The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces declared the impossibility of preventing China's nuclear program

The American authorities admit that they do not have the ability to somehow stop or slow down the development of China's nuclear potential. This was stated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley.

During the hearings in the US Congress, Milley lamented the impossibility of somehow banning or destroying China's nuclear development program designed for the next 10-20 years. According to a Pentagon official, there are very few counterweights that could be applied to curb the development of China's nuclear program.

Milley also called the Chinese government's goal of making the PRC "equal" among world powers "achievable". Based on this, the representative of the American military department noted that the United States should not only keep up with China in a number of aspects, but also be ahead of it.

Earlier, the Chinese authorities called on the United States to stop interfering in the internal affairs of other states under the pretext of the so-called "defending democracy."

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning stressed that the modern world should not create divisions "in the name of democracy" and continue to promote the so-called "policy of unilateral action", but strive to strengthen solidarity and cooperation based on the goals and principles prescribed in the UN Charter.

The Chinese diplomat also noted that instead of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of democracy, it is necessary to implement real democracy, abandoning false democracy.

Something is wrong in the impudent state, since they begin to howl. Do they foresee the end of their hegemony?

This is how the brain twists the habit of thinking of yourself as exclusive hegemons. Everywhere they influence everything, but here there is nothing at all.
Right in my head "Shock and Awe" dislocation of the brain.

The nuclear program of the DPRK is not able to suspend, what can we say about the PRC. I would have remained silent, I would have passed for a smart one!

The American authorities do not know how to stop the nuclear program of North Korea, and then China.

[evgen1221]

And how do they even imagine it? The raw materials of the factory technology brains are all their own, and the Russian Federation also helps in cooperation. Bombing like Iran will not work, sanctions will come out more expensive for themselves, bribing scientists for the prospect of changing their homeland and sex is also not stupid in China. And how you want to continue cheating, even your cheekbones.

[Filibuster]

It will be a very interesting new world in which each of the 200 states will have nuclear weapons.

The Yankees will very soon have to learn to "express deep and even in some places decisive concern" and draw "red lines" in relation to China.

And you don't have to. It would be more sense to press "Matra-SS-niki" (tm) on science and technology: a commercial "thermonuclear" will give them a greater effect against China than attempts to ban and restrict ...

As already written above, pen dos cannot do anything with Eun. Recently, they tried to intimidate the Koreans by sending aircraft carriers to their shores, but they put them in their pants in time and got away. They can't stop China. The bastard Anglo-Saxons, creating chaos around the world and with their fear of nuclear powers, are pushing countries striving for independence to become owners of nuclear weapons.

"Something is rotten in Kingdom of Denmark American Empire" - whatever they do, everything somehow goes awry.

They brought democracy to Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan - they brought chaos.
They wanted to strangle us with sanctions - they made fun for themselves and the whole world.
They tried to push China away from Russia - they led to cooperation.
They do not want the proliferation of nuclear weapons, but they are pushing the world to the idea that only nuclear weapons are a guarantee against their, American, lawlessness. Who doesn't want to live independently?

The way out suggests itself - they would sit quietly, do not shine. You see, without their "efforts" the world would become calmer and safer.
Duc no... CHSV does not give.

Maybe so, but the main beneficiaries of SSH_p are in a big plus in almost any scenario. And the fact that during the "democratization" of Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan, the N-th number of mattress citizens of the elite pen did not worry. For this, Mexicans and other Latinos are made citizens of the United States so that there will be someone to scatter their bones around the world in fulfillment of the interests of the "shining city on the hill."

The Americans are now inventing some kind of well-known program for China's nuclear development out of thin air, naturally complaining that they cannot ban (in arrogance!) and destroy it:

During the hearings in the US Congress, Milley lamented the impossibility of somehow banning or destroying China's nuclear development program designed for the next 10-20 years.

Stupid questions: 1. What exactly is this program?
2. What exactly is known about her? How many weapons reactors, enrichment centrifuges, warheads? 3. program for 10 years or 20???
You won’t wait for answers because this supposedly well-known US program of China is just an invention of US politicians for their internal showdowns and propaganda within the US. And the way to cover up their fiction about China's weak nuclear arsenal - it is already large, with thousands of warheads, they have been hiding this since the late 90s, and now they themselves are confused in their lies: whether to continue to lie about China's weak nuclear arsenal of 300-400 warheads , either vaguely hint at the fact that it is growing sharply in the course of "a certain Chinese program", or suddenly admit tomorrow "we screwed up with the assessment of nuclear weapons of the PRC - there are at least 2000 warheads!"

Here are the recent traces of the undercover struggle of the Americans about China's nuclear weapons assessments: https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2022/12/07/china-may-have-surpassed-us-in-number-of-nuclear-warheads-on -icbms/

In short, Defense News magazine published the official correspondence of the US Congress with the US Strategic Command (STRATCOM), from which it follows that only the number of Chinese nuclear warheads on deployed ICBMs in China already exceeds the number of American nuclear warheads on deployed ICBMs in the US - officially there are 550 of them in the USA, according to the START-III agreement between the Russian Federation and the USA. At the same time, 450 American ICBMs of the LGM-30G Minuteman III type deployed in the United States can carry three warheads, which is 1350 warheads in total. This increases China's total arsenal of nuclear warheads by several times compared to the FAS estimate from 2022.

Where did this story come from that China allegedly has nuclear warheads less than France and Great Britain?

It comes from the filing of one (only one!) American, allegedly non-governmental organization called FAS (Federation of American Scientists) - the Federation of American Scientists.

If you look closely at who in the FAS makes these assessments, a strange fact becomes clear: the Chinese nuclear arsenal is assessed by one self-taught expert who does not have a higher education (!), never a scientist or an American. This is Hans Christensen - a Danish functionary from Greenpeace, with a very murky biography: he was born in Denmark in 1961, has been living in the USA since 1991, no academic degree, no scientific qualifications, there is a certificate from an ordinary Danish gymnasium (college) from 1981 (mathematics, biology). In 1982-86 he was the Danish coordinator for the disarmament campaign. Then, until 1991, he coordinated Greenpeace projects, first in Britain, then throughout Scandinavia (regional coordinator). In 1991 he became a researcher in the military information department of the international headquarters of Greenpeace International in Washington. In 1997, he was again in Denmark, but already a special adviser to the defense commission in the Danish Ministry of Defense (!). From 1998 to 2002, researcher at the murky supposedly non-state Nautilus Institute in Berkeley, USA. How can such a "cadre" evaluate anything in the nuclear military sphere ??

The FAS has much more advanced American scientists, nuclear scientists and military personnel who served as officers in the US Navy, including on nuclear submarines with ICBMs (for example: Charles D. Ferguson). Why don't they make assessments of Chinese nuclear potential instead of the under-education of Hans Christensen? Because they were reluctant to get dirty and give out to the public, in the media, this political order: obviously underestimated estimates of the number of China's warheads. Indeed, until the 1990s, the Chinese nuclear forces openly evaluated other US state military structures: DIA - Defense Intelligence Agency (Defense Intelligence Agency - an analogue of our GRU) and NSC - National Security Council (National Security Council). Then their assessments from the media suddenly disappeared and one FAS reigned there. Moreover, the FAS itself estimated the Chinese nuclear arsenal in 1991–1994 at 434 warheads (why not at 433 or 435 - their spies ran around China’s nuclear warehouses and counted up all the warheads to one ???), and then sharply at 230– 235 warheads from 2000 to 2006.

How do our professionals evaluate China’s nuclear arsenal?
Here is an article by retired Colonel-General Viktor Yesin, former Chief of the Main Staff of the Strategic Missile Forces, professor at the Academy of Military Sciences of the Russian Federation, “Third after the USA and Russia: On China’s nuclear potential without understatement or exaggeration,” published in the weekly Military Industrial Courier » dated May 2, 2012:

https://vpk-news.ru/articles/8838

In it, he modestly estimates China's nuclear arsenal for 2012. in 1600-1800 nuclear warheads.

Now ten years have passed since that moment.

China has at least 2000 warheads.

But in our media it is also not customary to talk about this, just like in the USA!
Such is the paradox: it is customary in our media to find fault with all assessments of American "experts" on all topics as deceit, lies, propaganda, a mistake ...
and as the assessment of American "experts" concerns the nuclear arsenal of the PRC, so in our media they love and quote it. Unconditionally, trustingly and joyfully!

[Michael]

How can you ban something from a country with nuclear weapons and their means of delivery! China is no longer fighting in the opium wars, but three hundred years have passed and the situation has changed.

[QuestionsNeudobny]

in general, official mattress heads remind me more and more of demon-possessed grandmas at the entrances - they care about everything, they comment on everything, discuss, give assessments. plugs in each barrel. they don’t even fool that it all looks like a moronic from the outside. but this is not important to them, the main thing is what opinion they have about themselves and in the eyes of superior mattresses. decay, decay and stench.

You have no memory from the 70s of the last century. Then they beat below the grass and real doves of the world. After the USSR reached parity in strategic weapons and the US was defeated in Vietnam, they had to go to Helsinki in 1975.

The theory of China's insignificant nuclear arsenal comes from the desire of the United States to impose nuclear disarmament on all countries, which, together with American missile defense and high-precision non-nuclear weapons for a global strike, will ensure them world domination.
Their idea in future negotiations, on the basis that China's "known" arsenal to the world is small, will install 200 or 300 warheads as the maximum for China, and everything else is to be destroyed.

The theory of China's insignificant nuclear arsenal comes from the desire of the United States to impose nuclear disarmament on all countries, which, together with American missile defense and high-precision non-nuclear weapons for a global strike, will ensure them world domination.

The United States may have had such a hidden desire. Why else would they send spies to Russia at the end of the 90s (I remember exactly under Yeltsin) who were caught walking around Russian nuclear facilities, taking accurate GPS coordinates of the borders of objects. There were several stories on the news about the detention of such Americans, and I began to think: "Why are they doing this? What's the point?" After all, they can see from space (from spy satellites) where these objects are located. Then it dawned on me: it’s clear and possible to calculate the coordinates from a map / model of the globe, enough for a nuclear strike, there’s no need for special accuracy. But if you hit with cruise missiles WITHOUT nuclear warheads, then you need to know the coordinates as accurately as possible, which means you need to remove them on the spot. They clearly planned a disarming strike on the Russian Federation without nuclear warheads (as if not starting a nuclear war), the destruction of critical enterprises in the nuclear weapons industry. Well, they had a lot of propaganda that nuclear weapons were outdated. Through all sorts of NGOs and foundations. For example, there was an article on Gazeta.ru "Atomic warhead will soon become a weapon of the past" typical stupid disinformation on this topic - here is its author: https://mgimo.ru/people/troitskiy/ - from his resume it is clear who he works for .. The article itself has been prudently erased.
But frankly, I don't think the fiction about China's small nuclear arsenal comes from that alone.

Their idea in future negotiations, on the basis that China's "known" arsenal to the world is small, will install 200 or 300 warheads as the maximum for China, and everything else is to be destroyed.

Ha! This is generally nonsense, even for the USA. China simply will not start such negotiations. It will be like now to deny: “Well, why do we need to participate in limiting nuclear weapons? You know we have an arsenal of nuclear weapons of a ridiculous size, so it’s purely a formality, smaller than France and Britain, the size is not serious! , let's see ... "China can play such a game for another 300 years ...
And most importantly:
Well, how can they force China to destroy the "rest" if they don't even know how much this "rest" is!??
China can calmly say in the negotiations: "Yes, no problem, we will destroy everything else tomorrow or after a rain on Thursday. Just believe!" and not let them check with shouts: "How can you not believe us! What are you! This is an insult!"

Example: How the Chinese behave with the IMF: they carefully listen to all the harmful advice of the IMF, thank you heartily for them, swear to do everything exactly like that, and then ... they do everything in their own way. And as a result, everything is in order with their economy, and the IMF cannot catch them by the hand and say: "Here you did NOT as we advised!" because the answer will be vague like: "we slightly changed your version in accordance with Chinese specifics" or incriminating: "we did everything right, you see the economic indicators are normal. And if they did it according to yours, it would be a failure! Why do you give such advice ?"

This strange situation with its nuclear weapons (since the end of the 90s) is very beneficial for China: China does not comment on the FAS estimates in any way, never says whether they are true or not, whether it has more or less nuclear warheads, it simply says that its arsenal is small, never saying any numbers! During periods of exacerbation (when there is a collision with China), sometimes a Chinese general (not the first row) will sometimes vaguely say "Our arsenal is less than English and French." Then you can say that this is "his personal opinion." But even a general never gives a number, doesn't specify less English + French or English? or French? Then you can always say: but we actually believe that the English and French arsenal is actually MORE ... they are deceiving us and the whole world! And then 20 years on this topic to doggie, infuriating the British and French at the negotiations ...

I think it's a "pin pong" deal dating back to the time of Kissinger: China promised them something in exchange for technology and investment, about the arsenal of nuclear weapons too. Then they were glad to cooperate with him, they were glad that China had quarreled with the USSR and ordered their media to broadcast these strange 434, and then 200-220 warheads through FAS.

And then China imperceptibly hammered a bolt on this secret treaty, and the Americans continued to underestimate the Chinese arsenal so that there was pride in their country, in order to belittle the competitor and concentrate on the USSR / Russian Federation as "the main force of evil." Then they started to play completely, they realized that China is already stronger than them, and the media are reluctant to admit their failures, so they continue to play the same stupid game.
