中国核潜艇在南太平洋试射战略弹道导弹引发周边国家抗议China Submarine Test-Launches Strategic Ballistic Missile in South Pacific

2026年7月6日中午12点01分，中国人民解放军海军的一艘核动力潜艇向太平洋公海海域发射了一枚远程战略弹道导弹。根据中国官方媒体新华社的报道，该导弹搭载了一枚模拟弹头，并精准落入了预定的公海海域。尽管中方并未公开此次测试的具体导弹型号，但这一行动立即引发了周边国家的广泛关注与抗议。

At 12:01 p.m. on Monday, July 6, 2026, a nuclear-powered submarine of the People's Liberation Army Navy launched a long-range strategic ballistic missile toward the high seas of the Pacific Ocean. According to reports from the official Xinhua News Agency, the missile carried a dummy warhead and landed precisely within its designated target waters. While Chinese authorities did not disclose the specific type of ballistic missile used in the operation, the launch immediately drew protests and concerns from neighboring countries in the region.

此次试射被视为一次极为罕见的军事行动。在此之前，中国最近一次在太平洋进行类似的导弹试射是在两年前，当时发射的是一枚搭载模拟弹头的洲际弹道导弹。而那次在国际水域进行的试射，也是自1980年以来中国数十年来首次在太平洋进行的洲际弹道导弹测试。此次由核动力潜艇在南太平洋进行的发射，再次展示了中国海军远程战略打击能力的最新动态。

This test-launch represents a highly unusual military operation for Beijing. China last conducted a missile test in the Pacific Ocean two years prior, when it fired an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a dummy warhead. That previous launch in international waters was China's first such test in the Pacific in decades, dating back to 1980. The latest launch from a nuclear-powered submarine in the South Pacific highlights China's ongoing strategic naval activities.

中国官方对此次试射的性质进行了明确界定。中国海军发言人王学盟大校在一份声明中表示，此次战略导弹试射属于中国海军年度军事训练计划内的例行安排。中国外交部和国防部也重申了这一立场，强调该军事行动完全符合国际法和国际惯例，其设计不针对任何特定的国家或具体目标。新华社随后转播了相关声明，以向外界表明此次测试的常规性。

Chinese authorities have explicitly defined the nature of the missile test. Senior Capt. Wang Xuemeng, a spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army Navy, stated in a press release that the strategic missile launch was a routine part of the navy's annual military training schedule. This position was echoed by China's Ministry of Defense and Foreign Ministry, which emphasized that the operation complied fully with international law and established practices, and was not directed against any specific country or target. State news agency Xinhua also carried these statements to reinforce the routine character of the exercise.

为了降低地区疑虑，中方在发射前向相关国家履行了通报程序。澳大利亚国防部长理查德·马尔斯在周一的新闻发布会上证实，堪培拉在发射前数小时收到了中方关于此次海上导弹测试计划的通知。新西兰政府也表示，其在导弹发射前数小时得到了通报。中方强调，这种提前通报的做法体现了军事行动的透明度，并符合国际通行惯例。

To manage regional concerns, Beijing provided advance notifications to neighboring countries before conducting the launch. Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed during a press conference on Monday that Canberra had been notified of China's plans to conduct the sea-based test hours before it took place. The New Zealand government similarly acknowledged that it was informed of the scheduled launch hours in advance. Chinese officials maintained that providing such prior warnings aligns with international norms and demonstrates transparency.

此次导弹试射发生的时间节点具有高度的敏感性。就在中国海军核潜艇进行发射的前数小时，澳大利亚与太平洋岛国斐济刚刚签署了一项重大的防务协定，该协定被称为“和平海洋联盟”。根据该协定的条款，两国承诺在任何一方遭受袭击时将互相提供援助。这一防务盟约的签署，使斐济正式成为了与澳大利亚建立正式同盟关系的第四个太平洋岛国。

The timing of the submarine-launched ballistic missile test carries significant geopolitical weight, occurring just hours after Australia and Fiji signed a major defense alliance known as the Ocean of Peace Alliance. Under the terms of this newly established pact, both nations committed to coming to each other's aid in the event of an attack. This agreement officially makes the Pacific island nation Australia's fourth formal ally in the region.

自2022年中国与所罗门群岛签署安全协议以来，澳大利亚一直致力于加强与太平洋岛国的防务与外交关系。当时中罗两国的安全协议曾引发堪培拉方面的担忧，外界担心北京未来可能会在当地建立永久性的军事基地。为此，澳大利亚近年来不断寻求与周边岛国达成更多防务协议，以巩固其在南太平洋地区的传统安全纽带，而此次中方的导弹试射恰逢这一地缘政治竞争加剧的时刻。

Australia has actively sought to strengthen its defense and diplomatic relationships across the Pacific since 2022, when China signed a security pact with the Solomon Islands. That previous agreement had sparked concerns in Canberra that Beijing might eventually establish a permanent military presence in the area. In response, Australia has focused on securing additional defense deals with Pacific island nations to reinforce its regional ties, a strategy that forms the immediate backdrop to China's latest strategic missile test.

此次导弹试射引发了周边国家的强烈抗议与谴责。澳大利亚外长黄英贤在斐济首都苏瓦举行的新闻发布会上表示，此次测试是在中国快速进行军事扩张且缺乏地区所期待的透明度与意图保证的背景下进行的，并指责中方的试射行动破坏了地区稳定。新西兰外长温斯顿·彼得斯也对此次发射表示深感担忧，并特别指出该导弹被射入了《南太平洋无核区条约》所规定的南太平洋无核区。此外，日本政府在发射前就已得知相关计划，并曾强烈敦促中方重新考虑此次导弹测试。

The submarine-launched ballistic missile test drew immediate condemnation and protests from regional governments. Speaking at a press conference in the Fijian capital of Suva, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong criticized the launch, stating that the test took place against the backdrop of a rapid military build-up by China that lacks the transparency and reassurance regarding intent expected by the region. Wong characterized the military action as destabilising to the area. Meanwhile, New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters expressed deep concern over the operation, specifically noting that the strategic missile had been fired directly into the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone. Additionally, Japan had strongly urged China to reconsider conducting the missile test prior to the launch.
