China Denies US Claims That it Conducted Nuclear Explosion Tests

China said US claims that it was carrying out nuclear explosive tests were baseless, and it accused Washington of being the main cause of uncertainty over the global nuclear order, according to a statement.

A Ministry of National Defense spokesman said in the statement that China adheres to a no‑first‑use policy, pursues a self‑defensive strategy and keeps its nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security.
