What does the United States seek from the expansion of China’s nuclear power?
With more than 5,000 nuclear weapons (15 times China’s), America has always pointed the tip of the arrow at China, which has only 350 nuclear weapons. What are the goals behind this zooming game?
Recently, the heads of the White House have adopted the policy of focusing on China’s nuclear and atomic activities, and in their declaration positions, they have always used this tactic to advance the “China-phobia” project. While the United States has more than 5,000 nuclear weapons, it is the only country that has used atomic bombs throughout history.
Recently, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) issued a statement and claimed: China’s stockpile of operational nuclear warheads has reached 400 warheads, and if the expansion of China’s nuclear weapons continues at the same rate, its nuclear stockpile will probably increase to nearly 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035. Found.
The claim that was met with a reaction from the leaders of Beijing and “Zhao Lijian”, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, accused the United States of exaggerating what he calls “China’s nuclear threat” in order to justify the expansion of its nuclear arsenal and maintain its military hegemony.
Recalling that China has never engaged in any kind of arms race, Zhao said: Beijing strictly adheres to the nuclear defense strategy and the policy of not starting a nuclear conflict, and always keeps its nuclear forces at the lowest level of readiness necessary to ensure national security. .
US nuclear warheads, 15 times that of China
Although there is no doubt in the progress of the White House’s Sinophobic project, even if this prediction is realized, China’s nuclear reserves are still less than the nuclear reserves of the United States and Russia.
Despite the fact that there are about 13,000 nuclear warheads in the world, these two countries currently possess about 12,000 nuclear warheads, which is more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, and the other 7 actors possess only 10% of the nuclear weapons. .
Therefore, Russia is in the first place with 6255 nuclear weapons and America is in the second place with 5555 nuclear warheads. After Russia and America, China is in third place with 350 nuclear weapons.
