Chinese cities may be at risk of a nuclear attack from Japan, according to a study by the PLA Rocket Force.
A group from the Chinese military says that Japan might try to use a nuclear weapon, and this could happen because Japan isn't following some rules about not having nuclear weapons.
Analysis
Japan's Nuclear Policy and International Relations
The study underscores Japan's failure to adhere to the 2017 international agreement banning nuclear arms, and its consideration of changing its 'three non-nuclear principles'.
Potential Nuclear Attacks
The researchers suggest that small or medium-sized nuclear-armed states, driven by geopolitical or religious conflicts, could carry out a single nuclear-weapon terrorist attack on China or its key cities.
PLA Rocket Force's Role
The PLA Rocket Force, a military branch responsible for strategic missile defense, has issued this warning, emphasizing the need for preparedness and international cooperation to mitigate the threat.
Key points
- PLA Rocket Force study warns of potential nuclear attacks from Japan
- Japan has not joined the international agreement banning nuclear arms
- The study suggests small states could carry out nuclear attacks driven by conflicts
The study suggests that international cooperation and adherence to nuclear disarmament agreements can help prevent such attacks.
If Japan does change its policies, the study warns that it could lead to a real risk of nuclear attacks on China.
