原文:

A promotional video the Chinese air force released on Sep 19, 2020, appears to depict a simulated strike on a Pacific island some media outlets identified as Guam.

In the two-minute clip posted to the force's Weibo social media account, inspirational music plays as a Chinese H-6K long-range bomber soars over rural China to the Pacific Ocean. With the pilot's press of a button, a missile speeds toward what appears to be a military base on an unnamed island, which erupts in flames in an explosion. The South China Morning Post wrote that the island in the simulation 'has more than a passing resemblance to the U.S. facility on the island of Guam.' Reuters said the runway layout of the targeted base appeared 'to be the main U.S. air force base on Guam.'

中譯:

中共空軍於2020年9月19日,推播1支宣傳影片,隱約描繪對1座太平洋島嶼模擬攻擊的場景,某些媒體咸認該島即為關島。

在中共空軍社群媒體帳號播放的這支2分鐘影片中,轟6長程轟炸機翱翔大陸鄉野上空,航向太平洋之際,振奮樂聲隨之揚起。飛行員按下按鈕,1枚飛彈衝向1座不明島上看似軍事基地之處,該基地即呈爆炸烈焰噴燃之狀。《南華早報》報導,模擬攻擊的這座島嶼,頗像關島上的美軍基地。《路透社》表示,此一具針對性指標的基地,其跑道規劃配置,似乎就是關島的美國空軍基地。
