He pointed out that in February 3rd, the United States Department of Defense issued the Nuclear Posture Review Report, which deliberately overestimated China's development intentions and exaggerated the threat of nuclear power in China.

China resolutely follows the road of peaceful development and firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy. We have always adhered to the policy of not using nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances. We have committed unequivocal commitments to the use or threat of nuclear weapons against non nuclear weapon states and nuclear weapon free zones. China has always taken an extremely restrained attitude towards the development of nuclear weapons and maintains its own nuclear power at the lowest level of national security needs.
The review of the nuclear situation should first take a correct view of the era. Peace and development are the irreversible trend of the world. The United States is a country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. It should take the initiative to comply with this trend, not the opposite. We hope that the United States will abandon the Cold War mentality, to assume its nuclear disarmament special and primary responsibility, the correct understanding of Chinese strategic intent, objective look at the Chinese of national defense and army building, with China towards the same direction, the military relations become stable factors of Sino US relations, jointly safeguard world and regional peace, stability and prosperity.
