Trying to make China lose 95% of its ballistic missiles at once, Hua Chunying fires back with a strong counterattack

According to the Global Times reported on June 9, local time on June 8, the U.S. presidential envoy for arms control affairs Billingsley said on social media, "the United States and Russia have agreed on the time and place for a new round of nuclear arms control talks, and we have also invited China," the statement immediately caused a high degree of international media attention. 

Trying To Make China Lose 95% of its ballistic Missiles, Hua Chunying Fires Back With a Strong Counterattack

alienmilitary - In 1987, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Ballistic Missile (INF) Treaty, which bans all ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of 500-5,500 kilometers, in order to limit their near- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles. 

Despite the treaty's objectively significant contribution to world peace, the ballistic and cruise missiles it has eliminated represent only 5 percent of the U.S. and Soviet missile armament. Moreover, the United States side withdrew from the Treaty in August 2019.

In fact, the U.S. side suddenly pulled China into the trilateral negotiations in order, on the one hand, to shrug off the responsibility for delaying the nuclear arms talks to the Chinese side. On the other hand, it is making a small plan to contain the Chinese side. An analysis published by the US defense website on June 6 reveals the sinister intentions of some US politicians to the fullest. 

The article, titled "The End of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty: Implications for Asia," bluntly states that China will lose 95 percent of its ballistic and cruise missiles at once if it signs a bilateral INF Treaty similar to the U.S.-Russian one. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a leading U.S. think tank, bluntly points out that the range of China's current main missiles in service is precisely within the INF limits.

The U.S. is trying to limit China's conventional missile power when the size of its nuclear arsenal is considerably ahead of China's, and its intentions are too malicious. At a regular foreign ministry press conference on June 9, Chinese spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, "China has repeatedly made clear its position that it has no intention of participating in the so-called 'China-US-Russia trilateral arms control negotiations. At the same time, she also fired off a firestorm, pointing out that over the past two years, the United States has withdrawn from a series of bilateral or multilateral systems such as the Iran nuclear deal, the INF Treaty and the Open Skies Treaty.

The U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Affairs Drew Waters also said in late May that the United States is considering resuming underground nuclear tests. Hua Chunying said "to hear an official from such a country talk about sincere negotiations gives one a very absurd and unrealistic feeling." This statement is undoubtedly the best counterpoint to the hypocritical double standard face of some US politicians.
