China: America is the biggest nuclear threat to the world.
According to Rashatodi, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang accused the US of trying to maintain hegemony by making “irresponsible decisions” and emphasized that Washington is the biggest danger to the world when it comes to a possible nuclear war.
The sharp statements of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of China have been made in response to the Pentagon’s decision to establish a new command headquarters under the command of a three-star general in Japan. The US Department of Defense informed this issue in late July after a joint meeting of US and Japanese foreign policy and defense officials.
Xiaogang stressed that Washington and Tokyo used what he called “China’s military threat” to justify the move. He says such actions “will only lead to the confrontation of the bloc and the weakening of peace and stability in the region.”
In the July Pentagon statement, “China’s nuclear arsenal expansion” was mentioned as one of the topics raised in the “Deterrence Umbrella Expansion Meeting”.
According to the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Defense, “America is the biggest nuclear threat to the world because it has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal and follows the policy of preemptive use of nuclear weapons.”
In the latest US National Defense Strategy document published by the Pentagon in 2022, along with the revision of the nuclear arrangement and missile defense, Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran were named as four possible enemies for planning nuclear weapons! In this strategy, the Pentagon also reserved the right to preemptively use nuclear weapons to prevent an attack with “conventional” weapons! This claim has been made about Iran while Tehran has always emphasized the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
Zhang emphasized: that America’s irresponsible decisions and actions have led to an increase in nuclear risks, and this country’s efforts to maintain its hegemony and intimidate the world with atomic forces have been completely revealed. The latest action of this country in Japan has only led to the escalation of regional tensions and increased the risk of proliferation and nuclear war.
