Although the fox did not appear, it was no longer patient. Recently, Japan's mainstream right-leaning newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun revealed a remarkable news: during US President Joe Biden's visit, China and the United States will hold consultations on China's nuclear issue. Once Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Biden finish talking, the United States and Japan will release a joint statement on the 23rd. In the statement, the United States and Japan will jointly call on China to increase transparency in its nuclear forces and urge China to actively participate in nuclear disarmament.
The implication is that Japan's request is to find out the size of China's nuclear arsenal and how many warheads China possesses.
Although China is one of the world's five recognized nuclear-weapon states, its nuclear arsenal is still inadequately large compared to the United States and Russia. Maintaining such a huge nuclear arsenal requires enormous resources, which is not only detrimental to the country's economy and people's livelihood, but also inconsistent with the original intention of maintaining global peace. In addition, there are differences in the nuclear deterrence strategies of various nuclear States. For countries with many nuclear weapons such as the United States and Russia, nuclear deterrence can be based on quantity, and they can show their nuclear background without confidentiality, and quantity is strength; Countries with relatively limited nuclear weapons, like Britain and France, can rely on U.S. nuclear deterrence to boost self-confidence. And for a country like China with limited nuclear weapons and delicate relations with the West, maintaining the secrecy of its nuclear arsenal is crucial.
For a long time, although China rarely publicly disclosed the size of its nuclear arsenal, Western academics generally believe that China's number of nuclear warheads is relatively small. At the same time, China has always adhered to the principle of "sufficient is good" and solemnly promised not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, nor to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states. Despite this weapon, China has always adhered to the gentleman's way, and it is difficult to find a second nuclear power like China.
Ironically, despite the relatively small size of China's nuclear arsenal, strict adherence to its nuclear commitments has become a focus of concern for the United States and Japan. If it were not for the pressure of Biden's visit, or the audacity of the old fox Fumio Kishida, it is difficult to imagine that Japan would have confronted China so openly.
The gentleman is cautious, but even if he holds a sword, it is difficult to change the stereotype of Xiaoxiao. Quality and quantity are not interchangeable concepts, especially in the field of nuclear construction. If Japan wants China to increase transparency in its nuclear forces and to carry out nuclear disarmament, the only way to do that is for China to first increase the size of its nuclear arsenal to a level comparable to that of the United States and Russia. If Japan is willing to contribute financial efforts to accelerate this process, more progress may be made.
If Japan is reluctant to contribute, but is still eager to understand the size of China's nuclear arsenal, it could consider using its own territory to measure it. After all, in 1945, the United States once dropped "fat boys" and "little boys" in Japan, making Japan a nuclear power in a very short time. If Japan is thirsty for knowledge, China may be able to help Japan look back on that passionate history, if conditions permit.
Summary:
The discussion between the United States and Japan on China's nuclear issue has aroused widespread concern. Despite its responsible nuclear attitude, China has come under scrutiny. In the international community, the quality and transparency of nuclear forces are becoming increasingly important, which requires enhanced dialogue and cooperation among States. Both the questions raised by Japan and China's response reflect the complexity and sensitivity of the nuclear issue. It is hoped that in the future, all countries will work together for nuclear disarmament and the realization of global peace on the basis of frank dialogue.
