10月,根据太平洋岛屿安全中心的资料,五艘中国研究船,包括元光7号空间和导弹跟踪船,在基里巴斯附近的西北太平洋和关岛以东作业。 In October, five Chinese research vessels, including the Yuanwang 7 space and missile tracking ship, operated in the northwest Pacific near Kiribati and east of Guam, according to the Pacific Center for Island Security. 这一活动与水下测绘和监视有关,恰逢有澳大利亚、日本、印度和南朝鲜等盟国参与的美国九次多边军事演习。 The activity, linked to underwater mapping and surveillance, coincided with nine U.S. multilateral military exercises involving allies like Australia, Japan, India, and South Korea. 该中心警告说,中国和美国扩大海军和基础设施活动会增加太平洋岛屿国家的风险,而由于现代军事技术,太平洋岛屿国家可能成为攻击目标。 The center warns that expanded naval and infrastructure activities by both China and the U.S. increase risks for Pacific island nations, which could become targets due to modern military technology. 该监测项目由私人捐助者供资。 The monitoring project is funded by private donors. 中国外交部和基里巴斯未发表评论。 China’s foreign ministry and Kiribati did not comment.
