China’s new nuclear weapons

They don’t even have any! They’ve built a bunch of silos, which most experts believe are empty and will be for some time. They’ve tested a hypersonic vehicle, but it’s currently (as far as anyone knows) not armed with a nuclear warhead.

But the western media will exaggerate and lie.

China almost certainly is interested in sharpening the edge of their nuclear deterrent, and rightfully so, obviously. There is zero indication that they want to build an offensive, first strike-capable nuclear force. They continue to have a No First-Use policy, which the US does not. The NYT will bury that fact at the end of any relevant article they write on the topic.

Thanks for the reality check. You do realize I was using Xi’s nukes as an existential blanket? Jerk.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
