"China has always pursued a policy of no first use of nuclear weapons, adhered to the nuclear strategy of self-defense, unconditionally refrained from using or threatening to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon countries and nuclear-weapon-free zones, and did not engage in a nuclear arms race with any country. Its nuclear forces have always been maintained to safeguard national security.
"The minimum level required." - "China's Military Strategy" 2015 Edition I think it is right for China not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. Not using nuclear weapons first does not mean that it will not take the initiative to defend against confrontation, but it is the magnanimity and style that a major country should have!
? ?Currently, 8 countries in the world have successfully tested nuclear weapons. Countries that have promised not to be the first to use nuclear weapons include India and China.
Since the quantity and quality of India's nuclear weapons are not high, China, as one of the five most powerful nuclear-weapon states, has become very unusual in its commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons.
?The external commitment of no first use of nuclear weapons is an important choice for China to win the respect and understanding of the international community. After China acquired nuclear weapons, it solemnly declared that it will never be the first to use nuclear weapons and will never use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons countries.
This move not only won the trust of neighboring countries, but also won the respect of the majority of countries in the world, and allowed China to quickly establish the image of a responsible and just power in the world.
No country in the world dares to use nuclear weapons to attack China. China strictly abides by its commitments.
A nuclear arms race is avoided, and the money saved can be used for economic development.
As China's conventional weapons capabilities improve, China has become more and more confident in adhering to its nuclear weapons policy. No country in the world dares to use nuclear weapons against China, which shows the success of China's minimum nuclear weapons strategy.
An effective and economical nuclear strategy has helped China become a world power.
China's strategic choice of no first use of nuclear weapons is also a friendly and good-faith strategic arrangement. China's no first use of nuclear weapons strategy and the nuclear umbrella provided by the United States in East Asia simultaneously maintain the nuclear balance, security and stability in East Asia and Northeast Asia.
, so China’s first announcement of a no-first-use nuclear weapons strategy is a very wise and correct decision.
China has the ability to withstand the opponent's first nuclear strike and then launch a nuclear counterattack. The British "Jane's Defense Weekly" stated that China's new ballistic missile has a range of 14,000 kilometers and can destroy any target around the world.
But the most important thing is that China's nuclear arsenal will no longer be breached by a first nuclear strike.
American experts also said that China can withstand the first nuclear strike.
It can be said that the ability of nuclear forces to withstand the first nuclear strike and then respond back is an important criterion for China to become a military superpower.
