Chinese People's Liberation Army Major General Zhu Chenghu warned that if the United States in the Taiwan Strait conflict, launched an armed attack to the Chinese, China is ready to use nuclear weapons to fight back to the United States. China's National Defense University was quoted as president of the General Zhu said: "If the United States will launch their missiles and position within the Chinese territory Alignment goal, I think we will certainly use nuclear weapons to hit back."


Zhu Chenghu for foreign journalists in a meeting, issued the warning. He added that China's territory includes warships and aircraft.


"If the Americans decided to interfere, we decided to fight back. We Chinese are ready for all the destroyed cities east of Xian, but the Americans have prepared hundreds of cities destroyed by our Chinese people." He said.

Reported that earlier that Zhu warned that China can use long-range missiles against the United States, but he threatened to use nuclear weapons in the Taiwan Strait conflict is rarely used over the past decade China's senior officials say.


The report quoted former member of the United States, said that this is a different argument before the Chinese. Since 1964, China exploded an atomic bomb, the Chinese officials have said will not be the first to use nuclear weapons. However, that Zhu is not the first conflict in the Taiwan Strait about the possibility of using nuclear weapons officials.


Former U.S. Assistant Defense Secretary ChasFreeman that in 1999, the People's Liberation Army officials told him that if the United States to intervene in the Taiwan Strait conflict, China could counter the United States.


Now in the international nuclear military strategy the eyes, China's nuclear arsenal also "immediately changed."


Obviously, this "immediately change" means to: the active-duty generals if the Chinese "threat" based on "real basis", then, that human history will become the "first proof" that one kind of thing: that. Apart from the Russians, the earth also, "The second," enough to destroy the U.S. nuclear strike force of civilization.


U.S. involvement in the Taiwan Strait "operational principles" has been very clear we know, the United States get involved in "operational principles" has been very clear: in the United States under a strong nuclear deterrent, in ensuring the ride "with each other not to use nuclear weapons" in the case, With the "Japan and Taiwan," the advantages of a military alliance sea and air military forces, and in Taiwan the sea, over the Taiwan Strait to intercept attempts to occupy Taiwan, People's Liberation Army, and the depth of the strategic objectives against the mainland, destruction of the PLA's build-up echelon formation, thereby accounting for the use of advantages of conventional forces fighting force the collapse of the PLA, Beijing's war will collapse. After Washington's decision-making can wait for Beijing visit sum, negotiated end to the war.


Very clear, according to the United States, the "mindset", to be the "fuzzy", "Taiwan Relations Act," transportation almost in one, for "infinite interpretation", Washington's "strategic core of Taiwan" is "very confident" : confident he can with strong enough to destroy the earth N times the backing of nuclear deterrence, conventional military force in the context of the implementation can be successful for a nuclear power, "General deterrence", and "default field" was China, even nuclear power, "local."


Clearly, the United States, the "mindset" is based in Beijing "not the first use of nuclear weapons" based on, not to mention promote their own nuclear deterrent in Beijing and ideas, not also repeatedly reiterated that to ensure minimum nuclear counterattack capabilities?


In Zhu's remarks, the United States the possibility of large-scale military intervention in the Taiwan Strait have been ruled out. However, Washington's this "mindset", clearly has its rational side, at least in theory, so; However, he also has a strategic deceptive. To discerning eyes know, Zhu's remarks, in essence, equivalent to Beijing "express the" there is such a "principle of U.S. operations", that is: when the war broke out in the United States, Beijing is considered the first "limited nuclear war" , not "limited conventional war", but not a large-scale conventional war.


Therefore, it is Russia's nuclear strategy of the public on the sharply pointed out: "In Zhu's remarks, if the Beijing has set up a comprehensive nuclear strike capability, then the United States the possibility of large-scale military intervention in Taiwan has been ruled out: as Beijing's" default battlefield "will include" the United States.


Several major pieces of Zhu Chenghu's remarks :

First, it clear that "if the United States will launch their missiles and position within the Chinese territory Alignment goal, I think we will certainly use nuclear weapons to hit back."

Second, Zhu Chenghu definition of "Chinese territory", including China's warships and aircraft.

Third, Zhu Chenghu warned: "If the Americans decided to interfere (Taiwan), we decided to fight back. We Chinese are ready for all the destroyed cities east of Xian, but the Americans have prepared hundreds of cities destroyed by us" .

China's strategic nuclear strike force has the ability to "totally destroy the capacity of the United States" Clearly, in Zhu's "nuclear weapons against the United States of" in fact point out the so "three core issues":


First, China's strategic nuclear strike force "drill book" in it contains the first nuclear attack on the United States, "this one"? And under what circumstances, China "will" take the lead on the U.S. strategic nuclear attack?


Second, China's decision makers prepare for first nuclear strike against the U.S., Because "the Americans should prepare hundreds of cities destroyed by our Chinese"; In addition, China's decision makers to implement their own initiative to the U.S. after the nuclear attack on the "loss" has been clearly defined, which is called "We Chinese people are ready all the destroyed cities east of Xian."


Third, and most important, that is, "China's ability to destroy hundreds of cities in the United States?" If China's strategic nuclear strike force "to destroy hundreds of American cities", the only ready to pay "all the destroyed cities east of Xian" price, then, in our view, I am afraid that enable decision makers in Washington, "such restraint "and" only a possibility ", that is: China's strategic nuclear strike force has the ability to" totally destroy the capacity of the United States ", only" the destruction of one ", or" two "does not seem essential difference.
