中国正在帮助培训所罗门群岛警察使用水炮，这是持续进行的安全伙伴关系的一部分，该伙伴关系受到西方的怀疑。
China is helping to train Solomon Islands police to use water cannons as part of an ongoing security partnership that is viewed with scepticism by the West.
中国大使馆周二表示，所罗门群岛皇家警察部队的六名警官参加了为期一周的培训演练，但未给出具体日期。
The Chinese embassy said on Tuesday that six officers from the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force took part in a week-long training exercise, without giving dates.
大使馆称，该项目帮助警官熟悉防暴车辆的使用以及可能使用这些车辆的不同场景。
The programme helped familiarise officers with the use of crowd control vehicles and different scenarios in which they may be used, the embassy said.
大使馆补充说，该项目培养了一支核心的熟练水炮操作员储备力量，“有效提升了他们的应急响应和防暴能力，为维护所罗门群岛的社会安全和稳定提供了有力的装备保障”。所罗门群岛于2019年将外交承认对象从台北转为北京。
The programme cultivated a core reserve of skilled water cannon operators and “effectively enhanced their emergency response and riot control capabilities, providing robust equipment support to safeguard the social security and stability of the Solomon Islands”, the embassy added. Solomon Islands switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 2019.
中国与这个太平洋岛国于2022年签署了一项安全协议，此前一年，首都霍尼亚拉发生大规模骚乱，导致数百名中国公民流离失所。

The partnership has raised concerns in Australia and the United States that Beijing could eventually establish a military presence in the region, a claim Beijing has rejected.

今年1月，这一合作扩展到海上执法领域，中国向当地警方捐赠了两艘快艇，用于巡逻和救援行动。
That expanded into maritime policing in January this year when China donated two speedboats to the local police for patrol and rescue operations.
这一消息发布之际，所罗门群岛新政府正寻求重新平衡其安全伙伴关系。
The announcement came as the new Solomon Islands government is looking to rebalance its security partnerships.
总理马修·瓦莱于5月上任，他在6月宣布政府将审查2022年与中国签署的安全协议，以及与其他国家签署的类似协议。
