Is China really testing nuclear weapons?

“The Trump administration has accused China of secretly testing a nuclear weapon in 2020. The group that monitors nuclear tests worldwide, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), says it couldn’t confirm a test actually occurred. China has rejected the accusations, calling them a distortion of its nuclear policy. Instead of treating this as a technical disagreement for international institutions to sort out, the Trump administration appears to be using these claims to push for restarting U.S. nuclear testing ‘on an equal basis.'” (02/26/26)
