"Nuclear crisis in space: Russia plans to detonate a nuclear bomb? China's emergency response demanded that it be stopped"
Russia, space, nuclear bombs ?! It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, but it is the message that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken personally revealed to China! Yes, you heard it right, it's real, not the script of some sci-fi movie.
At the Munich Security Conference, Blinken warned that Russia's plans to deploy nuclear weapons in space, and possibly even detonate a nuclear bomb for testing, would pose a serious threat to the satellites of the United States and its allies. To this end, he urgently made a request to China and India, hoping that they would stop this dangerous move by Russia.
However, the Chinese side did not mention this information in the press release issued after the meeting, showing its indifference to Blinken's request. After all, China has always insisted on the peaceful use of space, not an arms race. Blinken's call does not appear to have been heeded by China.
Russia, for its part, quickly denied the accusations made by the United States, saying that the United States was maliciously fabricating facts in an attempt to blame Russia for its disliked behavior. They are asking the United States to provide evidence, but the United States is still talking about it.
The controversy over the deployment of nuclear weapons in space is not limited to the United States and Russia. The accusations in the United States first came from a member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, and then the White House committee joined the accusations. However, from a technical point of view, the power of nuclear warheads in space is not as terrible as one might think.
At the same time, the United States itself is actively engaged in an arms race in space, trying to occupy a greater position of superiority in space. Not only did they create a Space Force, but they are also developing a new generation of anti-missile early warning satellite systems, and they are proposing a ban on certain types of anti-satellites at the United Nations in an attempt to limit the actions of other countries.
This space arms race has become a major focus on the international political arena. In this process, China, as a country that advocates the peaceful use of space resources, plays an indispensable role. China has always advocated the demilitarization of space, but at the same time, it will not be swayed by pressure from other countries.
Overall, Blinken's plea may seem imbued with a sense of justice, but there may be more complex political calculations behind it. For China, it is the wisest choice to remain calm and stick to principles. Space should not become a military arena for any country, but a field for mankind to explore together.
