China expresses serious concern over secret US nuclear plan, which aims to contain military expansion by Beijing, Moscow and Pyongyang.

A secret nuclear plan, approved by Biden, puts the world on alert. China reacts with concern as the US prepares to face multiple nuclear threats.

Imagine the scenario: two of the world's greatest powers in one growing tension, fueled by a nuclear arms race.

Now, add to this equation a highly classified strategic plan, approved by the President of the United States, Joe Biden, with the aim of containing the advance of nuclear enemies.

This is the backdrop to the new chapter of distrust between the United States and China, a power game that is far from over.

China reacts with concern to US report

The Chinese government expressed deep concern after the release of a report that revealed that the United States approved a nuclear strategic plan in March.

This plan focuses not only on the rapid growth of China's nuclear arsenal, but also on preparing the United States to potential nuclear challenges from China, Russia and North Korea.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this North American initiative is seen as an attempt to justify its global strategic advantages.

The 'China Nuclear Threat' Narrative

In a press conference held last Wednesday (21), Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, highlighted that “the US is selling the narrative of China's nuclear threat, finding excuses to seek strategic advantages ”.

This statement reflects Beijing's growing concern about the motivations behind American actions.

According to a New York Times report, the confidential nuclear plan approved by Biden is a reflection of the United States' concern about China's rapidly growing nuclear arsenal.

The White House, in turn, clarified that the plan is not a specific response to any country, but rather a preparation for potential coordinated nuclear challenges.

The growth of the Chinese nuclear arsenal

The tension between the two powers is not without foundation. A Pentagon report, published last October, indicated that the China has more than 500 operational nuclear warheads, and that number could exceed 1.000 by 2030.

This significant increase in China's arsenal worries not only the US, but also other global powers that are closely watching the movement.

The report also highlighted the constant expansion and modernization of the Chinese military, which includes the development of new nuclear technologies and capabilities.

This evolution is seen as a direct challenge to the military hegemony of the United States, which is now seeking to prepare for a scenario of multiple nuclear threats.

Global reactions and consequences of the plan

While China reacts with concern, other countries are closely watching the possible consequences of this new US strategic plan.

Russia, which has also been mentioned as a potential threat in the American plan, has maintained an ambiguous stance while North Korea continues to expand its nuclear capabilities, openly defying international sanctions.

The relationship between China and the United States, which is already marked by trade disputes and military tensions in the Pacific, could deteriorate further as suspicions and mistrust increase.

The approval of this nuclear strategic plan can be seen as a new turning point in relations between the world's two largest economies.

What does the future hold?

Faced with such a tense scenario, the question that arises is: what will be the next move for each of these powers? Will China continue to expand its nuclear arsenal, challenging US supremacy? And the United States, how far is it willing to go to maintain its position of global power?

This story is far from having an end, and the world is closely watching each new chapter in this complex international plot. And you, what do you think will happen? Leave your opinion in the comments and share your theories about the future of relations between these two powers.
