Worst case scenarios: India and Pakistan engage in a 4th war but this time one or both use their nuclear arsenal. With prevailing easterly winds in the south, the resulting radioactive mushroom cloud would sweep across southern China. The fallout would kill or sicken hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese people.
North Korea drops a nuclear bomb on South Korea or Japan. With prevailing westerly winds in the north, the resulting radioactive mushroom cloud would sweep across southern China. The fallout would kill or sicken hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese people.
Iran completes work on a nuclear bomb and uses it against Israel. This would undoubtedly cause WW III.
CHINA is a major stakeholder in all three situations. Chinese officials regularly consult with India and Pakistan to try and facilitate peace between them. China is a friend and major trading partner with North Korea and is constantly trying to rein in the rogue actions and rhetoric emanating from this friend. China is a major purchaser of Iranian oil and thus has some degree of influence.
This is one of the reasons the west welcomes China’s appearance on the world diplomatic stage.
Scary times? – NO DANGEROUS TIMES!
That is ture that when India、Pakistan and North Korea drops a nuclear bomb, the fallout would kill or sicken hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese people. And that is ture that China is a friend and major trading partner with North Korea and China is a major purchaser of Iranian oil. But the reasons for china’s sturdy defence for the world’s peace is not listed above. China is a victim in the second world war. All chinese people abhor war and love peace. That is why china always to stand firm to keep peace in the world.
What a pity that there was war again between these two countries. When most of us believe in the peaceful world, why couldn’t they stay in peace? Maybe there are benefit conflicts, but the war will destroy the economic and separate the families. What’s more, it also hurt the innocent people. I really hope that China can facilitate peace between them as quickly as possible.
Yes, everything has its two-edged affect, so as the foreign policy. In one hand, china takes an active role in the peacekeeping affaires, and support to prevent nuclear proliferation. In another hand, china has to keep relationship with the countries who search varies ways to Possess the nuclear weapons and even these deed would do some harms to Chinese people. It’s not surprised at all, just like America, it appeared in the world as the world protector, but in reality, it caused a lot of chaos and poverty.
I always think that the exsits of “NUCLEAR weapons” is a big threat to all humankind as well as our planet.But nuclear weapons do exist,we can’t deny this fact,what we can do is to deal these “timing bomb” carfully and wisely.The nuclear power should stick to the (NPT).And those small countries should be promised they would be protected from nuclear threat.For a peaceful world,all the countries have to join together.Nuke problem is a problem that can only be solved by wide international cooperation.
Not only does China suffer from the worst situation, but the whole world will also definitely experience the unprecedented pain in the fatal WW III, which may bring about the extinction of human species. We, human species, are suffered the Great War before, moreover, two times, and the casualties increased exponentially. If the Great War unfortunately starts in the future, the nuclear weapon could ruin the earth a great many times. However, there is no shrinking the responsibility that China and other countries will strive for balance of the different power, and prevent the Great War for our countries and the lives on the earth.
I was shocked at the first glance of this article, because I fist considered to be true news. Thank god! It is just a hypothesis about the nuclear war. I hate any war in any type with any excuse. I am lucky to be born in peaceful China. I know that some people in other places are suffering from wars. I am willing to prey peace for them. And I hope China government can play a better and more importment role in world peace.
No matter for what reason, I hate war. Peace and development are the theme of the mordern society. With the development 0f the globalization,people should be more friendly with each other. The using of nuclear weapon should be forbidden no matter for what reasons.Luckily, the article wasn’t a true news.
In the current world, these countries will have the discourse power if they have nuclear bombs. All of us are lived in nuclear threat. There are many nuclear nations lie to china, which makes Chinese government has to be more careful in handing international conflicts among these countries. Life on earth would be doomed so long as there is a country to use nuclear bomb in conflict. Obviously, if the one uses it, another will use it, which leads to bombs after bombs. The dead time of the earth is coming when The Third World War breaks in.
It is beyond dispute that the use of nuclear arsenal wii be a catastrophe to human beings.China is a country love peace.Therefore,to curb this tragedy’s happen China always stand out couragely and trying to rein in this inhuman activity.China’s proper interference always success as China has already established trade with those country that tend to use nuclear weapon.So ,I proud of my nation for she can play a significant role in the procss of world peace.In a word,China is indispendable in world diplomatic stage.To keep this important position and take responsibility to the peaceful life of Chinese ,China needs to inhance its comprehensive national strength continously.
• When it comes to the topic– nuclear arsenal, all of us are creepy about the results of radioactive mushroom. Yes, we can admit that the development degree of nuclear weapons can prove the international standing of one country and protect from being bullied by other countries. However, we must realize that once nuclear war occurs, the earth, including all of us, may be damaged completely. Our well-developed economy and civilization may be wiped out in a moment. That wouldn’t be the result we want to see. We wish the peace lives along with us forever and no war happens. We wish all countries abide by the rules and co-exit peacefully.
Why people cannot live together peacefully in the earth? Why people like to use force to solve the problem? Why people not draw a lesson from history?… I hate the war, no matter for what reason. We are all human beings; we live in the only earth. Every country in the world doesn’t trust each other, so they create nuclear weapons to protect their countries or want to threaten other countries. We live in a nuclear threat world. If one day, all of them get angry with each other, what will they do? How can’t I think? It is not only China’s responsibly to safeguard world peace but also the whole world. The affairs between India and Pakistan are always attracted the world’s attention. And North Korea always wants to prove them by nuclear weapon. The Middle East affairs also annoy us…All of the people should hold together to struggle for the peace. No wars!
These area problems have a strong history root. To solve them, we should have patience, upstanding negotiation skills, even some good luck. China always tries its best to maintain the world peace, for example, it works strong effect on peace process on Korean island. It also will work hard on the conflict between India and Pakistan, Iran nuclear problem, on the promise of respecting other countries sovereignty. However, this is not only China responsibility, every country in the world should work together, especially for United States and European.
Nuclear can clear the whole world if we human beings don’t control our desire. Maybe The fallout would kill or sicken hundreds of millions of innocent people, in Chinese or other places around India and Pakistan. However it will do harm to these innocent people, and this event is only one part of increasing conflicts with nuclear weapons. As we know, American, the Great Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea all have nuclear weapons, and there are still some countries try their best to develop nuclear weapons, although we all know the total storage of the nuclear weapons will destroy the whole world, including themselves. Why? Because nuclear is the most important deterrent for a sovereign state under law of the jungle. They can’t control other countries’ desire, so it is a better insurance for them to own nuclear weapons. If there is a better way to solute this problem, I think a binding convention and states’ compliance are important, which can come to truth only when we human beings can control our desire.
What violence can take to you? more violence. I hope everyone in this world can understand this simple truth, every government in this world can think about this. I want them to think about what they can get from wars, maybe they can get some money, maybe they can get reputation. But they cannot image what they may lose, they may lose future of their children and grandchildren.
I hope children in this world can enjoy their childhoods, every family can be peaceful and happy.
We are all facing various scary times nowadays, such as nature disasters, new diseases, global warming and so on. Any kind of these disasters can destroy human beings in the future. However, among all these possible catastrophes, the most unacceptable one is nuclear war. If we become extinct because of environment, we can persuade ourselves to accept that because we can do nothing about it. But if we become extinct because of nuclear wars, we have to ask ourselves why we have done nothing to prevent it from happening. It is not the nuclear weapons that we should blame. We should blame ourselves. Why do we have to kill ourselves before the nature did it? I just can’t imagine who can gain a good reason for starting a nuclear war. However, we can not deny that someone will just do it without a good enough reason. Therefore, what we can do is to prevent it from happening. I really hope that we can make it.
To tell the truth, politics is something complicated to me. I always remember a sentence from the politic book which I have learnt in the senior high school, it said between any countries, there is no permanent friends, only permanent interests. It is deep in my mind because I was deeply shocked when I knew it. I felt very sad about the truth at that time. However, as growing up, I gradually accept that kind of relationship. I try to understand it in this way, the resource around the world is so limited that we have to access resource by various means, sometimes we are led by the boundless desire and may adopt the most extreme way like war.
This article reminds me of the brutal fact we are facing: Due to the nuclear proliferation, China is under threat and the whole world is under threat. However, what lies behind the fact is the complicated geopolitical problem. Actually, the urgent political situation has its deep historical and political root and the abuse of nuclear weapons can not solve the problems fundamentally but worsen the situation. I really hope that leaders of all countries can realize that and make joint efforts to maintain a peaceful world.
In the world, all countries are considering the business on the basis that the actions and measures definitely suffice their own benefit and demand. It is rare that other countries will take your benefit into account at the first place, unless you are the neighbor of them with the direct beneficial or political relationship with them. But this is also another manifestation that shows the selfishness of countries and significant place of their benefit.
To strike the balance, many pieces of power which prevailing in this world try to be the one of commanders and controllers in this balance position. So, they try to enhance their military, economical and political power to fulfill this intent. Undoubtedly, the nuclear weapon is the most efficient chip used to keep and increase the right of speaking in the affair of the world. That’s why many countries try to research and develop the skill of nuclear application at the risk of being boycotted, even attacked, by the rest countries in the world.
War is a horrible word. Nuclear weapon may be a fuse of the war next time. We humans invent nuclear weapon, exploring in scientific way, not in order to bring the war. I hope that all countries can use high technology properly.
When come to the issue of national defense, there is always a potential problem named Prisoners’ Dilemma, in which both parties choose his or her own best strategy; however, both parties will be hurt when both parties are acting this way, because they can actually be better off if they cooperate. The Arm Race after WW II can be partly explained by the Prisoners’ Dilemma, and now the situation between India and Pakistan can also be explained by it. Obviously, that is a very terrible outcome. However, such dilemma can NOT be easily overcome unless both parties achieve deep understanding with each other.
I strongly agree with the idea that common economic interest is a lubricant of two hostile countries, because when the people are doing business, they can merge into each other’s world, as well as getting more chance to understand each other.
I learnt that the USA and Russia reached an agreement of reducing their nuclear weapons by almost 30% recently. That is a really very good trend.
The tragedy of A-bomb explode in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the world war second still remind the human being not to use a-bomb.A-bomb is a fatal weapon in this world. Chinese is a peace-love nation and china is still one of the five Permanent member state of a council in UN.If the war break between India and Pakistan or North koear and South Korea or Japan.chinese people will be sufferers.I thin the Chinese government will do our best to maintain the local peace and get well along with our neighbors.Peace in local district is suit for Chinese interest.
China is located at the axis of nuclear weapons in Europe and Asia, such as Russia and the United States, India and Pakistan, China is a peace-loving country, we Chinese people know the dangers of nuclear weapons. So we try to resolve the crisis. The tension in bilateral relations between Asian countries Above-mentioned is of the great harm to Asia and the development of our world, as Asia’s political and economic power, we try to resolve to the nuclear crisis. In my opinion, China’s efforts are conducive to regional stability.
I think that maybe China can influence these three situations, but the influence of China to these three situations is limited. Every international issue concerns the interests of many countries. One country’s effort alone is small. We can see the North Korea nuclear issue. Is China a friend and major trading partner with North Korea? Yes. But North Korea didn’t care China’s attitude too much and went its own way. The other two situations are the same. So I believe that China can promote solution of these problems along with the other countries, but should not be too arrogant or consider itself as a policeman.
I felt very surprised when I read this article. In the event of either of the circumstances mentioned above, China will be the one of the biggest victims. So, I totally agree that it is the reason that the west welcomes China’s appearance on the world diplomatic stage. Because of the potential threat, China will try his best to maintain the balance between the countries. And also, it is the way to contain China. Everybody wait behind to get the maximal interests.
But I think the war will not break out among those countries, because it is the time for economic development. The contradiction is not irreconcilable and there is room to negotiate. Also keep the peace, it is the win – win situation and it is good for us. And we also know, war is not the way to settle problems. It is obvious that it is the way to achieve the respective goal. People of the world will not let it happen. At last there is famous motto that is there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. So the war will not happen.
So it is just scary times but not dangerous time.
War is the last thing we want to see. The terrible results will be numbers of orphans, disabled people and innocent death. But when the nuclear weapon is used, there will be nothing left. The area which is attacked by nuclear weapon will be affected for a long time, in both natural world and human society. Considering of these, no one would prefer use war to settle their problems.
So why are there still so many unstable war possibilities? Why do they choose this ruinous way to settle their disputes when they clearly know the results? Are they crazy? I don’t agree. In my opinion, they know what they are doing, and they certainly have a good knowledge about China and the other countries. They realize that we won’t let them continue in that way and their problem need to be settled with the third effort, so the more severity they quarreled the more attentions they attract, and their voice can be heard more. Then the problem will be more likely settled in their wanted way.
The relationship between China and India is always not so well, but Pakistan is always China’s good friend. So every time when they have dissension, China usually takes the side of Pakistan. As to North Korea, I think it is just like a naughty boy, ha-ha! It easily to do dangerous things and put his friends’ advice aside, even though what he do may injury himself too.
What’s more, I think china is bad luck facing so many dangerous from its surround countries. But maybe every country has the same headache. In a word, the world is not peacefull!
CHINA is a major stakeholder in all three situations. Chinese officials regularly consult with India and Pakistan to try and facilitate peace between them. China is a friend and major trading partner with North Korea and is constantly trying to rein in the rogue actions and rhetoric emanating from this friend. China is a major purchaser of Iranian oil and thus has some degree of influence.
As we can see that oil is more and more imporntant in nowdays,I really hope that leaders of all countries can realize that and make joint efforts to work together.
All of us are EGGs in one basket, aren’t we?
Any nation or region that’s been involved in limited or full scale use of nuclear weapons will trigger a disastrous outcome on the welfare of whole mankind. In history, the US has once released it ballistic bomb on two cities of Japan for revenge largely, the range and extent of damage is tremendously huge which threatened the world. Then the rest of the world dimly pledged to have its own system of nuclear weapons in consideration of a better and stable status on the international level, if they’re able to afford such large amount of investment. Then came a period of multi-polarity which brings an air of peaceful counterbalance to this world, especially among FIVE permanent member countries of the UN, even though nuclear weapon development are increasingly acting as a critical mission symbolizing its vital power or credible minimum deterrence. Referring to this, there’s optimistic indication in treaties among these countries, if you may know.
The flashpoint now, however, goes to whether the possession of UNKNOWN number or power of nuclear arsenal in India, Pakistan and North Korea will pose a threat to the peace of the world. If a deliberate or careless use of nuclear bombs is possible in the above mentions countries with orders ending up in a chaos, it’s just like a fire in the backyard for us, should we quell it as it happened or try to settle it when the straw of wind appears? That is a question. The war is a monster that created by us and will devour us. I strongly back every possible resort to negotiation that dooms a possible agreement of peace. The slightest possibility of preserving mankind and civilization deserves a try.
Nuclear weapons have great destruction,and only the number of nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia is enough to destroy the earth several times. It is said that there are more than 20,000 nuclear warheads around China.Facing these terrible fact,how do we maintain our security?
In my opinion,we humans need peace,so we should prevent nuclear proliferation,reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons, to create a nuclear-free world. That is the responsibility of different countries for the future of mankind.
If one of these three situations happens, it will be enough to destroy development of china and kill hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese. As Chinese, we never want this happen. Chinese government keeps rendering economic assistance gratis to these countries and helping them to develop. But using nuclear weapon or starting wars actually has no benefits to these countries， it also breaks the friendly relationship with china and they no longer get economic aid from china, which may also destroy their own development at eventually.
I can’t know the reasons why these countries got in war frequently, even using the weapons which will harm people permanently and enormously. Maybe there are many political reasons and history reasons. But why don’t them focus on the development of the economics. Nowadays the competitions among countries are mainly economic development and person with ability. Every country tries their best to develop their economy to enhance their position in the world. The force and the military are use the instrument to protect their selves, when they are invaded. The force can’t solve all problems. And at the same time, if these countries use harmful weapon, the effect will spread to other countries, just like the article mentioned “the resulting radioactive mushroom cloud would sweep across southern China. The fallout would kill or sicken hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese people.” Not because that I am a Chinese, so I am a victim and I am angry at the behavior of these countries. If the war between these countries harms other people, I am angry too. Life is the best and rarest gift to everyone. They should respect life and not to harm life. And they must try their best to solve problems peacefully and don’t affect other innocent people.
Nuclear weapons are great threats to the world. I strongly support that they should be prevented. However, on the contrary, they are, to a certain degree, also counters to some countries to maintain their discourse right. Since some of the countries already have had some nuclear weapons or the technique to make it, I think China should also make some for protection. China is a country that loves peace, which will never invade other countries, especially using the nuclear weapons. But the fact is that once we have nuclear weapons, we have the power to protect ourselves. And since China plays an important role in the world to keep it in peace, owning nuclear weapons when necessary will make it have more power and right to keep its discourse in the world.
When we talk about this topic-war, many of us would feel scary and anxiety. In the passing century, human has lived through two world wars which result in great loss and misfortunes. Human also learn a big lesson from the wars that peace is very important for the world’s development. Now nuclear proliferation is threatening world peace again. Some people even predict and concern that World War Three would start. As Chinese people, we love peace so much that we will try our best to safeguard world peace.
China is one of the 5 permanent members of the United Nations and is also one of the world’s nuclear-weapon states. China should take more responsibility to enhance the peace in the world. In nuclear war, no one is the winners. So preventing nuclear spread is every country’s duty. China with great influence on South Korea and Pakistan can play a positive part in maintaining the peace of the world. And cooperating with the United States and Europe is also important to solve the nuclear proliferation.
It seems the whole world is a fire world. Mid-east and East Asia are all dangerous areas. People in these areas are force to use nuclear weapons. China is involved in the middle place, so it should undertake it is share. But let me think about what behind on its back. China imports large amount oil from Iran, China is not far away from north Korea and Mid-east, that is to say China benefits much from these areas, so China should take on its responsibilities. That is reasonable, but some developed countries think china should take the lead to cope with international affairs, that is what I doubt about.
China has been one of the powerful centers in the world after thirty-year development. However, so many tough problems still confront china, including wealth gap, environment pollution and unbalanced economic structure. To some extent, a peaceful world is the precondition of china’s development, and that helps to explain why India and Pakistan, North Korea and Iran concern china. Besides that, playing an active role in these issues is a way to show china’s responsibility for the world and improve china’s international image. Anyway, we must be alert that without worldwide cooperation, china’s influence on these issues may mean nothing and that will put china into an embarrassing situation.
If wars really break out, they definitely cause panic. However, Chinese people hate war, and no longer want to suffer the misery of damages, injuries and deaths. Therefore, you can see China’s appearance on the world diplomatic stage to facilitate peace for other countries. Nowadays, the most terrible weapons are nuclear bombs; they can cause severe damages, both to the lives of innocent people and the economic loss. The nuclear energy should not be used as a tool for damaging the earth. Instead, it should be utilized to benefit human. Everyone should pursue peace, and live harmoniously. In that case, how happy human will be!
It is known to all that China has a long boundary which is next to lot countries. It is a hard job for the government to take care of the relationship between our country and others. On the other hand, nuclear weapons are the most evil crime in this century. China is an important power to prevent it. However, other countries should also help to solve it.
Nuclear weapons are horrible.If they are used in the war,there will be many innocent killed or effected.Nuclear weapons have long term impact,and are bad for people’s health and living environment.Every country should not use nuclear weapons in the war.
China is a large country, India, Pakistan and North Korea all around the China, therefore, regardless of which country to use the nuclear weapons, it will be a great influence on chinese innocent people by the radioactive mushroom cloud and the fallout, so chinese government make his great efforts to facilitate peace ofthe world.
Whether the problems between India and Pakistan or North Korea problems ,we don’t allow the people of our country suffer innocently. Once the outbreak of nuclear war, the people of our country will more or less get hurt. So China needs to deal with these neighboring relationship between them, trying its best to prevent a nuclear war, lest the people in our country is subjected to the innocent damage.
The sky is so clear. The world is a home for everyone in the world, which is full of funny things. How can we do to protect our lives? It seems that we should pay more attention to the meteoric stones. Of course, it is necessary. It is obvious that space trash has been attracting people’s attention. I feel that science gives people comfortable life. At the same time it seems to destroy human beings’ civilization. We should try our best to stop this
We need peace and no nuclear weapons should be used in the war. I have seen the influence on Russian people who suffered from Chernobel nuclear leak. I can’t imagine that happens to innocent people just because of the hatred between two countries.
History has told us again and again that “war” would never be the best solution to solve conflicts. China calls on the world to solve disagreements by “peace talking” instead of “the threat of nuclear weapons” as a reponsible country.China is a developing country who needs a peaceful surrounding to develop steadily.
China has suffered so much since the year of 1840. That’s why it is a country that loves peace. We want to live in a world full of harmony. The rise of China is important to the whole world since it is a peace keeper. I believe that China will play a much important role in the world’s stage. Let’s just wait and see.
Recently I have watched the movie the followers of the war, and it was a very touching movie directed by Zhangyimou. It tells us a moving story in the Nanking massacre. Millions innocent people died in the World WarⅡ. With the help of a priest acted by Christian Bale , 13 prostitutes sacrifices themselves to save 13 girls. War will bring disaster to every country. We should treasure the peaceful life we now have enjoyed. And there are plenty of conflicts between countries. If they really want to solve the problems, they should initiate a bilateral negotiation. When they reach a peaceful agreement, people from both side can benefit from it .
