台北——美国海岸警卫队密切关注着近来围绕阿拉斯加与北太平洋地区的中国及俄罗斯海军活动增加的现象。然而，在目前遇到的情况中，对方的表现非常专业。
美国海岸警卫队太平洋区域指挥官安德鲁·J·蒂永森（Vice Admiral Andrew J. Tiongson）在访问日本时通过电话与地区记者交流时表示，俄罗斯与中国之间有一条共同的海域边界线，这条界限位于阿拉斯加及俄罗斯远东区域。他指出：“我们已观察到，俄罗斯海军船舰确实增加了该特定地区的存在感。同时，我们也注意到，中国的中国人民解放军海军以及俄罗斯海军在该区域的合作行动也有所增加。在过去几年中，这些操作一直在进行。”
蒂永森还提到，偶尔有这些船只穿越进入美国的专属经济区（EEZ）。在这种情况下，“我们采取的方式是通过保持对等存在来回应。当他们出海时，我们会确保他们知道我们的存在，并建立通信联系。有时候他们会告诉我们，只是路过并很快离开我们的 EEZ，而其他时候我们则会监视并跟随他们的行动。”他还指出，美国海岸警卫队与美国军方以及加拿大进行了信息交换，但是目前与俄罗斯或中国发生的接触均是专业且符合标准的。
在被问及菲律宾与中国南海冲突情况时，特别是围绕第二托马斯沙洲（South China Sea）的纠纷，蒂永森表示，美国海岸警卫队未收到提供护航菲律宾船只的请求。然而，他们提供了建议和支持，并帮助菲律宾海岸警卫队制定相应的计划。“当我说提供指导和协助时，我们在这种情况下给予菲律宾海岸警卫队和其他需要帮助方的支援是这样的：我们为他们拟定方案提供建议，但不亲自陪同。”

原文摘要：
TAIPEI — The U.S. Coast Guard is watching an “uptick” in Chinese and Russian navy activity around Alaska and the northern Pacific but encounters to date have been very professional, a senior commander said on Friday. Vice Admiral Andrew J. Tiongson, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area Commander, noted on a call with regional reporters while visiting Japan that his country and Russia share a maritime boundary line between Alaska and the Russian Far East. “Russian naval vessels, certainly we’ve seen an uptick in their presence in that particular region. And then what we also see is an uptick in PLAN, the PRC Navy, and the Russian navy working together in that region,” he said, referring to the People’s Republic of China. “And we have been seeing that over this last couple of years. And they are conducting operations,” Tiongson added. Occasionally those ships cross into the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, he said. “So what we do is we meet presence with presence. So when they go out there, we ensure they know that we are there, we establish communications. Sometimes they tell us that they’re just transiting through and they’ll be out of our EEZ very soon, and other times we sit and we watch and shadow them as they go forth.” The U.S. Coast Guard exchanges information with the U.S. military as well as Canada, he said, but added encounters with the Russians or Chinese had all to date been professional. Tiongson also addressed questions about the Philippines and China’s off-on confrontation around Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea, where China’s Coast Guard has been active in the standoff over resupplying a beached Philippine navy ship there. Tiongson said the U.S. Coast Guard had not been asked to provide escort to Philippine vessels, but had been advising and assisting in other ways. “So when I say advise and assist, we provide to the Philippine coast guard and to others is what we would do in this situation. And we assist them in coming up with some of their plans, but we do not accompany.”
