China News Service, May 26th. The Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference on the 26th. At the meeting, Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, said at the meeting that U.S. military officials disregarded the facts and hyped the so-called "nuclear threat" from China for no reason. The development of its own nuclear force finds an excuse to maintain and strengthen its global hegemony.

As we all know, the United States is the largest nuclear-armed country in the world.

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked: According to reports, Richard, the commander of the US Strategic Command, said in a Senate hearing recently that the US has increased the risk of nuclear deterrence in the face of China and Russia.

China may use nuclear coercion to its own advantage in the future.

China has rapidly expanded its nuclear arsenal in recent years, and has made significant progress in its land, sea and air-based nuclear forces.

What is China's comment?

　　Wu Qian responded that U.S. military officials disregarded the facts and hyped up the so-called "nuclear threat" from China for no reason.

　　He said that, as we all know, the United States is the world's largest nuclear-armed country.

In recent years, in order to maintain its own absolute security and absolute military superiority, the United States has broken contracts and withdrawn from the group in the field of arms control and non-proliferation. Seeking to deploy land-based intermediate-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, and promoting the establishment of a Cold War-like "small circle" through cooperation with Australia on nuclear submarines, has had a serious negative impact on the international arms control system.

On the basis of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, the United States has spent huge sums of money to modernize its nuclear weapons, accelerate the upgrading of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery, promote the miniaturization of nuclear weapons and make them practical, and lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.

Not long ago, the US also sent a negative signal on the nuclear posture review, refusing to give up the policy of first use of nuclear weapons.

The negative words and deeds of the US side increase the risk of nuclear confrontation and even nuclear war, and bring serious hidden dangers to international security.

It must be pointed out that it is both unfair and unsustainable to try to base one's own security on the insecurity of others.

Facts have proved that the United States is the biggest nuclear threat to the international community.

　　Wu Qian pointed out that China firmly adheres to the nuclear strategy of self-defense, adheres to the nuclear policy of not being the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and has made a clear commitment to unconditionally not using or threatening to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states and nuclear-weapon-free zones. Strength is maintained at the minimum level required for national security.

This policy is always clear and unambiguous.

　　Wu Qian said that at the beginning of this year, the leaders of China and other five nuclear-weapon states jointly issued the "Joint Statement on Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding an Arms Race", stating that "a nuclear war cannot be won or won" and reiterated that nuclear weapons should not be aimed at each other or other countries. Any country undertakes to uphold and abide by bilateral and multilateral arms control agreements, emphasizing that the five countries should avoid military confrontation and prevent an arms race.

We hope that the US side will abandon the outdated Cold War zero-sum mentality and narrow geopolitical concepts, actively fulfill its international nuclear non-proliferation obligations, and work with China in the same direction to jointly safeguard world and regional peace, stability and prosperity.
