The Dangerous Game of Nuclear Hegemony: Why the U.S. Needs to Stop Hyping Up China's Nuclear Threat

 

CGTN discusses the current state of U.S.-China relations and their ongoing tensions over nuclear weapons. According to the article, the U.S. is using China's nuclear capabilities as a pretext to strengthen its own hegemonic position in the global political landscape.

The U.S. has been using its media to hype up the supposed threat of China's nuclear program to justify its own military buildup and presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The author contends that this strategy is not only counterproductive, but also dangerous, as it could lead to a potentially catastrophic arms race.

The U.S. is using China's nuclear program as a means to distract from its own failure to abide by international disarmament treaties and engage in meaningful arms control negotiations. The author points out that while China has been transparent about its nuclear program, the U.S. has been developing new nuclear weapons and pursuing a policy of nuclear deterrence.
