China is developing nuclear weapons designed for battlefield use and “to coerce others,” a senior British official warned as world leaders brace for a new Taiwan crisis.
“We must acknowledge that existing nuclear states are investing in novel nuclear technologies and developing new warfighting nuclear systems, which they are integrating into their military strategies and doctrines and into their political rhetoric to seek to coerce others,” U.K. National Security Adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove told the Center for Strategic and International Studies on Wednesday.
"If they continue, Taiwan will be pushed into the abyss of disaster and bring serious harm to the majority of Taiwan compatriots,” Wang said Wednesday, per the South China Morning Post. “The majority of Taiwan compatriots must deeply understand that reunification is beneficial, and that Taiwan independence is a dead end. They should understand that they cannot rely on outsiders.”
President Joe Biden’s administration has signaled a desire for Pelosi to steer clear of Taiwan, but she has not made any public decision. A White House National Security Council official acknowledged Tuesday that, “As appropriate, the Department of Defense gets involved” in ensuring the House speaker’s security during foreign travel.
