On the afternoon of June 27, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Senior Colonel Wu Qian, Director General of the Information Office of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters.

A reporter asked: According to reports, the NATO Secretary General said that due to growing threats from Russia and China, NATO is discussing the issue of taking some missiles out of storage and putting them on standby. He also said that China is investing heavily in modernized weapons, including nuclear weapons. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

Wu Qian responded that NATO, disregarding the facts, has hyped up a nonexistent "China nuclear threat," which China firmly opposes. In recent years, NATO has continuously enhanced the role of nuclear weapons in its collective security policy, strengthened "nuclear sharing" arrangements, and upgraded and updated U.S. nuclear weapons deployed in NATO countries, increasing the risks of nuclear arms races and nuclear conflicts, which will surely be firmly opposed by the international community. We demand that NATO stop spreading false narratives, stop nuclear blackmail and nuclear coercion, and not go further down the wrong path.
