America has made serious allegations against China, saying that it had conducted a secret nuclear test just a few days after the Galwan conflict. Tension has increased between the two countries after the allegations made by the US. Now China has also reacted regarding this.
America told that on June 22, 2020, China had conducted a secret nuclear test. This incident took place a few days after the deadly clash in Galwan Valley, in which 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives.
China tried to hide nuclear testing: America
America has made these allegations against China regarding nuclear testing in the Disarmament Conference of Geneva. US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas Dinano said that I can tell that America is aware of the nuclear test conducted by China. The Chinese military tried to conceal the nuclear explosion because they knew that these tests violated commitments on prohibited activities.
Dinano has said that America’s nuclear weapons remained subject to the limits of the Nuclear Treaty. At the same time, only a small part of Russia’s huge reserves was restricted. Also, not a single nuclear weapon of China was covered in the New START treaty. He reiterated America’s long-standing demand for strategic stability and arms control.
What did China say on America’s claim?
There has also been a reaction from China on the claim made by the US. China has not given a direct reply to the allegations made by America. Chinese Ambassador Shen Jian said that China has noted that the US is exaggerating the so-called China nuclear threat in its statement. China strongly opposes such false allegations. America is the biggest culprit in the arms race.
Dinano had said that China will have more than a thousand nuclear weapons by 2030, on which Shen Jian said that his country will not participate in this new conversation between America and Russia. We have a small part of the number of weapons. Around 600 while Russia and America have around 4 thousand.
What is New START Treaty?
The New START treaty was signed between America and Russia. In this, both the countries had agreed to limit the deployment of missiles and warheads. In 2010, this treaty was signed by President Barack Obama and Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev. In this, both sides had banned keeping more than 700 missiles and 1550 nuclear warheads on bombers. This treaty was scheduled to expire in 2021, but it was extended for five years.
