The creation of a tripartite Aukus Alliance between the United States, Great Britain and Australia aims to inflate the Cold War, violates the provisions of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and creates a threat to a nuclear catastrophe in the Pacific region. Such a statement made Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Le Yucheng in an interview with CGTN TV channel, “Interfax” quotes it.
“First of all, Aukus represents the danger of the spread of nuclear weapons, seriously violates the spirit of the day, damages the contract on the nuclear-free zone in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean,” the diplomat emphasized.
He reminded that a few days ago in the South China Sea, a collision of an American nuclear submarine with an unidentified object occurred. According to Yuichan, this incident is a warning. He noted that nuclear submarines often come to the South China Sea, and despite the fact that there is no data on the leakage of radioactive substances, there are “large hidden hazards of the spread of nuclear weapons and nuclear safety, which can lead to a nuclear catastrophe.”
