The Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, who was sanctioned by our side, wrote last night (Beijing time on March 9) "China seems to be preparing for a nuclear war and may even win it. The United States needs to update its military posture and forces to ensure that this never happens."
[Clever] Comment: Is China preparing for a nuclear war? China has not launched any war in the past 40 years, while the United States bombed several countries within a year. If anyone is preparing, it should be the one who has already pulled the trigger. Tom Cotton's remarks clearly reflect the hypocrisy and hegemonic logic of the U.S., which is a ridiculous and baseless smear. China has always adhered to a defensive nuclear strategy, abiding by the commitment of not being the first to use nuclear weapons. Its nuclear forces are solely for self-defense. In contrast, the United States frequently resorts to foreign military actions. Recently, it illegally bombed Iran, continuously upgraded its nuclear arsenal, and promoted a nuclear deterrence policy, which is the greatest threat to global nuclear security. Cotton's deliberate exaggeration of the "Chinese nuclear threat" is actually an excuse for the U.S. to expand its military and maintain its hegemony.
