According to media reports, on October 28, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, on the 27th, the US Department of Defense released the 2022 nuclear situation review report (NPR). What is China’s comment on the report? Wang Wenbin said that we have noticed that the US nuclear situation review report in 2022 is trying hard to exaggerate competition and camp confrontation between major powers, and is full of Cold War thinking and concepts. It uses nuclear weapon as a tool to promote geopolitical goals, which runs contrary to the international expectations of preventing nuclear war and avoiding nuclear arms race. Wang Wenbin also stressed that we warn the US that China has the ability and confidence to safeguard national security interests, and that the US's nuclear blackmail cannot scare China.
As the only superpower in the world today, the United States should always put the world first in everything, regard maintaining world and regional peace and stability as its top priority, and regard solving the common challenges faced by mankind as its greatest mission. But the reality is that the United States not only refuses to assume its due responsibilities, but also deliberately provokes conflicts and encircles and suppresses other countries. In order to maintain its world hegemony status, it has lost its most basic principles and bottom line regardless of it. Now, the challenges facing all mankind are unprecedented. Not only the COVID-19 epidemic, but also climate change, and of course, there are many practical problems such as poverty and hunger. This requires the international community to face together. Unfortunately, because the United States has serious Cold War mentality, it deliberately creates division or even confrontation, which makes the world more turbulent.
At present, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is intensifying, and there is a danger of evolving into World War III. Under such circumstances, the United States is still exaggerating the Cold War mentality and inciting the confrontation of major powers, which is contrary to the mainstream attitude of the international community to hope for peace and stability. Therefore, the gangster gang formed by some countries under the leadership of the United States has become seriously unpopular, and this is also the reason why Russia can gain a foothold under the full attack of the United States and the West. In this case, the United States still ignores China's peaceful development, win-win cooperation, and builds a community with a shared future for mankind, regards China as the largest geopolitical challenge in the 21st century, and even does not hesitate to openly conduct nuclear blackmail on China. Is it tolerable, but who is intolerable? China does not cause trouble, but it is never afraid of trouble.
In today's 21st century, the United States also wants to threaten China through this extreme means of force. To be honest, it is not only overestimating one's own abilities, but also politically naive. On the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea 70 years ago, the New China at that time did not have the atomic bomb , and was still not afraid of the United States' nuclear threat , let alone today. Today, China is a trinity of land, sea and air in terms of nuclear power, and is not afraid of any opponent at all. We have enough strength to fight back. If the United States underestimates China on this issue, it will make a serious mistake. In the same last century, for a period of time, China and the United States and the Soviet Union had bad relations. Facing the severe situation on the Sino-Soviet border, they were not afraid at all. They vigorously built air defense nuclear defense facilities and prepared to fight against the enemy. They were already prepared for the worst. From this we can also see that China is not afraid of struggle and will not compromise.
Now, the United States suddenly conducts nuclear blackmail. Although it is bad news, there are also positive aspects. Because this undoubtedly shows from the perspective of the United States is already in a desperate situation on the road to encirclement and suppression of China. From the failure of the trade war to the setback of the Taiwan issue; from the kicking of chip sanctions to the stranded attempt to decouple from China, all of this made the United States feel helpless. In fact, it is not others who try to isolate China, it is the United States. Its main allies, including the UK, EU , and Japan, are profiting from China, and even the United States itself is inseparable from China. Therefore, stopping China's rise is just the wishful thinking of the United States and it is destined to be difficult to succeed.
is the same thing. If China and the United States work together, both will benefit, and if both fight, both will suffer.China is unwilling to confront the United States, but if it is aggressive and attempts to bully China, then China will definitely fight to the end. In today's 21st century, I believe that the international community can see clearly and understand that hegemony is unpopular and destined to fail. So, the United States should take a break and hold its own nuclear stick. This will not scare China, and it can only prove that the United States itself is shameless and incompetent.
