美国海岸警卫队周二通报称，在周六，他们观察到了两艘俄罗斯舰艇与四艘中国船只在贝林海峡组成阵型航行的情景。这显示出北京和莫斯科在北极地区合作日益增强的迹象。
该通报还指出，这两艘中国及俄罗斯的海岸警卫队舰艇位置处于距离俄罗斯专属经济区约5海里的北方边界，这是美国海岸警卫队所监控到的最北端有中国船只活动的地方。而贝林海峡则将俄罗斯与阿拉斯加州相隔开。
“此类近期活动揭示了我们的战略竞争对手对北极地区日益增长的兴趣”，美国海岸警卫队第17区指挥官梅根·迪恩上校在声明中说。
此前，于今年7月，中俄轰炸机首次在同一国际空域进行了联合飞行，并且是在阿拉斯加海岸附近。这次飞行虽然不被视为威胁，但却是中国轰炸机首次进入阿拉斯加州防空识别区域和中俄飞机首次从北俄同一基地起飞的历史性时刻。
对于中俄两国海岸警卫队的此次联合巡逻行动，中国政府表示是为了进行渔业船只监管、维护北太平洋水域秩序，并遵循联合国及国际公约的规定。通报提到，该次活动包含了对非法船只的搜寻与救援演练，并称此举显示了“高度的协调性和合作效率”。
这一关系紧密的中俄军事交往引发了华盛顿的关注，美国一直对中国在支持莫斯科对乌克兰战争中所持立场表示批评。

原文摘要：
The U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday that it spotted two Russian ships and two Chinese vessels passing through the Bering Sea in formation on Saturday, in a sign of the growing cooperation between Beijing and Moscow in the Arctic. The Chinese and Russian coast guard ships were spotted about five miles inside the Russian exclusive economic zone in the northernmost location where Chinese vessels have been seen by the U.S. Coast Guard, it said. The Bering Sea separates Russia from Alaska. “This recent activity demonstrates the increased interest in the Arctic by our strategic competitors,” Rear Adm. Megan Dean, commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, said in a statement. In July, Russian and Chinese bombers flew together for the first time in international airspace off the coast of Alaska. The flights were not seen as a threat, but it was the first time that Chinese bombers had flown within the Alaskan air defense identification zone and the first time Chinese and Russian aircraft had taken off from the same base in northern Russia. The Chinese coast guard said in a statement that the joint patrol with Russia, which followed a joint drill, was to check fishing boats to maintain order in the North Pacific Ocean, in accordance with a U.N. and international convention. It said the vessels carried out exercises on search and rescue of illegal boats that showed “high efficiency in coordination and cooperation." The close relationship between the Chinese and Russian militaries has been a concern in Washington, which has criticized Beijing for supporting Moscow's war in Ukraine.
