Youth Fusion interviews Dr Tong Zhao
In the interview, Dr Zhao starts off by talking about his personal experiences.
As for China’s NFU policy, he mentions that China has developed nuclear weapons and adopted NFU policy for the purpose of self-defense and creating an image as responsible nuclear power, which would also set up a positive example of not depending too much on nuclear weapons for other nuclear arms states.
