8月29日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發(fā)言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：據(jù)報道，美國總統(tǒng)拜登今年3月批準了一項高度機密的核戰(zhàn)略計劃，該戰(zhàn)略在中國核武庫增加背景下首次提到遏制中國的計劃。美方還稱2026年2月美俄《新削減戰(zhàn)略武器條約》到期后將大幅擴充戰(zhàn)略核武庫，以同時應對來自俄羅斯、中國、伊朗、朝鮮等擁核國家的挑戰(zhàn)。請問發(fā)言人有何評論？

Question: It’s reported that US President Biden approved in March a highly classified nuclear strategy that, for the first time, reoriented America’s nuclear deterrent strategy toward the so-called “expanding nuclear arsenal of China”. The US side also said that it would dramatically expand its strategic nuclear arsenal starting from February 2026, when the US-Russia New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) would expire, so as to simultaneously counter challenges posed by nuclear-weapon states including Russia, China, Iran and the DPRK. Do you have any comment?

吳謙：中方堅決反對美方以不存在的“中國核威脅論”為借口，擴張核武庫，推卸自己的核裁軍責任。中國堅定奉行自衛(wèi)防御的核戰(zhàn)略，始終將核力量維持在國家安全需要的最低水平。眾所周知，美國擁有全球最大核武庫，堅持以首先使用核武器為基礎的核威懾政策。近年來還投入巨資推動核武器小型化實戰(zhàn)化，在核擴散問題上大搞“雙重標準”，嚴重威脅全球戰(zhàn)略穩(wěn)定。我們敦促美方摒棄冷戰(zhàn)思維，進一步大幅、實質(zhì)削減核武庫，停止搞“核共享”、“延伸威懾”、“核聯(lián)盟”，以實際行動促進世界的和平與穩(wěn)定。

Wu Qian: China firmly opposes the US expanding its nuclear arsenal and shirking responsibilities for nuclear disarmament under the pretext of the non-existent “China nuclear threat”. China pursues a nuclear strategy of self-defense, and keeps its nuclear force at the minimum level required for national security. It is known to all that the US is in possession of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, and it follows a nuclear policy that allows first-use of nuclear weapons. In recent years, the US has invested heavily to miniaturize nuclear weapons for real combat, exercised “double standard” on nuclear proliferation, which severely threatens global strategic stability. We urge the US to abandon Cold-War mentality, further reduce its nuclear arsenal in a substantive manner, stop proliferating nuclear material and technology, refrain from extending nuclear deterrence or expanding nuclear alliance, and take concrete actions to promote global strategic stability.
