国内英语资讯:Commentary: Washingtons reverse on nuclear strategy harms security interests of all

As a result, the world's nuclear non-proliferation regime is going to face more major challenges, and the possibility of a global nuclear arms race would increase.

Meanwhile, the NPR is a flagrant display of Cold War mentality. In the review, Washington tags Moscow and Beijing as main factors that have posed "challenges" to Washington and contribute to "a more diverse and advanced nuclear-threat environment."

Such accusations are groundless. China has adhered to the policy of no-first-use of nuclear weapons under all circumstances. It has also pledged not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones.

China has always exercised the utmost restraint in the development of nuclear weapons and limited its nuclear capabilities to the minimum level required for national security.

By ringing a false nuclear alarm in the review, Washington is merely trying to find excuses to seek absolute nuclear supremacy.

Yet the Trump administration needs to understand that, instead of making itself safer, more nuclear weapons would only bring to it more security risks.

For decades, major countries have endeavored to reduce global nuclear stockpiles in hopes of forestalling a human catastrophe.

It is vital that, rather than undercut the efforts, Washington should stop backtracking on its nuclear policy, follow the trend of the times, and work with the rest of the international community to truly reduce the nuclear threat facing the humankind.
