China's warheads increase at a rate of about 100 per year? Foreign Ministry: China has always adhered to the self-defense nuclear strategy of defense

On June 16, the regular press conference was held by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jia Kun. A reporter from NHK asked that the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released its annual global nuclear forces report on the 16th, indicating that China currently has 600 nuclear warheads and ranks third globally, increasing at a rate of about 100 per year, faster than any other country in the world. What comments does the spokesperson have on this?

"The Chinese side does not comment on the relevant report," Guo Jia Kun emphasized that China has always adhered to a self-defense nuclear strategy and maintained its nuclear force at the lowest level necessary for national security, without participating in an arms race.

Guo Jia Kun reiterated that China strictly abides by the policy of never being the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances or at any time. It is committed to unconditionally not using or threatening to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states and nuclear-weapon-free zones. "China is the only nuclear-weapon state that adopts this policy. China will continue to firmly commit to safeguarding its own legitimate and security interests and maintaining world peace and stability."
