【原文】 Reports: China sending ships to fight pirates in Africa
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- China plans to send a fleet of ships to help patrol the pirate-infested waters off the Horn of Africa, Chinese media reported Thursday.
The move would be rare for Beijing, which has not sent military ships far from its shores in centuries.
But China, along with other countries, has seen its commercial ships repeatedly falling prey to pirate attacks that have ramped up dramatically in recent months.
The news comes a day after the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution allowing members of an international coalition force to pursue pirates onto land. China is the only permanent member of the council that has yet to commit forces to the effort.
Thursday's media reports offered few details about the size or nature of the fleet that China would deploy. They said the fleet would leave the South China Sea for an operation lasting three months.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei said Tuesday that Beijing "is seriously considering sending naval ships to the Gulf of Aden and waters off the Somali coast for escorting operations in the near future," according to state news agency, Xinhua.
Nearly 100 vessels have come under pirate attack in the waters off of Somalia this year, according to the International Maritime Bureau, and 40 of them have been successfully hijacked.
On Wednesday, the crew of a Chinese ship in the Gulf of Aden fought with pirates for four hours -- using fire hydrants and firebombs to keep them at bay -- until coalition helicopters and warships helped repel the attackers, Xinhua reported.
State media has also reported that a Chinese fishing vessel and its crew have been held by pirates in the region since last month.
China's navy is considered a "brown-water fleet" -- designed to operate almost exclusively along its coast. But the country has reportedly been working to rapidly modernize its fleet for the past several years 中国出兵非洲打击海盗
中国北京消息，中国媒体周三报道，中国计划向遍布海盗的非洲之角派遣一支舰队，以帮助打击海盗。这种举动对于北京是少见的，中国几个世纪以来从来没有向海外派遣过军舰。
但是，中国和其他国家一样，在最近几个月里她的商船频频被海盗劫掠。
在联合国安理会通过一项关于允许一个多国联盟在陆地上打击海盗的决议之后，中国方面宣布了这一消息。中国是五大常任理事国中唯一一个没有致力于这项努力的国家。
周四的媒体报道中，没有提到太多关于中国将要派遣的舰队的规模和类型的细节。
据国家通讯社新华社的消息，中国外交部副部长何亚非周二表示，北京正在慎重考虑在不久的将来向亚丁湾和索马里海域派遣护卫舰队。
据国际海事局的消息，在今年大约有100艘轮船在索马里海域遭受海盗的袭击，其中有40艘被劫持。
新华社报道，周三，在亚丁湾的中国一艘商船的全体船员和海盗们战斗了四个小时——船员们使用消防栓和火焰炸弹把海盗们阻止在甲板上——直到救援的军舰和直升机将海盗击退。
新华社也报道了，中国一艘渔船和全体船员在上个月被海盗劫持。
中国的海军被认为是“褐水舰队”——只是在近海执行防御任务。但是据说，在过去几年，这个国家正在加速现代化她的海军舰队。
