美国国防部称赞中国在太平洋实施洲际弹道导弹发射前采取透明措施的做法，这表明中美两国军事沟通正逐渐改善。
Pentagon发言人桑布拉·辛格（Sabrina Singh）表示，他们确实接到了关于这次洲际弹道导弹测试的高级通知。“我们认为这是一个积极的举措”，“这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，有助于防止任何误解或误判。”
中国此举被形容为一个体现“常识”和增强“信任度”的措施，“我们希望这种类型的通告能够继续下去。”她补充道。
军方之间的交流标志着与近年截然不同的转变。此前，北京几乎完全切断了此类联系，这是在2022年时任美国众议院议长访问台湾之后发生的。解放军随后针对这个人口2200万、最终宣称将纳入中国的民主国家展开了大规模军事演习。
中美双方正努力重建两军间的沟通渠道。就在本月早些时候，在佩洛西访台后，中国和美国的军事指挥官在南海进行了合作对话。在此之前，国家安全顾问克里斯托弗·伯恩斯坦（Christopher B. Browne）访问了北京，并与中国中央军事委员会副主席杨国良进行了罕见的会谈。
中国国防部发言人张小刚在周三的例行新闻发布会上表示：“目前两国军方的关系展现出更加稳定的态势。”
他列举了几种促进相互理解、避免误解并管理风险的沟通渠道。“这些联系有助于增进互信，避免误判，并管控潜在的风险。”张小刚强调。
中美两国军舰与解放军火箭军在争议水域进行着频繁接触。中国已通知美国关于本周早些时候在太平洋发射的罕见洲际弹道导弹事件。日本方面表示未收到任何提前警告，称这次军事活动构成“重大关切”。日本海岸警卫队提到，在发射前收到了有关可能产生的太空碎片的通知。
台湾当局表示并未接到任何相关通知，处理涉华事务的政府部门在台北指出，该行为“严重威胁地区安全”。
美国一直对中国的核威胁感到担忧。美国五角大楼去年报告称，中国现有大约500枚运载核武器的导弹，并计划到2030年增加至1000多枚。这与中国国家主席习近平提出的到2049年实现“世界一流的军队”目标相匹配。
中国火箭军拥有约350枚洲际弹道导弹，这些武器具有超过5,500公里（约3,420英里）的射程。

原文摘要：
The Pentagon praised China for its transparency before the of an intercontinental ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean, in a sign that military communication between the superpowers is improving.“We did receive some advanced notification of this ICBM test and we believe that that was a good thing,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said on Wednesday. “It’s a step in the right direction and it does lead to preventing any misperception or miscalculation.”She added that the US has pressed China for more regular notifications of ballistic missile and space launches.China’s move “represents a common sense, confidence-building measure,” Singh said. “So we want to see these types of notifications continue.”The communication between the militaries marks a turnaround from recent years, when China all but shut off such links after then-House Speaker visited Taiwan in 2022. The People’s Liberation Army responded to that trip with large-scale military drills around the democratic nation of 22 million people, which Beijing has pledged to bring under its control eventually.The US and China have been restoring communication links between their armed forces. Earlier this month, Chinese and American military commanders overseeing operations in the South China Sea since Pelosi’s visit. That came shortly after National Security Adviser visited Beijing and held rare talks with General of China’s Central Military Commission.Military ties between the two nations were enjoying “stabler momentum” now, Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang said Thursday at a regular press briefing in Beijing.He listed several types of communication links that “help enhance mutual understanding, avoid miscalculation, and manage and control risks.”Read More: The militaries of China and those of the US and its allies come into close contact in the body of water over which Beijing makes vast claims.While China notified the US of the rare ICBM test into the Pacific on Wednesday, Japan has said it received no prior notice, calling the military activity a “serious concern.” The Japanese Coast Guard did say that it received a warning from China before the launch about potential space debris.Taiwan said it wasn’t notified, with the government department in Taipei that handles matters related to China saying that the behavior “seriously endangers regional security.”China’s nuclear threat has been a pressing worry of the US. The Pentagon said last year that Beijing had about 500 operational warheads and was looking to increase that to more than 1,000 by 2030 as part of Xi’s push to achieve a “world class” military by 2049.The Asian nation’s Rocket Force has some 350 ICBMs, which are weapons with a range of more than 5,500 kilometers (3,420 miles), it added.
