The already tumultuous relationship between the United States and China might increase with the recent nuclear war threats from each country.
"We are facing a crisis deterrence dynamic right now that we have only seen a few times in our nation's history," Richard, who is head of the U.S. Strategic Command, said."The war in Ukraine and China's nuclear trajectory—their strategic breakout—demonstrates that we have a deterrence and assurance gap based on the threat of limited nuclear employment."
"China follows a self-defensive nuclear strategy and keeps its nuclear forces at the minimum level required to safeguard national security. We stay committed to no first use of nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and undertake unequivocally and unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones," Zhao said."This policy remains clear and consistent.
"Some individuals in the U.S. have been hyping up various versions of the so-called 'China nuclear threat,'" Zhao said."As is known to all, the U.S. is the biggest source of nuclear threat in the world."
