according to the wechat public account "china coast guard" on the 29th, a chinese and russian coast guard fleet recently performed joint exercises and patrols on the high seas of the north pacific. in the face of china's recent activities in the north pacific, the us media claimed that "china has increased its presence on the doorstep of the united states", and the us coast guard also stated that "it will use its presence to counter its presence." experts interviewed by the global times believed that western media distorted and interpreted the normal patrol and law enforcement activities of the chinese coast guard in order to exaggerate the "china threat theory."

"china coast guard" news shows that the fleet inspects operating vessels in accordance with the law and actively maintains the order of fishery production in the high seas of the north pacific. during this period, the formation also conducted exercises such as joint search and rescue, joint damage control and rescue, and joint search for illegal vessels, demonstrating the efficient coordination capabilities of both parties. official news shows that the china-russia coast guard fleet consists of the chinese coast guard ships meishan and xiushan and the russian coast guard patrol ships "petropaplovsk-kamchatsky" and "kamchatka". this is the first time that the chinese and russian coast guards have jointly patrolled in the north pacific.

china’s actions in the north pacific have received close attention from the us media. the us "newsweek" said on the 27th: "china has increased its presence on the doorstep of the united states." one of the "evidences" mentioned in the report is that the chinese coast guard carries out fishery law enforcement patrols in the high seas of the north pacific, which is connected to the coast of alaska in the united states. . "newsweek" said that based on data provided by the global fisheries watch website and tracking the patrols of chinese coast guard ships in the north pacific since 2022, it found that "chinese coast guard ships patrol the western north pacific waters most of the time. last year, china the coast guard ship approached the waters southwest of the aleutian islands." the u.s. coast guard told newsweek that chinese coast guard ships regularly patrol the arctic region, the bering sea and other areas, and "when strategic competitors operate in and around u.s. waters, the coast guard will respond in the same way."

newsweek quoted chinese media reports as saying that china has been deploying coast guard ships since the convention on the conservation and management of fishery resources on the high seas in the north pacific came into effect in 2015. the convention applies to areas beyond national jurisdiction in the region and aims to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of fishery resources.

"chinese coast guard ships continue to patrol. at the same time, beijing has strengthened its presence in the north pacific, deploying warships and bombers including near alaska's aleutian islands and the bering sea, sometimes conducting joint patrols with russia." "newsweek" said.

on the 27th, reuters quoted tyson, commander of the u.s. coast guard pacific region, as saying: "the u.s. coast guard is paying attention to the increased activities of the chinese and russian navies around alaska and the north pacific." "what we do is to use existence to counter existence. wherever they appear, we must let them know that we are there. sometimes they notify us: they are just passing by and we will soon leave our exclusive economic zone." sen also said that the u.s. coast guard exchanges information with the u.s. military and canada and that "contacts with russia or china so far have been professional."

"newsweek" quoted expert analysis as saying that the china coast guard has registered operations in multiple fishing areas in the northern, central and western pacific ocean, "which may cause concerns in other countries" because china has the right to board foreign fishing vessels on the high seas. .

zhuo hua, an expert on international issues at the school of international relations at beijing foreign studies university, said in an interview with a reporter from the global times on the 29th that the us media has obviously also noticed that the patrol and law enforcement activities of the china coast guard on the high seas are legally consistent with international law and are in practice. conducted within the framework of multilateral mechanisms, law enforcement operations comply with international norms and rules. this activity has been carried out for many years and there has been substantial cooperation with the united states. us media said that in 2016, the chinese coast guard and the us coast guard jointly deployed ships to combat illegal fishing activities in the north pacific.

"even so, western media still deliberately use 'filters' to try to distort and interpret the normal civilian patrol and law enforcement activities of the china coast guard, and induce the public opinion audience to associate china with the military threat to the united states." zhuo hua believes that the so-called "worry" is a mistake the security "empathy" is based on the experience of the united states. in fact, the china coast guard carries out joint patrols and law enforcement with other countries under multilateral mechanisms, which is a manifestation of china's fulfillment of its international responsibilities as a major power in providing security in international public areas. joint patrols help to actually improve the ability of joint law enforcement and coordinated actions.
