Senior U.S. officials were non-committal Thursday—both in New York and the Pentagon—on the issue of whether Washington's defense treaty with Tokyo formally obligates the U.S. to defend Japanese claims to an island chain in the East China Sea, known as the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.

Rather, the White House and State Department sought to cast the U.S. as neutral in the escalating dispute, pushing the two sides to resolve their differences diplomatically without direct U.S. mediation.

"We don't take a position on the sovereignty of the Senkakus," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Thursday morning, following a meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Japanese counterpart, Seiji Maehara. "So we understand that there can be room here for different interpretations of what happened."

周四美国政府官员--无论是在纽约或在五角大楼--对华盛顿与东京的安保协定是否使其有义务支持日本对一位于东海(East China Sea)的岛链的领土主张不予肯定(non-committal)。日本称之为Senkaku岛,而在中国名为钓鱼(Diaoyu)岛。

白宫与国务院试图在这一中日之间日益激烈的争论中让美国保持中立的形象,敦促双方通过外交手段在没有美国介入的情况下解决这一争端。

国务院发言人P.J. Crowley在周四上午国务卿希拉里.克林顿会见过对应的日本官员前原诚司(Seiji Maehara)后说:“我们在Senkakus的归属问题上没有立场。所以我们理解对于已经发生的事情有不同的解释空间“。
