原标题：继澳总理后，新西兰总理表态：新西兰将在我“有生之年”成为共和国【环球网报道 记者 索炎琦】在英女王去世后，一些国家围绕“脱离君主制”“改为共和制”的讨论还在继续。据英国路透社、《每日电讯报》最新消息，新西兰总理阿德恩当地时间周一（12日）被问及相关话题时表示，君主制被抛弃是不可避免的，尽管短期内不会发生，但她相信新西兰将在其“有生之年”成为共和国。 
Amid a new round of Philippine hype over its so-called territorial claims involving China's Huangyan Dao, the US State Department on Saturday, in a statement, smeared China's Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve as "destabilizing" and pledged support for its ally. A Chinese expert said Washington is encouraging Manila to disrupt regional peace while offering little more than hollow verbal assurances, further undermining stability in the South China Sea.
The statement, published on the State Department's official website and attributed to spokesperson Thomas Pigott, claimed that the US "rejects China's ongoing attempts to enforce its destabilizing 'national nature reserve'" at Huangyan Dao.
Pigott also alleged that the reserve would "deny Filipino fishermen access to their traditional fishing ground as reflected in the 2016 Arbitral Award."
It is absurd for the US, a country that is not a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to pass judgment on the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve, Yang Xiao, a research fellow at the Institute of Peaceful Development under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday.
The US has neither jurisdiction in the South China Sea nor the standing to judge regional affairs. Its allegation of the reserve at this time is merely intended to echo the Philippines' latest hype surrounding Huangyan Dao, Yang said.
At a time when the broader China-US relationship is moving toward an easing of tensions, attempts by certain US officials to encourage provocations out of narrow political interests run counter to the overall trend, Yang said.
Pigott further smeared the reserve as "another unilateral attempt by China to use dubious environmental and legal pretexts," which he claimed was intended to advance China's territorial and maritime claims in the South China Sea "at the expense of its neighbors."
"The United States stands with our Ally, the Philippines, in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific," Pigott claimed.
The expert added that the statement also invoked the unlawful and invalid 2016 "South China Sea Arbitral Award" as a pretext, seeking to portray China as a destabilizing force in the region and mislead the international community.
The US statement comes as Manila has sought to advance its claims over Huangyan Dao through various means, including by delimitation of the so-called "baselines of the territorial sea" of the Chinese territory of Huangyan Dao. The Chinese Foreign Ministry on July 31 described the move as "illegal, null and void."
Yang said that amid a broader retrenchment of its global strategy, the US is seeking to encourage countries including Japan and the Philippines to stage regional provocations and disrupt stability. Such tactics include organizing joint military exercises and tolerating provocative actions by Manila in the South China Sea.
However, Washington is no longer capable of offering the Philippines substantive support and can provide little more than rhetorical backing, Yang said. Such statements amount to words on paper and have no practical effect, he added.
China's State Council approved the establishment of the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve in September 2025. China has since conducted multiple scientific surveys in the area.
On August 1, China issued management measures for the reserve, prohibiting unauthorized fishing and mining, the harvesting or excavation of corals, coral reefs and giant clams, as well as other activities that damage rare marine species or the reserve's natural ecosystems.
China has also discovered a globally rare coral reef growth structure-type marine blue hole at Huangyan Dao. Preliminary geochronological analyses suggest that the blue hole formed at least 3,200 years ago, while surveys have found rich biodiversity in its surrounding waters. The finding is considered further evidence of the effectiveness and necessity of China's ecological protection measures at Huangyan Dao.

二 | 这是一场重大的辩论。不要认为它会或者应该很快发生。”“（但）我确实相信这（共和制）是新西兰未来的发展方向。我相信这会在我有生之年发生，但我不认为这是一项短期（可实现的）措施，也不是在短期内提上日程的事情，”阿德恩说。路透社介绍，同澳大利亚、加拿大一样，新西兰是15个英联邦国家之一，英国君主是其国家元首。而在新西兰是否应该成为共和国、选举本国公民作为国家元首的问题上，该国争论过一段时间。当地时间9月8日，白金汉宫证实，英国女王伊丽莎白二世当天在苏格兰巴尔莫勒尔堡去世，终年96岁，其长子查尔斯三世继承王位。英国登基委员会10日正式宣告查尔斯三世为英国君主。英女王去世后，关于“脱离君主制”“改为共和制”的讨论在一些英联邦国家逐渐兴起。
三 | 据英国天空新闻网等媒体消息，澳大利亚总理阿尔巴内塞11日曾谈及该话题，他表示澳大利亚不会在他的第一任期内进行“共和制公投”。
四 | 不过，天空新闻网提到，阿尔巴内塞此前曾表态，称澳大利亚需要一个自己的国家元首。值得注意的是，“脱离君主制”近期并非没有先例。就在去年11月，东加勒比海岛国巴巴多斯正式脱离英联邦成为共和国，此前担任巴总督的桑德拉•梅森宣誓就任该国首任总统，取代英国女王伊丽莎白二世成为该国国家元首。返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
