Recently, the US Department of Defense submitted the 2022 "China Military Power Annual Report" to Congress in accordance with regulations. In this report, the Pentagon is almost exaggerated, exaggerating China's nuclear deterrence into the world's biggest instability factor. Taking data from unknown sources, he lied that China "may be expanding its nuclear arsenal" and "planned" to expand the number of nuclear warheads to 1,500 by 2035. This report caused heated discussion as soon as it was released by US media. Some foreign media reporters asked the spokesperson at a press conference held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the 30th press conference, Zhao Lijian made a clear response.
Zhao Lijian said that China's nuclear policy is consistent, but the United States, as the country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, has blatantly engaged in nuclear proliferation. The United States should seriously review its nuclear policy, significantly and substantially reduce its nuclear arsenal, and ultimately achieve a comprehensive and thorough nuclear disarmament. In fact, matters related to nuclear disarmament have long been issues that Russia and the United States need to deal with, because the number of nuclear warheads held by the two accounts for 90% of the global number of nuclear warheads.

This means that global nuclear disarmament work can be officially started only when the nuclear disarmament work between the United States and Russia has been implemented to a certain extent. But it is regrettable that the United States, which has the most nuclear warheads, is very negative in promoting nuclear disarmament work. Especially during the term of Trump, the United States unilaterally tore up the INF Treaty and withdrew from the Strategic Weapons Treaty despite Russia's obstruction and warning. When Biden took office, the United States directly broke through the restrictions of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, intending to spread the construction technology and key equipment of the nuclear submarine to Asia.
Not only that, the United States has also created legitimacy for the US military to use and deploy tactical nuclear weapon by amending domestic laws, further enhancing global nuclear risks. But such a rogue power that often talks about nuclear blackmail is now deliberately staring at China's nuclear inventory every day. As the only country among all nuclear countries in the world that promises not to first use nuclear weapon and not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries, we have never considered applying nuclear weapons to external conquests.
China's nuclear arsenal is the basic guarantee for defending national security
In contrast, the United States has adhered to the "preemptive" nuclear assault strategy to this day, and has only promised to "not carry out nuclear strikes against most non-nuclear countries". This unconcealed bullying of the weak is itself the biggest instability factor. The United States has expressed "concern" about China's nuclear inventory all day long, just to find out our background so as to adjust their nuclear strategy to China.
is now in the name of "maintaining global order", and is promoting "China's nuclear expansion" all over the world. Behind all the actions is actually to warm up the United States' own nuclear expansion. Unlike the Cold War period, China's military and technological level is now progressing rapidly, while the United States' research in the field of medium-range missiles has begun to lag behind China. The aging problem of naval ship is so serious that when the United States' policy of building a military moves to "big power confrontation", it suddenly discovered that the war against terrorism in the past twenty years cannot be applied to China at all. As the gap in conventional military strength was rapidly narrowed, the United States could only restart nuclear blackmail and rely on such rogue means to buy time for itself.
U.S. nuclear warheads rank first in the world
U.S. must realize that in the battlefield in the past, the Chinese were not afraid of the threat of the US nuclear bomb , and today China has no reason to bow to nuclear blackmail. If the United States is still persistent in curbing China by building a "nuclear encirclement", such despicable behaviors of counter-inflict action will inevitably be countered. China's nuclear power will be ready to fight back and can effectively fight against any invading enemy.
