February** Dynamic Incentive Program
Wen Junjian. According to a report by Huanqiu.com, the 60th Munich Security Conference in Germany set up a "special session for China", and Wang Yi delivered a speech on behalf of the Chinese side and responded to some questions. There was a reference to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as to the Budapest Memorandum. In this regard, Wang Yi also made a clear statement.
Wang Yi delivered a speech).
Wang Yi pointed out that China is not a party to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and did not participate in the signing of the memorandum. But Wang Yi emphasized two pointsFirst, China adheres to the principle of "no first use of nuclear weapons", and China's nuclear bombs will not be used to attack non-nuclear countries such as Ukraine – nuclear weapons cannot be used, and nuclear war cannot be fought, which is China's consistent position. Second, China will not do anything like watching the fire from across the strait or fishing in troubled waters, and China actively promotes talks and hopes that peace will be achieved in Ukraine as soon as possible.
Wang Yi said) Wang Yi talked about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, why did he mention nuclear **, and stressed that China will not attack Ukraine with nuclear **, who is this talking about? In fact, there is a background to the signing of the "Budapest Memorandum", that is, Ukraine has destroyed its nuclear weapons and joined the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" to become a non-nuclear state. The "Memorandum" also mentions relevant matters, and it is normal for China, as a party to nuclear non-proliferation, to take a position on the issue of nuclear non-proliferation.
Russia-Ukraine conflict) Now the United States has an argument that if Ukraine had not been allowed to give up 1,000 nuclear bombs back then, Russia would not have dared to attack. This view is actually untenable, because the collapse of the Soviet Union caused many countries to have nuclear weapons, but these small countries, including Ukraine, simply cannot afford to raise and hold nuclear **. What's more, the root cause of the Ukraine crisis lies in the fact that the United States is pushing for NATO's eastward expansion, sowing the seeds of turmoil in Ukraine.
Ukraine destroyed nuclear **) in that year
Before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the five nuclear-weapon states had already reached an agreement on the issue of nuclear war, that is, they resolutely could not fight. However, it has been nearly 2 years since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and there are still many voices of "nuclear war" in the middle. For example, in 2022, former British Prime Minister Truss threatened to press the nuclear ** button, and the UK's nuclear threat also triggered a fierce reaction from Russia; And in 2023, the Guardian hyped that the US nuclear ** would return to the UK after 15 years, and Russia also warned at the time that it would retaliate.
American B-61 tactical nuclear bombs deployed in Europe).
The recent NATO "Staunch Defender" military exercise is also simulating a large-scale war with the "enemy in the east", and there is no doubt that NATO's military exercise is also going in the direction of nuclear war. Because if NATO does come into conflict with Russia, it is likely to turn into a nuclear war. And according to the deduction of the United States, if a nuclear war breaks out between NATO and Russia, Europe will be the first to incur devastating consequences.
NATO military exercises) combined with the above, we can see how necessary Wang Yi's statement is. As a responsible major country, China has always been making efforts for world peace and development. But what did the Western countries do? The conflict between Russia and Ukraine does not seem to be enough for the United States, which is also stoking the fire on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, planning the Asianization of NATO, promoting confrontation on the East Asian Peninsula, and concocting an escalation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Wang Yi and Blinken met).
At the request of the United States, Wang Yi also met with Blinken at the "Mu'an meeting" and exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis and other issues. China has made it clear that it will not accept criticism or pressure from the US. The United States has taken the initiative to communicate, which can be regarded as a positive thing, but many problems lie in the United States itself, and it is actually the United States itself that should really take sincere action.
