🌐 The world is facing a 'critical moment' in nuclear disarmament, warned Chinese Disarmament Ambassador Shen Jian at the UN this week. With geopolitical tensions rising faster than TikTok trends, Shen called for global cooperation to avoid a 'dead end' in arms control efforts.
💣 Speaking at the 79th UN General Assembly's First Committee, Shen highlighted three major roadblocks:
1. Eroding trust between major powers
2. Escalating regional conflicts
3. Cold War-era thinking in security policies
🕊️ The ambassador pushed for urgent action:
– Slashing nuclear stockpiles worldwide
– Ending strategic military deployments
– Adopting a 'common security' mindset he compared to 'a group project where everyone actually collaborates'
☢️ 'We need Marvel-level teamwork here,' Shen essentially stated, urging nations to focus on:
– Practical disarmament steps
– Transparent communication
– Preventing new 'nuclear domino effects'
🤝 China's proposed solution? A #CooperationOverCompetition approach emphasizing:
– Mutual security respect
– Multilateral solutions
– Sustainable peace frameworks
