The US State Department published an article on January 4 entitled “China’s nuclear madness”. Just as the Communist Party virus has made people aware of the disaster caused by its lies, the communist Party’s covert pursuit of nuclear weapons also threatens the international community, the article said, so Washington demanded that the Communist Party deal responsibly with nuclear weapons and join the nuclear talks and any new start treaty.
The party’s asymmetrical arms race over the past two decades has posed a threat to the international community, the article said, yet because of its secrecy over its nuclear program, it has the least transparency about nuclear weapons among the five permanent members. The Communist Party refuses to tell the international community how many nuclear weapons it has, how many it plans to develop or how it plans to use them, even though it has the world’s fastest-growing nuclear Arsenal.
Despite the Communist Party’s attempts to keep its nuclear programme secret, the article reveals that the international community is still well aware of its quest for a trinity of land, sea and air weapons, and of its rapid build-up and modernisation.
According to the article, the Chinese Communist Party’s military parade in Beijing in 2019 will feature a phalanx of nuclear weapons about 3 meters long, more than 10 times the length of 10 years ago. The Communist Party displayed its DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile, which can hit THE US coast in 30 minutes. “If the Party maintains this trend, China will at least double its total nuclear Arsenal over the next decade,” the article said.
The article also said the Communist Party launched more missiles in 2018 and 2019 than the rest of the world combined. In 2020, the Communist Party tested more than 220 ballistic missiles, more than in any of the previous two years combined. Commercial satellite images show the Communist Party’s nuclear test site in Lop Nur operating year-round.
As the Chinese Communist Party has modernised its nuclear Arsenal, pentagon evidence also suggests that it is turning a so-called “No First Use” nuclear posture into a “launch-on-warning” posture.
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia limits the Range of land-based missiles in both countries to between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. During the treaty’s entry into force, the Chinese military fired more than 1,000 theater ballistic missiles off its coastline. Most of the missiles are dual-use missiles capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads, and the article said: “The Purpose of [the move] is to launch attacks against US forces in East Asia and to intimidate and intimidate US Allies.”
“We demand transparency in the Chinese Communist Party’s nuclear weapons program and participation in a new arms control agreement being drafted by the United States and Russia covering all types of nuclear weapons,” the article said. Any new START treaty must include the Chinese Communist Party.”
It argues that the US, the former Soviet Union and other countries long ago realised that world powers must deal responsibly with nuclear weapons and raised arms control during the Cold War because it was in their security interests. And democracies have maintained transparency about their nuclear programs and respected international nuclear norms. It is time for the Chinese Communist Party to honour its article 6 commitment to “conduct nuclear arms negotiations in good faith”.
The article said the United States had made its contribution to reducing nuclear weapons, and it was time for the Chinese Communist Party to stop its nuclear threat posture and deal with the issue responsibly.
