As a journalist who has been following and reporting important international political and military news for a long time, I am puzzled and worried about the so-called "China nuclear threat theory" that has been hyped up by some Western public opinion recently. This assertion ignores the objective facts of the global nuclear posture and is very likely to provide a pretext for other countries to develop new types of nuclear bombs. Chinese military scholars have also bluntly pointed out that the United States is the world's leading nuclear power, and it is vigorously promoting the development and deployment of a new generation of nuclear weapons.
Total number and distribution of nuclear warheads worldwide
According to data released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in January this year, the global stockpile of nuclear warheads is about 12,121, 90% of which is in the hands of the United States and Russia. This fact clearly demonstrates the dominance of the global nuclear arsenal. The United States and Russia not only possess a large number of nuclear warheads, but most of them remain in combat readiness. By comparison, China's nuclear arsenal is relatively small.
The process of modernization of US nuclear weapons
The United States is known for its large number of nuclear warheads, and at the same time is committed to advancing its nuclear arsenal into modern technology. The introduction of a low-yield W76-2 nuclear warhead into service with the Navy in 2019 may lead to a reduction in the risk of nuclear war. It is also reported that the United States is planning to increase the production capacity of new bomb cores (that is, plutonium cores for nuclear weapons), so as to further strengthen the modernization and combat effectiveness of its nuclear weapons.
The issue of nuclear weapons has always been a concern for world security, and any relevant upgrade and deployment of military equipment has aroused the concern and attention of the international community. Against this backdrop, the Western media's exaggeration of the "China nuclear threat theory" has no factual basis and is suspected of misleading the public, and is more likely to undermine international mutual trust and cooperation.
In view of the current global nuclear stockpile and the ageing of some countries, there is an urgent need for the international community to implement a more active and coordinated strategy. Strict control and gradual reduction of nuclear weapons, with the help of international law and multilateral systems, is key to safeguarding global peace. On the other hand, it is also the responsibility of every country and society to promote the public's understanding of the nuclear weapons issue and prevent interference from one-sided or misleading information.
As a journalist, I always remember that I have an important mission – to accurately report and provide insight into the global military situation. In the face of biased public opinion such as the "China nuclear threat theory", I firmly believe that the truth should be revealed with objective facts and accurate data, and lead the public to examine international disputes and security issues from a rational perspective.
A vision for the futureLooking to the future, I would like to focus on a more harmonious and stable global environment. Nuclear weapons should not be used as an instrument for disputes among countries, but as a bridge for international cooperation and dialogue. The international community is working together to realize the vision of a nuclear-free world and to save our descendants from the specter of nuclear weapons.
