CHINA must make the first nuclear strike against the US if Joe Biden continues to defend Taiwan, a top Chinese diplomat says.
Beijing's former ambassador to the UN, Sha Zukang said the country's long-standing promise to only use nukes in retaliation should be re-examined in response to the new alliances forming in the region. He said: "The unconditional no first use is not suitable . . . unless China-US negotiations agree that neither side would use [nuclear weapons] first, or the US will no longer take any passive measures to undermine the effectiveness of China’s strategic forces.
"The strategic pressure on China is intensifying as (the US) has built new military alliances and as it increases its military presence in our neighbourhood."
The threat came ahead of a meeting between the US, India, Japan and Australia - dubbed the Quad, in Washington, host by Joe Biden.
During a meeting of the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association in Beijing last week he said: "The policy not to be the first to use nuclear weapons unconditionally has given China the moral high ground internationally.
"But for some time in the future, the US will see China as its main competitor and even its enemy. Can this policy be re- examined and fine-tuned?"
China became a nuclear power in 1964 and adopted the policy four years later.
The country is constructing nearly 300 new nuclear missile silos, while it is thought to possess around 320 nuclear warheads, report the Times.

“Will milley warn China of Biden is gonna attack them?”
Of course not. If Biden attacked, it would be a good attack. If Trump did the same thing. It would be a bad attack.
Biden is the new Marshal Petain.
No way in the present form of government. Wouldn’t they also strike the silos out in the West? This country would be in complete chaos.
They have threatened us with nukes on a regular basis, for years, but now they also threaten our allies in the Pacific. It seems things are quickening.

And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

You internal factional dispute will never happen with nuclear weapons - they are not that stupid.
China has no strategic nuclear capability, defensive or offensive.
The U.S. does.
Thanks for helping china, billy clinton
More Vikund Quisling, although Quisling was an ideologue, not a mercenary.
The Chinese have no worries until they get that midnight call from General Milley.
That’s not how it will happen, nor does China need a first strike to get what they want.
It's a crude threat on the part of the CCP. Towards the end of the Cold War, the U.S. strategy was to target Soviet Leadership personally, and their families. The message was, even if the Soviet War machine survives or even prevails, you and your family are not going to be there see it.
Here is one scenario:
After a successful conquest of Taiwan, and effective subjugation of Australia, a certain Chinese general has greatly increased prestige which is viewed as a potential threat by the political authorities. They are barely able to deal with "unexpected" consequences of the campaign and the country is in a severe economic decline. There is harsh conflict between several internal factions and there have been some executions of public officials for "economic crimes".
The general is recalled to Beijing for "consultations" as part of an "anti-corruption" campaign. The handwriting is on the wall. His backers are losing.
The general diverts to a logistics center which holds Chinese nuclear weapons and takes control of them. He has certain demands for protection of his faction.
The negotiations do not go well, and the general provides an object lesson to a remote area. It is publicly described as a test of weapons readiness. Actual causalities are quite low.
The center government assaults the logistics center. Preparations were hasty and the commanders maintain they have inadequate numbers of reliable troops. They request and are granted full authorization to use "all available force levels" (e.g. nuclear weapons) to insure success of their mission.
Which faction uses the nuclear weapons cannot be determined by the survivors but causalities are heavy and the damage is extensive. The incident is described as a "live fire training exercise".
I need to know which US cities they plan to take out before I decide whether to worry about them.
China’s best Bud Mark Milley will make sure the US doesn’t shoot back
