China Discloses Powerful Deep-Sea Cable Cutter, SCMP Reports

中国公开了一款强大的深海电缆切割器

China revealed for the first time that it has developed a compact deep-sea cable cutting device that is powerful enough to severe communication lines, the South China Morning Post reported.

The tool is able to operate at a depth of up to 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) and has been designed for use with the country’s advanced manned or unmanned submersible vehicles, the report said, citing a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language journal Mechanical Engineer on Feb. 24.

Subsea cables have emerged as a key vulnerability facing governments around the world in the event of heightened tensions or outright conflict.

Developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Center and State Key Laboratory of Deep-Sea Manned Vehicles, the cutter revealed by China targets so-called “armored cables,” lines with steel, rubber and polymer sheaths that make up the overwhelming majority of global data transmissions, the SCMP added.

据《南华早报》报道，中国首次披露已研发出一种紧凑型深海电缆切割装置，该装置威力强大，足以切断通信线路。

报道援引2月24日发表在中文期刊《机械工程师》上的一篇经同行评审的论文称，这种工具能够在最深达4000米（13123英尺）的深度作业，并且是为配合中国先进的载人或无人潜水器使用而设计的。

海底电缆已成为世界各国政府在局势紧张加剧或发生全面冲突时面临的一个关键薄弱环节。

《南华早报》还称，中国披露的这款切割器由中国船舶科学研究中心和深海载人潜水器国家重点实验室研发，其针对的是所谓的“铠装电缆”，即带有钢、橡胶和聚合物护套的电缆线路，这类电缆构成了全球绝大多数的数据传输线路。

China’s cable cutter could sever 95% of world communications, work at extreme depths

In a move that could disrupt crucial undersea communication networks and energy infrastructure worldwide, a Chinese scientific body has unveiled a compact device that can cut cables and power lines located deep in the ocean.

Developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Centre (CSSRC) and its State Key Laboratory of Deep-sea Manned Vehicles, the device targets armoured cables—made of steel, rubber, and polymer—that carry 95% of global data transmission.

中国的电缆切割器能够切断全球95%的通信线路，且能在极深的海底作业。

中国的一个科研机构推出了一款紧凑型设备，该设备能够切断位于深海的电缆和电力线路，这一举动可能会扰乱全球至关重要的海底通信网络和能源基础设施。

这款设备由中国船舶科学研究中心（CSSRC）及其深海载人潜水器国家重点实验室研发，其针对的是由钢、橡胶和聚合物制成的铠装电缆，全球95%的数据传输都是通过这类电缆进行的。

以下是美国雅虎读者的评论：

Cutting a cable should be considered an international crime with the ship owner and any company upstream in the ownership chain indicted and charged 10X the cost of the cable.

切断电缆应被视作国际犯罪，船主以及所有权链条上的上游公司都应被起诉，并被处以电缆成本十倍的罚款。

Miguel
cry me a river - the future is China.

别假惺惺地抱怨了，未来属于中国。

I keep saying it. Ship cuts cable with anchor. Impound ship and crew till they pay all costs and added fees to fix the cable. If no payment is made, empty the ship of all cargo, put the crew back on, take the ship out to deep waters and make it a reef. The crew will be reefers.

我一直都这么说。船只靠锚切断了电缆。那就扣押船只和船员，直到他们付清修复电缆的所有费用及额外费用为止。要是不付款，就清空船上所有货物，让船员回到船上，把船开到深水区，把它弄成一座人工礁石。船员们也得跟着留在那礁石上。

Better yet, consider attacks on critical infrastructure as an act of war.

对关键基础设施的攻击，应该被视为战争行为。

Joel
Won't work. China is using foreign flagged vessels that are basically rusting derelicts with no cargo. The vessels just have scrap value.

这可没用。中国用的是挂外国旗的船只，这些船基本都是生了锈的破船，没有货物。这些船也就剩点废品价值了。

Stefan
Chinese vessels already cut 2 cables in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Estonia dragging an anchor for ... 60 miles.

中国船只已经在波罗的海芬兰和爱沙尼亚之间的海域，拖着锚切断了两条电缆，拖行了60英里。

Need a fleet of underwater cable guard drones to seek out and destroy the cable cutters

需要一队水下电缆护卫无人机，找出并摧毁那些电缆切割器。

Cutting countries communication lines. Should be considered an act of war.

切断他国的通信线路，理应被视为战争行为。

willam
The first thing you do before/during an invasion is cut communications. It makes it near impossible for the invaded country to assemble efficiently and counter/defend itself.

在入侵之前或入侵过程中，首要做的事就是切断通信。这会让被入侵的国家几乎无法有效地集结力量进行反击或自卫。

Yes its time to do something. Biden left us weak looking, but the world knows we are not. We dropped the A bomb we win the wars. This country was built on war. We just got too relaxed. Our youth comes from great patriots and vets. Some of us old guys are still ready to help.

没错，是时候采取行动了。拜登让我们看起来很软弱，但全世界都知道我们并非如此。我们投放过原子弹，我们打过胜仗。这个国家是在战争中建立起来的。我们只是太松懈了。我们的年轻人来自伟大的爱国者和退伍军人家庭。我们这些老家伙中，有些人仍然愿意出力相助。

They have already been doing that with their tankers dragging their anchors. The Scandinavian countries are well aware of what they are doing and have already confiscated one of their tankers involved in the latest undersea cable damage.

他们中国的油轮已经在用拖锚的方式这么做了。斯堪的纳维亚国家很清楚他们在做什么，并且已经扣押了一艘与最近海底电缆受损事件有关的油轮。

James
This is not a tool. It is a weapon intended to be used during or before going to war.

这可不是什么工具。这是一件打算在战争期间或开战前使用的武器。

DS
Errrh, they've developed this tech for war, so what's your point? someone's gonna doing something about it?

呃，他们研发这项技术就是为了战争，那你想说什么呢？难道有人会对此采取行动吗？

Poppa
We need to put china in check. They are like locusts. Dollar store country. We should do something now. Don't be scared. Live free or die.

我们得制衡中国。一个充斥廉价商品的国家。我们现在就该采取行动。别害怕。不自由，毋宁死。

Who's "we"? Trump has declared trade war on everyone, he has made US a public enemy, if the "we" means Murica alone, good luck with that, China's can make everything faster and cheaper, US has no chance to win a war with them

“我们”是谁？特朗普向所有人发起了贸易战，他让美国成了众矢之的。如果“我们”指的仅仅是美国，那祝你好运吧。中国能以更快的速度、更低的成本制造商品，美国没机会在战争中战胜他们。

If I understand and remember history correctly, I believe India shook the reigns of the British Empire by making all their own stuff. We are so entitled in this country and must have everything we want and have it new.
There is so much 'stuff" in this country already we can just re-use and recycle a great deal of what we already have....and cut energy usage, landfills, and harvesting more raw materials......I believe it is called boycotting goods.

如果我对历史的理解和记忆没错的话，我认为印度曾经自己制造，动摇了大英帝国的统治。我们这个国家的人太自以为是了，总想着要拥有自己想要的一切，而且还得是新的。

我们国家已经有这么多东西了，我们完全可以重复利用和回收大量现有的物品……还能减少能源消耗、垃圾填埋量，以及对更多原材料的开采，我觉得这就叫抵制商品。

You know what will happen if they cut the cables? All the younger people will have to depend on Boomers again, Boomers know how to talk to people, send letters in the mail, go to meetings in person, deposit money in the bank, go to the store and buy a pair of shoes, drive a car, plant stuff, pick it and then prepare it, fix cars, and look things up in encyclopedias. Count on us. We're ready.

你知道如果他们切断电缆会发生什么吗？

婴儿潮一代知道如何与人交谈、邮寄信件、亲自参加会议、去银行存钱、去商店买双鞋、开车、种植作物、采摘并处理作物、修理汽车，还会在百科全书中查找资料。相信我们。我们已经准备好了。

TROY
I’m sure we can develop the same thing if we haven’t already. These antagonizing dirty tricks that the Russians and China play are irritating, But I’m sure we can cut as many cables as they can. So thanks for the information

我确定如果我们还没研发出来的话，肯定能研发出同样的东西。俄罗斯和中国使用的这些挑衅性的卑鄙手段很让人恼火，但我确定我们切断电缆的能力不会比他们差。所以感谢提供这些信息。

Rickin
I saw what we were capable of in the 80s. I have been out of that loop a long time and can only imagine what we are capable of today.

我见识过我们在80年代的能力。我已经很久没接触相关领域了，只能想象我们如今的能力有多强。

chuyo
We can do much more damage if we choose to. (much worse! than that) China Has No Idea What the US is capable of, and we like it that way.

如果我们想的话，我们能造成大得多的破坏。比那严重得多！中国根本不知道美国的能力有多强

Nick
Do you think China, Russia or North Korea have any tans-Pacific or tans-Atlantic cables?

你觉得中国、俄罗斯或者朝鲜有跨太平洋或跨大西洋的电缆吗？

hybred Asymeterical warfare is Exactly what I study. why because America in the last 75 years has been defeated in every conflict by Asymeterical gorrilla warfare. first time we encountered it was in Nam
we should be the very best at it since we invented the concept of fighting a major power outside the accepted rules of warfare at the time. These cable IMHO are a write off don't expect or rely on them lasting more than an hour once a conflict starts. Impossible to protect to vast an area and too easy to drag anchor or other sabatoge. defense is usually easier to plan not in the case. the next conflict will be digital before lead starts flying. crippling the electronic infrastucture and defense systems before attack. long range missiles and bombers are all good but a nuke in a ship container is a lot harder to stop than a missile or a bomber, cheaper and easier to do. they been smuggling in TONS of fentanyl a few hundred pounds an aircraft over a major city your imagination is all that needed.

混合非对称战争正是我研究的内容。为什么呢？在过去75年里，美国在每一场冲突中都被非对称游击战打败了。我们第一次遭遇这种情况是在越南。

既然我们当初发明了在当时公认的战争规则之外与大国作战的理念，那我们就应该是这方面最厉害的。在我看来，这些电缆就是白费的，一旦冲突爆发，别指望也别依赖它们能撑过一个小时。要保护这么广阔的区域根本不可能，而且用锚拖拽或者进行其他破坏太容易了。通常来说防御计划会比较好制定，但这种情况不行。

下一场冲突在真刀真枪开打之前会先在数字领域展开。在发动攻击之前先削弱对方的电子基础设施和防御系统。远程导弹和轰炸机固然不错，但藏在集装箱里的核弹可比导弹或轰炸机更难拦截，成本更低也更容易实施。他们已经走私了大量的芬太尼，几百磅的量用飞机运到一个大城市上空，你可以尽情想象后果。

What most people are classifying as loses for the United States in recent wars are in fact wrong. In every war from Vietnam to Afghanistan the United States won every single battle or engagement what the United States did lose is the police action in the aftermath of the conflict our military is not a police force or are they even trained to be one.After each conflict there was no attempt to organize the the people and put them to work rebuilding their country give people something to be proud of get them a steady job and paycheck get the children back to school think back to each of these conflicts you seen loads of children just standing everywhere. The old saying is true “ idol hands makes for mischievous minds”The US needs to increase the size of its military police force so that they can take over from the regular military force.

大多数人认为美国在近期战争中遭遇的失败，其实是错误的认知。从越南战争到阿富汗战争，在每一场战争中，美国赢得了每一场战斗或交锋。美国真正输掉的是冲突后的治安行动，我们的军队不是警察部队，甚至也没有接受过警察部队的训练。

每次冲突结束后，都没有努力去组织民众，让他们参与到国家重建工作中，没有给人们一些值得骄傲的事情做，没有给他们一份稳定的工作和收入，也没有让孩子们重返校园。回想一下这些冲突，你会看到到处都是无所事事的孩子。那句老话没错，“游手好闲生祸端”。美国需要扩充宪兵部队的规模，这样他们就能接替常规军事部队的部分工作。

Once the cables are cut AND satellites destroyed it will be another WWII as far as the fighting. No more long range drones or long range GPS guided anything.

一旦电缆被切断，卫星也被摧毁，那么从作战角度来说，就会像是又一场第二次世界大战。不会再有远程无人机，也不会再有任何远程GPS制导的东西了。

MELVIN
Cable Cutting is an Act of War....... Cable Cutting ships should be a valid target !

切断电缆就是战争行为，切断电缆的船只理应成为合法的攻击目标！

Donald
This just goes to show what China intends to do at start of a possible war against Taiwan or even Europe to help Russia. I have been saying for 2 years now that The Nordic countries and Europe need to do a combined effort to find a alternative solution to the cable issue maybe the Nordic countries and All of Europe NATO should figure out how to lay deep underground secondary Cables. The biggest fear is what I said is going to happen in the next 5-7 years Russia is going to attack the Baltic States China is going to attack Taiwan North Korea is going to attack South Korea and and Iran is going to attack Israel all at the same time

这恰恰表明了中国可能武统台湾，甚至为了帮助俄罗斯而与欧洲发生冲突。

两年来我一直都说，北欧国家和欧洲需要共同努力，找到解决电缆问题的替代方案，也许北欧国家和整个欧洲的北约成员国应该想想如何铺设深埋地下的备用电缆。我最担心的是，未来5到7年里，我所说的情况会发生，俄罗斯会进攻波罗的海国家，中国会武统台湾，朝鲜会进攻韩国，伊朗会进攻以色列，所有这些会同时发生。

"compact deep-sea cable cutting device that is powerful enough to severe communication lines" - Pasted from above.
First, it is nothing to break undersea cables. A shark chewing on them is enough, and that has actually happened. So yea.
And second, "severe" communication lines? Really? Hey, I can accept that down here in the chat. But in an article it is entirely unacceptable.

“紧凑型深海电缆切割装置，威力强大，足以切断通信线路”

首先，弄断海底电缆并不是什么大不了的事。鲨鱼咬上几口都够了，而且这确实发生过。所以说嘛。

其次，“切断通信线路？真的吗？嘿，在聊天里这么说我能接受。但要是出现在文章里，那完全不能接受。
