The Chinese PLA Navy's test launch of a strategic missile by a submarine was a routine arrangement of China’s annual military training.
It was not targeted at any specific country or target.
China notified relevant countries in advance, which is in line with international practice.
The launch activity was conducted in a safe, standardized and professional manner throughout.
"We hope relevant countries will not over-interpret it," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Monday at a daily press briefing after being asked to comment on Chinese PLA Navy's test launch of a strategic missile by a submarine earlier the same day.
