☢️ Nuclear Tension: US Accuses China of Secret Testing Amid Treaty Collapse 📉

The global landscape of nuclear arms control is hitting a major fever pitch! A senior United States official has sparked international debate after accusing China of conducting clandestine nuclear explosive tests.

Here’s the breakdown of what's happening right now:

The Accusation: US Under Secretary of State Thomas DiNanno claims China conducted secret tests in 2020—including one on June 22—with yields in the hundreds of tonnes. 🤫💨

The Denial: The CTBTO (Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization) states their global monitoring system detected zero evidence of such an explosion. China’s ambassador, Shen Jian, has dismissed these claims as a "false narrative" and "smear tactics." 🙅‍♂️🚫

The Context: This clash comes just days after the New START treaty with Russia expired, leaving the world’s major nuclear powers without a formal limit on warheads for the first time in years. ⏳💣

Trump's Move: President Trump is pushing for a "new architecture" for arms control that includes China, while simultaneously preparing the US military to resume its own testing to stay "on an equal basis" with rivals. 🏗️🇺🇸

As military spending hits record highs, the question remains: Are we entering a brand-new global arms race, or is this high-stakes diplomatic posturing? 🌍🚩

What do you think? 🗣️
Is the era of nuclear arms control officially over, or can a new deal be reached? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇
