In a recent press briefing, China firmly pushed back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that it is secretly testing nuclear weapons. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized that China sticks to a self-defensive nuclear strategy and a strict no-first-use policy.
As a responsible nuclear-weapon state and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China supports the authority of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and has maintained its own moratorium on nuclear testing. Mao Ning called on the U.S. to honor its CTBT obligations and continue its own moratorium to strengthen global disarmament and non-proliferation efforts.
For China, nuclear safety is no joke – it’s all about keeping the peace and preventing an arms race. 🌏💥 Whether you’re a news junkie, a business guru, or a student researching international relations, this update shows how important global agreements like the CTBT are in today’s world. Stay curious, stay informed!
