The DPRK has blasted the US for adopting a new strategic nuclear plan, saying the US is constantly fabricating a new nuclear threat.

The DPRK has condemned Washington's newly revised strategic nuclear plan, pledging to counter any kind of fresh threat from the US.

“We will resolutely cope with any type of nuclear threat posed by the US,” a DPRK Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a press statement released on Saturday by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

“The DPRK Foreign Ministry expresses serious concern over and bitterly denounces and rejects the behavior of the US, which is pursuing the unilateral nuclear edge while going against the desire of the international community for global peace, stability, and detente by continuously fabricating someone’s ‘nuclear threat,’” the statement read, after the New York Times revealed that the US revised its nuclear strategic plan.

The nuclear plan was approved by President Joe Biden back in March, the  US news outlet reported, enabling preparations for potential nuclear confrontation with Russia, China, and the DPRK. The report added that for the first time, the strategy will focus on Beijing's rapidly increasing nuclear arsenal.

The United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions on the DPRK since 2006 concerning its nuclear capabilities, which China and Russia have attempted to ease within the last few years.

Pyongyang has declared itself an "irreversible" nuclear weapons power through its own arms development and testing of weapons and ammunition programs to defend against foreign aggression.

Ultimately, the three nations are close allies that share mutual defense treaties. 

The DPRK has been accused by the US of supplying missiles and ammunition to Russia during its war with Ukraine, which Pyongyang has denied, describing the allegation as "absurd."

China has no intention of joining nuclear arms race 

Washington's fear-mongering concerning China's nuclear arsenal is completely baseless, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Wednesday, following a The New York Times report of US President Joe Biden updating the Nuclear Employment Guidance to refocus its aim against the Asian country.

“The US has called China a ‘nuclear threat’ and used it as a convenient pretext for the US to shirk its obligation of nuclear disarmament,” she told journalists, expressing that Beijing was "gravely concerned" with the recently published report. 

The diplomat emphasized that China's nuclear arsenal was “by no means on the same level with the US,” highlighting Beijing's "no first use" policy and the country's objective to maintain "its nuclear capabilities at the minimum level required by national security."

China has “no intention to engage in any form of arms race” with other countries, Mao stated, adding, “It is the US who is the primary source of nuclear threats and strategic risks in the world."
