Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy electronic surveillance ship Beijixing (pennant number 851). A ship of this class is currently off the coast of Oahu, monitoring RIMPAC 2014

中國解放軍海軍電子偵察船北極星號（舷號851），該船目前在瓦胡島的沿岸，監測2014環太軍演。

“The U.S. Pacific Fleet has been monitoring a Chinese navy surveillance ship operating in the vicinity of Hawaii outside U.S. territorial seas,”

Capt. Darryn James, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet, told USNI News late Friday.

“美國海軍太平洋艦隊已經監測到一艘中國海軍偵察船在夏威夷美國領海以外的附近海域作業，”

美國太平洋艦隊發言人Darryn James上尉周五晚上告訴USNI新聞網。

“We expect this ship will remain outside of U.S. territorial seas and not operate in a manner that disrupts the ongoing Rim of the Pacific maritime exercise.”

我們預計這艘將保持在美國領海以外，以不擾亂正在進行的環太演習的方式開展行動。

James said the ship was not part of the exercise and would not speculate on the ship’s purpose but said that it appeared in the vicinity of Hawaii about a week ago.

James上尉說，該船的出現不是演習的一部分，他不願推測該船的動機。

“Any questions about the ship’s intent or capabilities will need to be addressed by the People’s Liberation Army Navy,” he said.

“任何關於該船的意圖或能力問題，都需要中國人民解放軍海軍做出解釋“ 他說。

The Dongdiao-class off Hawaii is operating inside the U.S. EEZ but not in territorial waters, James said

該東調級偵查船（指北極星號）在夏威夷的美國專屬經濟區內行動，但未進入美國領海。James上尉說

“The Chinese Navy AGI ship’s presence is in accordance with international law regarding freedom of navigation,” he said.

“目前，這艘中國海軍的電子偵查船的行為是符合有關航行自由的國際法的，”他說。

The revelation of the spy ship near the exercise has caused at least one member of Congress to say the U.S. shouldn’t invite China back for RIMPAC 2016.

間諜船在演習附近出現，已經造成至少一名美國國會議員說美國不應該再邀請中國參加下次2016環太軍演！

“Now we learn they chose to disrespect the 20 other international participants by sailing an intelligence gathering ship directly into the middle of the exercise. It is clear China is not ready to be a responsible partner and that their first trip to RIMPAC should probably be their last.”

“現在，我們知道，他們選擇了以不尊重20個其他參演國的方式用一艘偵查船強插演習過程。很顯然，中國還沒有準備好做一個負責任的合作夥伴，這次環太軍演應該是他們第一次也是最後一次參加。”
