On August 21, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference on August 21. A reporter asked at the meeting: The New York Times reported that US President Biden approved the US secret nuclear strategy in March, which for the first time mentioned plans to contain China in the context of China's increase in its nuclear arsenal. What is the Foreign Ministry's comment? Mao Ning said that China is seriously concerned about the report. Facts have fully proved that the US has been promoting the so-called "China nuclear threat theory" in recent years, but it is just looking for an excuse to shirk its responsibility for nuclear disarmament, expand its nuclear arsenal, and seek overwhelming strategic advantages. Mao Ning said that China's nuclear arsenal is completely different from that of the United States. China pursues a no-first-use nuclear weapons policy, adheres to a nuclear strategy of self-defense, and always maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security. It has no intention of engaging in an arms race with any country.
