China News / 'We will not use nuclear weapons first' - Neighboring country expressed commitment

China News: India's neighboring country China recently launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which raised many questions globally. On Thursday, China clarified that its nuclear policy is stable and consistent, and it strictly adheres to the policy of 'no first use of nuclear weapons'. Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for China's Ministry of National Defense, said that China follows a nuclear strategy of self-defense and will use nuclear weapons only to ensure its own security.

Strict adherence to the policy of first use of nuclear weapons

Spokesman Zhang Xiaogang said in a press conference, "China's nuclear policy is very clear and stable. We follow the policy of not using nuclear weapons first." This statement comes at a time when China has recently tested ICBM. The spokesperson also clarified that China has promised that it will never use nuclear weapons against nuclear-weapon-free countries or nuclear-weapon-free zones, nor will it make such a threat.

Nuclear capability for national security

Zhang Xiaogang said that China will maintain its nuclear capabilities at the level necessary for national security. He also pointed out that the ICBM test was in line with international laws and standards and was not aimed at any particular country. However, China's move is being viewed with some concern in the international community, especially at a time when the need to ensure global security and peace is being emphasized.

China's attitude on ICBM launch

Regarding the ICBM launch conducted on Wednesday, China has confirmed its missile test in the Pacific Ocean. The Rocket Force of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) also published four pictures of the missile being fired. This move is considered unusual for China, as it had not previously made public pictures of its intercontinental ballistic missiles. Despite this, China has described this launch as a normal exercise under its security strategy and has not described it as focused on any particular target.

Global concerns and China's stance

Many countries have become alert due to this move of China. Although China has clarified that this test was not against any particular country, the global community is keeping an eye on its growing nuclear capabilities. The US, India, and other major powers have taken note of China's activity. Although China has repeatedly stressed that its nuclear policy is based on 'defense', its growing military and nuclear capabilities are raising questions about the regional balance.

Conclusion

China has clarified its position by saying that its recent ICBM test and nuclear weapons policy are in line with international security standards. China's policy is based on 'no first use', but its growing military activities and nuclear weapons capability have also raised concerns on the international stage. At a time when the need for global peace and stability has become more important than ever, China's move can be seen in different countries regarding contemplation and reactions.
