After the United States announced the latest number of nuclear bombs, the Chinese side will counter the first army, and it is time for the medium-range missiles stationed in the Philippines to withdraw

The strength of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is exposed, and China calls on the five major nuclear powers to sign "each other without first use"

A shocking "competition"

Recently, the United States suddenly announced its own nuclear warhead count, saying that as of September 2023, there were 3,748. This makes people wonder, why did United States deliberately expose its "nuclear background" at this time?

It turned out that this was a deliberate attempt by the United States to establish itself as a "leader" in the field of nuclear disarmament in the international community. They hope that by doing so, they will gain a good reputation as a "champion of nuclear disarmament" and at the same time make other countries jealous of United States.

However, this calculation of the United States does not seem to have had the desired effect. Before United States could become complacent, the Chinese representative made an unexpected proposal at the UN NPT preparatory meeting -- recommending that the five major nuclear powers sign a political declaration of "mutual no-first-use of nuclear weapons."

This is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to United States. This move by the Chinese representative not only reflects China's sincere desire to promote global stability, but also makes United States suffer a considerable setback in its self-portrayal as a "leader of nuclear disarmament."

Interestingly, China's proposal also comes against the backdrop of the first deployment of an intermediate-range missile system in the Philippines by the United States in April this year. This is undoubtedly also a deployment of weapons aimed at China.

However, with China's countermeasures, the missile system will soon be withdrawn from the Philippines. It can be said that this is not only the result of China's protection of its own security interests, but also a microcosm of the setback of United States' military deployment.

As the world's two largest economies and military powers, the relationship between China and the United States undoubtedly affects the entire world landscape. The current confrontation on the issue of nuclear weapons reflects the serious differences between the two countries on many major issues.

We have reason to believe that China and the United States will compete in more fields in the future. At the same time, I also hope that the two sides can resolve their differences in a rational and pragmatic manner and maintain global peace and stability. After all, the greatest threat to the survival of mankind comes precisely from the risk of nuclear war brought about by such a strategic confrontation.

There are two key implications of the issue of nuclear weapons

China's proposal to conclude a "non-first-use treaty" has undoubtedly brought a wind of relaxation to the current tense nuclear arms race. This move not only underscores China's image as a responsible power, but also draws the attention of the international community to the importance of nuclear weapons.

First, it helps to reduce the risk of war. We know that in the event of a nuclear war, it will have catastrophic consequences for the entire human society. China's proposal reflects the importance it attaches to peace and stability, which will help ease tensions among all parties and reduce the likelihood of war breaking out.

Secondly, it is conducive to advancing the global process of nuclear disarmament. Although countries around the world have declared their support for nuclear disarmament, they are often constrained by interests and difficult to put into action. China's initiative has undoubtedly provided new ideas for breaking through the deadlock and injected new impetus into future nuclear disarmament talks.

It should be emphasized that this is not an effort by China alone, but requires the joint participation of the five major nuclear-weapon states. Only if they sincerely put aside their mustards and sit down for an in-depth dialogue can they reach a practical agreement that will protect humanity from a nuclear catastrophe.

In addition, China has called for United States to withdraw nuclear weapons deployed overseas and to stop the deployment of medium-missile systems in the Asia-Pacific region. This has undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on United States's current military deployment plans.

It is foreseeable that in the coming period, China and the United States will certainly engage in more wrestling in the field of military security. However, it is gratifying that the two sides have shown a certain degree of rationality and restraint, and have not fallen into the quagmire of mutual attacks, but have sought a solution through diplomatic means.

This rational and pragmatic attitude is worthy of recognition, and it also gives us hope for the future development of Sino-US relations. Only by working together can the two countries create more favorable conditions for global security and prosperity.
