U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev came within a hair's breadth of agreeing to phase out their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. General Zhu Chenghu of China's National Defense University, made some remarks that stirred an unusual uproar in the West and in the United States in particular. According to reports in the Western media, Gen. Zhu, in responding to questions in a briefing session on China's foreign and security policy with a delegation of foreign journalists based in Hong Kong, seemed to indicate that in a possible military conflict with the United States over Taiwan, Beijing would be no match for the United States in terms of conventional capability. Zhu thus suggested that China should perhaps be the first to use nuclear weapons to deter a possible U.S. intervention.
Today, the United States is the only nuclear power that continues to deploy nuclear weapons outside its own territory. The approximately 480 nuclear bombs in Europe are intended for use in accordance with NATO nuclear strike plans, the report asserts, against targets in Russia or countries in the Middle East such as Iran and Syria. Israel has not confirmed that it has nuclear weapons and officially maintains that it will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East. Yet the existence of Israeli nuclear weapons is a "public secret" by now due to the declassification of large numbers of formerly highly classified US government documents which show that the United States by 1975 was convinced that Israel had nuclear weapons But as the questions says, there should no be nuclear weapons.
