Features: This book attempts to explore the nuclear policies of China and the United States from the core concept of deterrence, and further studies their nuclear relationship. The book argues that nuclear weapons are weapons that should not be used first, and their role should be diluted rather than strengthened today. From a rational perspective, a minimal nuclear retaliatory capability can constitute the material basis for an effective nuclear deterrence policy. Maintaining the stability of the China-U.S. nuclear relationship is an important issue both countries will face in the future, and the United States, as a nuclear power, bears an inescapable responsibility. In addition to not undermining the mutual deterrence that has already been established between the two sides, the two countries should also provide new impetus for stability by building a common security mechanism and a common security culture.
