As we all know, nuclear weapon is one of the most lethal weapons in the world at present. History has told us how powerful nuclear weapons are. In order to avoid the unrestricted development of nuclear weapons, the international community has been committed to promoting nuclear weapons reduction plans.
Of course, nuclear arms control once became a tool for the United States to encircle China. As the country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, the United States does not weaken the number of nuclear weapons in its own country by the same standards, but requires China to join the US-led nuclear arms control negotiations as a teacher. It is unreasonable or reasonable. Moreover, the current scale of the United States' nuclear bombs has reached more than 5,000, while China's number of nuclear bombs is less than one-tenth of that of the United States. At the same time, China has always strictly abides by its commitment to using nuclear weapons. On this basis, the United States has been using the dual standard nuclear arms control under the banner of "strategic stability dialogue" to clearly intend to target China rather than simply negotiate nuclear arms control.
It is worth noting that Russia, also a major power with nuclear weapons, reached a consensus with the United States in June this year to extend the Treaty on Reduction of Strategic Assault Weapons. However, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, on December 15 local time, foreign ministers from 16 countries jointly attended the "Stockholm Disarmament Initiative" meeting held in Sweden . In the conference, 16 countries including Japan, South Korea, Germany, Spain, Canada, Indonesia , Jordan pointed their finger at China. According to reports, 16 foreign ministers not only repeatedly named China's reduction of nuclear weapons in the meeting, but also expressed concern about the number of nuclear weapons in the United States, France, Russia and the United Kingdom.
According to the report "Weapons Data Release from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in 2020" released by US media, as of 2020, the number of nuclear warheads owned by the United States is 5,800, Russia 6,275, China 320, France 290, Britain 215, India 150, and Pakistan 2,160.
You should know that China is the first country in the world to promise not to use nuclear weapons first and not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries. Moreover, China's development of nuclear weapons is based on national defense and security considerations. After all, with the increasingly fierce game between China and the United States, it is very necessary for China's national defense security to use appropriate nuclear weapons to achieve the effect of "stop war with war".
. In fact, China has long responded to the situation where the 16 foreign ministers mentioned China and put pressure on it. When will the United States reduce its number of nuclear weapons to the same level as China, and then discuss the issue of nuclear arms control with China. Another thing that the 16 countries need to be clear is that as the two countries with the largest number of nuclear weapons, the United States and Russia are the focus of nuclear disarmament.
However, nuclear weapons have been feared by all countries since their introduction, and have prompted many countries to further restrict the disorderly expansion of nuclear weapons through signing treaties. But even if 189 countries signed the " Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons ", isn't it impossible for the United States to do its own things? In September this year, the United States and Britain made a public commitment to provide Australia with nuclear submarine technology, which is a typical example of knowing the law and breaking the law.
