U.S. makes a nuclear announcement about this foreign adversary

America has many enemies. Some of these enemies have become incredibly emboldened.

And the U.S. made a nuclear announcement about this foreign adversary.

Washington is calling out Beijing’s dirty tricks in the nuclear game, accusing the communist regime of running secret explosive tests while the world was distracted by the pandemic. This bold move comes as the U.S. ramps up efforts to drag China into a real arms control deal, one that finally includes all the big players instead of just playing favorites with Moscow.

Thomas DiNanno, the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, didn’t hold back during his speech at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. He laid it out plain and simple, revealing that American intelligence has caught wind of China’s underground blasts.

“I can reveal that the US government is aware that China has conducted nuclear explosive tests, including preparing for tests with designated yields in the hundreds of tons,” DiNanno declared, pulling no punches in front of the global audience.

He went further on X, exposing how Beijing is gaming the system to stay hidden. “China has used decoupling — a method to decrease the effectiveness of seismic monitoring — to hide its activities from the world,” DiNanno stated, pinpointing a specific test that happened right in the thick of global shutdowns.

That test, according to DiNanno, went down on June 22, 2020, when most folks were locked in their homes fighting off COVID-19. It’s no coincidence—China’s leaders love exploiting crises to advance their aggressive agenda.

China’s disarmament ambassador, Shen Jian, dodged the direct hit but fired back with the usual deflection. He claimed the U.S. is just stirring up trouble by exaggerating the so-called nuclear threat from his country.

“The US continues in its statement to hype up the so-called China nuclear threat. China firmly opposes such false narratives … [The US] is the culprit for the aggravation of the arms race,” Shen shot back, trying to flip the script on who’s really fueling the fire.

This showdown erupted just a day after the 2010 New START treaty between America and Russia bit the dust, leaving both superpowers free from any hard limits on their nukes for the first time since the old SALT days back in 1972. It’s a wake-up call that the old rules don’t cut it anymore.

DiNanno hammered home the point that America can’t afford to ignore the rising dangers.

“Today, the United States faces threats from multiple nuclear powers. In short, a bilateral treaty with only one nuclear power is simply inappropriate in 2026 and going forward,” he warned, spotlighting China’s rapid buildup.

Shen, predictably, shut down any talk of three-way negotiations.

“In this new era we hope the US will abandon Cold War thinking … and embrace common and cooperative security,” he saaid, pushing that tired line about cooperation while China keeps arming up.

But America isn’t buying the excuses. Our leaders know that real security means strength, not wishful thinking, especially when dealing with authoritarian powers like China that break rules behind closed doors.
