The US regime plans to send submarines to South Korea armed with nuclear weapons will likely aggravate tensions in the region, China’s foreign ministry has said.
Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden announced the deployment with his South Korean colleague, Yoon Suk-yeol. Washington and Seoul agreed on the deployment of nuclear-armed US submarines to the region to deter North Korea.
Speaking to the press on Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning argued that the USA, in order to realize its own geopolitical interests and disregarding regional security, insisted on making use of the peninsula issue to create tension.
She went on to accuse Washington of being stuck in a Cold War mentality as well as undermining the nuclear non-proliferation system and efforts to denuclearize the Korean peninsula.
On Wednesday, President Biden received his South Korean counterpart at the White House where the two leaders unveiled the ‘Washington Declaration.’
Speaking to reporters, the US head-of-state proclaimed that extended deterrence against North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats would have a nuclear dimension as well. We will have visits to — port visits of nuclear submarines and things like that, Biden stated.
The US president also said that to ensure even closer cooperation, closer consultation the two nations have also agreed to establish a body called the Nuclear Consultative Group.
Peace can be achieved on the Korean Peninsula, Biden argued, through the superiority of overwhelming forces.
Pyongyang has test-fired more than 100 missiles since the beginning of 2022, and this month alone tested its first solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile and a nuclear-capable underwater attack drone.
Washington and Seoul perceive the DPRK’s increased military activities as a security threat, and have stepped up their joint drills on the peninsula in response.
North Korea, in turn, claims that its missile program is defensive in nature, accusing the South and USA of plotting an attack. The country has also vehemently protested against joint defense maneuvers by Washington and Seoul, describing them as provocations.

Peace can be achieved on the Korean Peninsula, Biden argued, “through the superiority of overwhelming forces.” Sorry Mr Biden but this statement delusional and wreck-less; What you are actually saying is that the US wants to control the South Korean Peninsula as part of the US grand World Domination plan, as you have failed in the Middle East failed in Europe so all you have left is South East Asia trying to hem in China, (news Flash “You will fail there too”).
