Chinese expert warns of US nuclear strategy risk
Chinese military expert Zhang Junshi warns that the new U.S. nuclear strategy could lead to increased risks of global instability and fuel a new nuclear arms race, especially with Washington expanding the use of short-range tactical nuclear weapons in regional conflicts. He emphasizes that lowering the threshold for nuclear use diminishes deterrence effectiveness and raises the likelihood of escalation, potentially prompting other nuclear powers to bolster their armament programs and risking limited conflicts escalating into broader nuclear wars. These warnings come in tandem with American reports indicating that the Department of Defense is preparing to adopt a more flexible nuclear strategy by 2026, which includes the use of low-yield tactical nuclear weapons to deter potential confrontations with Russia and China.
