中国人民解放军在本周三进行了洲际弹道导弹试射，这标志着几十年来中国的首次公开此类发射。据官方声明所述，该洲际弹道导弹搭载了一个“模拟战斗头”，于上午8点44分被发射至“公海”地区，并按照预定计划在指定海域坠落。中国中央电视台的报道指出，此次试射是自1980年以来的首次。
声明中表示：“这一试射是我们年度训练计划中的常规安排。”并称其符合国际法及惯例，“并不针对任何国家或目标”。
据新华社报道，有关国家已事先被告知了该试射信息。然而，在发射过程中，日本政府并未收到预先通知。东京下午召开的新闻发布会上，日本首席内阁秘书Hayashi Yoshimasa 表示：“我们没有得到任何预通知，并且综合分析后确认导弹飞越了我们的领空，但未记录到损害情况。”
过去一年来，中国人民解放军火箭部队曾因高层将领在武器采购腐败指控下被罢免而受到国内关注。对此，国际社会普遍将这次试射视为军队准备性的信号，在一系列高级官员的清除之后仍保持着其军事能力。
此次导弹发射正值北京筹划庆祝中华人民共和国成立75周年的前夕，同时联合国大会也在纽约召开，美国总统乔·拜登在此期间提出了他与日本和韩国建立强盛三边关系的努力，并将其作为抗衡中国地区影响力的一部分策略。
拜登在讲话中强调：“这些伙伴关系并非针对任何国家。”“它们是构建一个自由、开放、安全、和平的印太地区的基石。”
此前四月，美国宣布在菲律宾部署了中程导弹。Hayimasa 于周三补充说，中国的国防预算正在迅速增加，“没有任何明显的迹象”，并指出中国正在其邻近领土上扩大存在，缺乏对其动向的透明度。
“这对中国和国际社会而言是一个严重关切。”Yoshimasa 如此说道。

原文地址：China test-fires ICBM with ‘dummy’ warhead, after Biden touts US relationship with Japan, South Korea

原文摘要：
The Chinese military test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the Pacific on Wednesday, marking its first known launch of an ICBM in decades, officials said. The People's Liberation Army launched the ICBM carrying a "dummy warhead" into the "high seas" at about 8:44 in the morning, the Chinese Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The missile splashed down into the area where they had planned for it to fall, the ministry said. Local media reported that the launch was the first such test since 1980. "This test launch is a routine arrangement in our annual training plan," the ministry said. "It is in line with international law and international practice and is not directed against any country or target." China's official Xinhua news agency said "relevant countries" had been notified in advance. But Japanese officials weren't notified prior to the launch, the country's chief cabinet secretary told reporters on Wednesday afternoon in Tokyo. "There was no notification beforehand and, according to the comprehensive analysis, we have been confirmed that it flew over our territory and there was no damage recorded," Hayashi Yoshimasa said, according to an official translation. The Chinese military's Rocket Force has been under some domestic scrutiny over the past year, after some top generals were purged last summer over alleged corruption related to equipment procurement. The test-firing may be viewed internationally as a signal of the military's readiness, despite those purges, which saw two former defense ministers expelled from the Communist Party. The test launch comes days before Beijing is set to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the PRC on Oct. 1. The test-fire also comes as the U.N. General Assembly meets in New York, where U.S. President Joe Biden spoke on Tuesday of his efforts to build a strong trilateral relationship with Japan and South Korea. Those relationships have been part of Biden's strategy to counter China's influence in the region. "These partnerships are not against any nation," Biden said on Tuesday. "They're building blocks for a free, open, secure, peaceful Indo-Pacific." The United States in April said it had deployed mid-range missiles to Philippines. And Yoshimasa of Japan said on Wednesday that China's defense budget had been increasing rapidly “without any visibility,” adding that China has been expanding their presence near Japanese territory "with a lack of transparency" about their movement. “This is a very serious concern for Japan and the international society,” Yoshimasa said.
