The Global Times wrote that the US nuclear strategy threatens global strategic security and increases the risk of a third world war.
Commenting on the 2022 US Nuclear Posture Review, article author Kong Jun said: “Washington continues to shape the Cold War mentality and use nuclear deterrence as a geopolitical tool.”
He pointed out that the review shows that the current US administration rejects the policy of “no first use of nuclear weapons” and traditionally studies the possibility of launching a preemptive strike.
He stressed that “the US nuclear strategy undermines mutual trust between the major powers, and the United States has always played the role of the victim, exaggerating the nuclear threats from China and Russia.”
