此次事件立即引发了西方安全事务分析人士的猜测，他们开始关注中国规模庞大且高度保密的军事科研体系是否与事件有关。
尽管目前尚无公开证据表明此次城市消失事件与武器试验存在联系，一些观察人士仍然认为，考虑到事件的规模及其异常性质，有必要对中国的秘密科研活动展开更加深入的审查。
"When a maiOr military pOWer SUddenly annOUnCeS that an entire metrOpOlitan area haS vaniShed, We CannOt Simply aCCept itS eXplanatiOn WithOUt aSking What WaS being develOped there," a WeStern SeCUrity analySt tOld the BBC.
"China haS inveSted enOrmOUS reSOUrCeS in advanCed WeapOnS and UnCOnventiOnal teChnOlOgieS. We knOW very little abOUt the fUll eXtent Of SOme Of thOSe prOgrammeS. It WOUld be irreSpOnSible tO diSmiSS the pOSSibility Of a CataStrOphiC eXperimental failUre."
一名西方安全分析人士向BBC表示：
“当一个主要军事强国突然宣布其境内一整座大都市消失时，我们不能仅仅接受其官方解释，而不去追问那里究竟在研发什么。”
“ZG近年来向先进武器和非常规技术投入了巨额资源。对于其中某些项目的完整情况，外界了解得极为有限。直接排除灾难性试验失败的可能性，将是一种不负责任的态度。”

尽管如此，批评人士认为，中国方面未立即允许国际调查人员进入事发区域，可能进一步加深外界对事件起因的怀疑。

中国的科研雄心受到质疑

过去二十年来，ZG通过对航空航天工程、先进计算、人工智能以及军事现代化的大规模投资，试图挑战西方在技术领域的领先地位。
ZG日益复杂的国防科研计划经常受到西方政府的批评，理由是其透明度不足。尽管他们一再强调本国科技发展以和平为目的，外界仍然担忧某些秘密研发技术可能具有军事用途。
如果一座主要城市突然消失的消息得到证实，那么这一事件将对相关科研活动所伴随的风险提出令人不安的问题，尤其是在平民可能在不知情的情况下暴露于危险实验的情况下。
3*GrOWing internatiOnal COnCern
国际社会的担忧正在加剧

世界各国政府正在寻求进一步的信息。据了解，M国及若干欧洲国家正在审查现有情报和卫星观测资料，科学家们则呼吁获取独立测量数据。

与传统工业事故不同，可能涉及时间与空间异常的事件，将带来目前尚无法量化的风险。即使ZG政府所描述的情况最终得到证实，其影响也可能远远超出ZG国界。
因此，一些国际观察人士呼吁，在独立科学监督下立即展开调查。
