会议上，美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿表示，以和平方式解决南中国海的领土争端符合美国的‘国家利益’。
"The US supports a collaborative diplomatic process by all claimants for resolving the various territorial disputes without coercion," she said. "We oppose the use or threat of force by any claimant."
她表示：“美国支持所有声称对这一区域拥有主权的国家以一个合作的没有强迫的外交进程解决争端，我们反对任何国家使用或威胁使用武力。”
This runs counter to China's re-stated "indisputable" claim to the entire South China Sea, and its desire to reach bilateral deals with each South East Asian claimant, rather than a multilateral agreement.
这和中国一再强调的对整个南中国海拥有“无可争议”的主权产生了分歧，而且中国希望早日与东南亚各国进行双边会谈，而不是多边协商。
（中国只声称对80%的南海拥有主权，而不是整个南海。---译者注）
Mrs Clinton's comments backed a recent letter from Indonesia to the United Nations which called for a resolution of the region's territorial disputes to be settled according to the Law of the Sea.
克林顿夫人的意见由一封印尼写给联合国的信作为依据，这封信呼吁按照《海洋法》解决该地区的领土争端。
China was also angry at US-South Korean military drills in late July which the US described as a show of strength to North Korea.
中国也对7月末的美韩军演表示愤怒，这次军演的目的是向朝鲜展示武力。
China, a close ally of Pyongyang, said the exercises - initially planned for the Yellow Sea - were a threat to regional security.
朝鲜亲密盟友中国表示：这次演习最初计划在黄海举行，这对地区安全局势构成威胁。
