Efforts by south-east Asian leaders to agree a united front in their disputes with China have collapsed for a second consecutive summit, highlighting an increasingly assertive stance by Beijing.

东南亚各国领导人建立统一战线解决它们与中国纠纷的努力，在连续第二场峰会上无果而终，这突显出北京方面日趋强硬的姿态。

Benigno Aquino, the president of the Philippines, dismissed a statement by Cambodia, the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and an important China ally, which said the bloc had agreed not to raise the South China Sea disputes in international forums.

菲律宾总统贝尼尼奥·阿基诺(Benigno Aquino)对东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)轮值主席国、中国重要盟友柬埔寨的一项声明不以为然。那份声明称，东盟已同意不在国际论坛上提出南中国海纠纷问题。

“There were several views expressed yesterday on Asean unity which we did not realise would be translated into an Asean consensus, Mr Aquino said at a meeting between Japanese and Asean leaders in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, on Monday. “For the record, this was not our understanding. The Asean route is not the only route for us. As a sovereign state, it is our right to defend our national interests.

“各方昨日在东盟团结问题上表达了几种观点，我方没有意识到，这些变成了东盟的一个共识。阿基诺周一在日本领导人同东盟领导人在柬埔寨首都金边举行的会议上表示，“我郑重声明，那不是我方的理解。东盟途径并不是我国唯一能走的途径。作为一个主权国家，我们有权捍卫自己的国家利益。
