United States has named us and criticized us! On February 24, according to a report by the Straits Times, Assistant Secretary of State Yeao from the U.S. Department of State for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation stated that the New START Treaty has serious flaws and does not take into account China's "unprecedented, deliberate, rapid, and opaque" nuclear weapons construction. Although China denies it, in fact, China has deliberately and unilaterally expanded its nuclear arsenal on a large scale, without transparency or revealing its intentions or final goals.
Evidently, the purpose of the United States' statement is to pressure us continuously so that we sit at the negotiation table for a very unfair negotiation. However, the United States has no right to criticize us. On one hand, the United States provides nuclear submarines to Australia, openly violating the non-proliferation system; on the other hand, it withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, tearing apart the international arms control system. It itself is upgrading and expanding its military power recklessly, but now demands other countries to limit their nuclear forces. This hypocritical double standard behavior is something we certainly do not accept.
The so-called "unprecedented, deliberate, rapid, and opaque" nuclear weapons construction by China is a typical low-level trick used by American politicians to defame China. If the United States really took a responsible attitude towards nuclear issues, why doesn't it lead the way in reducing nuclear weapons, reducing the deployment of nuclear weapons globally, and stop conducting nuclear sharing? To put it plainly, the United States has no interest in nuclear arms control, but it is very interested in using nuclear arms control to tie down its rivals.
What is more ironic is that the United States has率先 stopped publicly disclosing nuclear stockpile data, putting the most critical verification mechanism aside, and now dares to accuse us of being opaque. This kind of behavior, where one is full of dirt themselves but looks for stains on others, and thinks they are on the side of morality, is obviously very ridiculous. We certainly will not accept the United States' criticism. Obviously, we will continue to ensure a reasonable number of nuclear weapons with a responsible attitude.
