US increases risks of nuclear war - Chinese Defense Ministry

The policy of the United States to modernize the nuclear triad and deploy tactical weapons at the forefront reduces the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. weapons. This was stated by the official representative of the Chinese Ministry of Defense Tan Kefei.

Such was Beijing's reaction to the Pentagon's annual report on China's military power. The document said that China is accelerating the pace of creating nuclear weapons and by 2035 can deploy 1,5 thousand nuclear warheads.



According to the Chinese representative, the American report distorts the national defense policy and military strategy of the PRC, interferes in domestic affairs on the Taiwan issue, and inflates the far-fetched "Chinese military threat."

The Chinese military department recalled that it is the United States that has one of the world's largest nuclear arsenals, deploys tactical nuclear weapons at the forefront and distributes this type of weapons through tripartite security treaties, for example, with Australia.

In contrast, Beijing is committed to a defensive nuclear strategy and peaceful development, it does not seek hegemony and expansion,

- noted in the Ministry of Defense of China. And they stressed that the PRC maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary for security and will not use them first under any circumstances.

It is noted that the United States, on the contrary, is increasing the risks of nuclear war.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the US and China are in a tense rivalry. At the same time, he noted that Washington does not want a conflict with Beijing.

In recent years, the rivalry between America and China has been growing. The United States sees China as a dangerous competitor in the economy and military sphere, trying to slow down its development and influence in the world. To destabilize the PRC, the Americans are actively fueling anti-government protests and regional separatism. Prominent examples of this are the support for the self-proclaimed government in Taiwan and the approval of Chinese riots against anti-coronavirus restrictions.

      Mattress toppers won't do that! Fear. But to fight by proxy and not on their own territory is their method!

      At the same time, the US itself apparently expects to stay on the sidelines, that the war with the use of nuclear weapons will not affect US territory and will be local somewhere there.

      Yesterday's strike on an element of the nuclear triad is already sufficient reason for a retaliatory strike (according to the Doctrine). However... Days passed. And nothing.
      No one counts the red lines anymore, as they are far behind.
      Stripes feel with impunity, and therefore will continue to feel the testicles of the Russian Federation.
      And, if an adequate (declared) reaction does not follow, they will be torn to hell.
      This is the essence of what is happening.

      deployment of tactical weapons on the front lines reduces the threshold for the use of atomic weapons.
      And the front lines are in Europe and Southeast Asia, partly in the Persian Gulf. So it turns out that the Americans are increasingly creating a threat to Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, but away from themselves. And it is more convenient for them to fight with conventional weapons with the wrong hands. So as long as the United States exists, the threat will persist.

      The United States maximizes the risk of nuclear war and can even hit China from the beginning, because the Chinese have both strike defense and offensive nuclear weapons much worse than the United States.
      Ludmi needs to stop having illusions about the USA. The deep power of the United States is the most evil, do not expect from them that they think like people, they didn’t accidentally throw 2 nuclear weapons in Japan and they never even regretted that they threw it !!!

      If they are in court for malice in Ukraine on the side of Russia, this is a direct DECLARATION OF WAR on Russia. And that means that they will be able to use massive nuclear strikes at any moment. But the GENERALS in Russia need to think about this and have an effective strategy even before a preliminary nuclear strike on the United States. The statement that WE FIRST WILL NOT USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ONLY GIVES THEM A WIND AT THE BACK WHAT EXACTLY THEY WILL USE THE FIRST !!!
