Chinese General Threatens Nuclear Use Against U.S.

July 15, 2005 :: Washington Times :: News

China is prepared to use nuclear weapons against the U.S. if attacked by Washington during a confrontation over Taiwan, a Chinese General reminded America in a recent press conference. Chinese General Zhu Chenghu is quoted as saying that, “If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China’s territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons.” He added: “[We] will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian. Of course the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds … of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese.”
        The comment comes just as the Pentagon’s annual report on the military power of China is due to be released. (Article)
