China reaffirms nuclear stance amid Iran arms reports
The Chinese Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to its nuclear policy, emphasizing that its arsenal is limited to the minimum necessary for deterrence and defense. It justified this stance by arguing that it aims to maintain strategic stability and prevent an arms race. The ministry denied reports suggesting that China plans to supply Iran with surface-to-air missiles, stating that such reports are unfounded and support peaceful solutions. Estimates indicate that China has possessed a nuclear arsenal since 1964 and is rapidly modernizing its nuclear forces in an effort to compete with the United States, stressing that its objectives are solely deterrence, not threats or aggression.
