Chinese leader Xi Jinping holds ultimate authority for launching a nuclear attack, and recently formed regional military commands are probably not in the chain of command for deciding on such strikes.
In this photo released by Xinhua News Agency, Chinese President Xi Jinping, also chairman of the Central Military Commission , center, poses for photos with the commander of the rocket force Wang Houbin, top left, and its political commissar Xu …on Chinese nuclear command and control systems published March 11 by the China Aerospace Studies Institute, a U.S. Air Force think tank based in Alabama.
The study concludes that the Chinese army follows a strategically ambiguous policy regarding its nuclear forces and when they will be used, officially claiminghas a no-first-use policy regarding nuclear weapons but also leaving open the use of nuclear strikes in response to U.S. precision-guided conventional attacks.
The latest annual threat assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence made public last week repeated earlier U.S. intelligence conclusions that no foreign powers were behind the incidents first experienced by U.S. personnel in Cuba in 2016 and laterthat left U.S. government personnel disabled.
Researchers reached that conclusion despite the fact that “these individuals have symptoms that are real, distressing and very difficult to treat,” said Dr. Leighton Chan, NIH Clinical Center acting chief scientific officer and lead author of the study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association this week.
