China has made progress in developing new nuclear weapons, but they are only for self-defense.

Axar.az reports the statement came from Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe.

According to Omum, the nuclear weapons demonstrated at the military parade in Beijing in 2019, including the advanced launch facilities for the DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile, are in working order:

"China has been developing its capabilities for more than 50 years. It would be fairer to say that great progress has been made. China's policy is consistent. We use it for self-defense. We will not be the first to use nuclear weapons. "
