Hey everyone! The Chinese mainland just said "thanks, but no thanks" to joining nuclear disarmament talks between the U.S. and Russia. 🚀💥
At a recent press conference in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said it's "neither reasonable nor realistic" to invite the Chinese mainland into these talks.
The main reasons? The Chinese mainland points out that its nuclear arsenal is much smaller than the U.S.'s, and it follows a strict "no first use" policymeaning nukes are only for self-defense. They keep their stockpile at the minimum level needed to stay secure, with no arms race in sight.
For young pros from Mumbai to Manila, this move shakes up what many thought was an open door for the Chinese mainland in global nuclear talks. 🌏
Guo added that the Chinese mainland's approach actually contributes to global peace by maintaining a balanced strategy. Any future cuts will happen on its own terms, ensuring both security and stability.
Stay tuned as the U.S. and Russia continue their chats, and watch how the nuclear landscape evolves! ✌️
