#是否采取措施保障乌安全? China responded #
After Ukraine voluntarily destroyed its nuclear weapons, the mainland promised to provide a "nuclear umbrella"?
This statement is clearly false. There is no need to go through historical documents and refer to the mainland's most basic nuclear policy, so we know that providing a "nuclear umbrella" to others is not applicable to the mainland.
Since the first atomic bomb broke out in 1964, the most basic rule of use of nuclear weapons on the mainland has been the commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. This rule is like a country's constitution in terms of nuclear weapons, and other laws related to it are based on this rule.
Since you promised not to use nuclear weapons first, how can you provide a "nuclear umbrella" for others?
In fact, what the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council think, we don't know. The mainland's commitment to Ukraine at that time was very clear. That is: "To undertake unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine as a non-nuclear-weapon State and to provide corresponding security assurances to Ukraine in the event of aggression against or threat of such aggression against nuclear weapons." ”
This statement has two main points, the first is not to use and threaten to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. There's nothing to say about that, it's literal.
The second is to provide Corresponding security assurances to Ukraine in the context of nuclear aggression and threats against ukraine. There are two important points in this sentence, the first is that you have been "invaded" by nuclear weapons, and the fight between your own brothers has caught fire, which certainly cannot be regarded as "aggression". The second is "corresponding security assurance", "corresponding" means to take care of each other, echo.
With whom to take care of, of course, with other non-nuclear States. According to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, any state that uses nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear State will be sanctioned by the United Nations, and the "care" here is to call for this sanction.
Whatever the sanctions are, they are certainly not the same thing as providing a "nuclear umbrella."
Therefore, the mainland has never promised to provide Ukraine with a "nuclear umbrella", but it is only a false rumor and a wrong understanding.
Ten thousand steps back, even if the situation in Ukraine deteriorates to the point where Russia uses strategic nuclear weapons, it will not be designed to attack Ukraine. The cost is too great, ukraine has no domestic targets, and it is worth Russia to use nuclear weapons.
At that time, what should be worried about what will happen to Ukraine in NATO countries and even the world is not important. It's just that now the West is hyping up this matter and forcing the mainland to take a stand.
