The Chinese Foreign Ministry released on Monday the national report of China on the implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The ministry’s spokesperson said on the same day that China’s nuclear policy has injected stability and certainty into the world.
At present, profound changes unseen in a century are unfolding across the world at a faster pace, and the global strategic security landscape is undergoing profound shifts. Cold War mentality, hegemonism and bullying have seen a resurgence, according to the report published on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
The law of the jungle and gunboat diplomacy have re-emerged, exacerbating regional conflicts and arms races, eroding the international arms control and non-proliferation regime, and posing a severe threat to global strategic stability. Certain countries pursue absolute strategic superiority, stoke bloc confrontation, willfully resort to the use of force, and arbitrarily withdraw from international treaties and mechanisms, which have become the primary source of chaos undermining international order and fueling global turbulence, per the report. The report noted that the Chinese government has consistently advocated the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons.
