Nothing this administration says is reliable.
>The United States’ top nuclear arms official on Friday accused China of carrying out an undisclosed nuclear detonation in 2020, arguing that recent secretive underground tests by China and Russia have given Washington reason to conduct “parallel steps” as a decades-long moratorium on nuclear testing among major powers is unraveling.
>Thomas DiNanno, the undersecretary of state for arms control, told the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva on Friday that Beijing is preparing tests “with designated yields in the hundreds of tons” and has interfered with international seismic monitoring systems to mask prior detonations.
If true it’s a disgusting shift towards nuclear proliferation.
That said nothing from Trumps administration has value until it’s been thoroughly vetted by a reliable third party
What happened to the nice chat they had 10 seconds ago and ‚looking forward to his visit to China‘? Now he’s throwing shade? I’ve known schizophrenics with an easier to follow thought process. The first president ever that should not only be impeached, but should also be legally required to wear a ‚troll mask‘ for the remainder of the time it takes to remove him from office. That way the rest of the world knows what’s going on here and can just ignore him before he gets us all killed.
The king was not able to get in front of this one?
Insane that I find myself believing China over the US. But here we are.
Interesting timing to say the least. The veracity of the statement remains to be seen, but recent events seem to line up.
Nov. 2025 – Trump blurts out some (highly classified) veiled insinuation about Chinese nuclear testing on 60 Minutes. (See [here](https://youtu.be/dAvuTHIyUTo?si=fKHwGXTsjOFJopt3) at 13:45)
Meanwhile the MSS is probably trying to figure out how he could have known that.
Jan 2026 – Zhang YouXia is dismissed for revealing nuclear secrets to the US. Most likely back channel deconfliction from 2020, but not state approved.
Feb 2026 – US official position changes since the source is no longer available due to „restructuring“ of the PLA.
Leave it to Trump to inadvertently create a more dangerous situation between superpowers because he had to show up Norah O’Donnell
Edit for Youtube link
Ah sweet so here’s the bullshit excuse they’ll use for beginning nuclear tests again. Now on top of threatening tariffs if a country doesn’t do what he wants, Trump will do a nuclear test and say ‚would be a shame if something happened to your country‘.
… LOL…. No one is obligated to tell or hide anything from US. Chenya is a sovereign nation not a colony of America.
US like wise can test whenever they want. Let the Cold War begin again
This would have been detected by multiple independent sources if true.
Meanwhile in 2020 the US was doing active nuclear-type weapons testing in Nevada

As well as the Nightshade A subcritical nuclear test on November 3, 2020

These are a matter of public record though so I guess they’re not secret.
Nuclear weapons are bad.
If you have a chance go to the Peace Park in Hiroshima. Visit the atom bomb museum.
Humanity must never use nuclear weapons again.
Every accusation is a confession.
We’ve likely been doing this for eons after some of the initial agreements. Don’t trust a word from these pigs
Third world country lies again
Didn’t he sign something saying the US is gunna resume nuclear explosive tests?
I don’t trust Trump, but his accusation appears to line up with the evidence of China expanding their nuclear weapons testing facilities.
In 2023, it was reported that China had been rebuilding their nuclear weapons test site in order to test new nuclear weapons: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/20/science/china-nuclear-tests-lop-nur.html
The Washington post reported this:
> While DiNanno’s accusations mark the first public U.S. assessment that Beijing carried out a specific test, State Department and Pentagon reports previously said it is possible China has conducted low-yield nuclear tests at the secretive Lop Nur facility — the site of its first atomic bomb test in 1964. The State Department report said continued work at the site in 2020, along with China’s “lack of transparency on its nuclear testing activities,” had raised concerns about its adherence to the “zero-yield standard” of the United States and its allies.
> Zero-yield — or subcritical — tests do not produce a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction and therefore result in no measurable nuclear explosive yield. Low-yield nuclear tests — which are still banned under the CTBT — generate relatively small explosive outputs, often harder to detect, while high-yield tests produce far larger explosions intended to validate full warhead capability.
> Two people familiar with U.S. government monitoring of the China’s nuclear sites, including one State Department official, said DiNanno’s claim about a 2020 test most likely refers to internal U.S. government reports of low-yield activity at Lop Nur that were circulated in the State Department and Pentagon that year. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
> “It was suspected that China had conducted a nuclear test in the tunnel area around 2020, possible very low-yield prep at least,” said Renny Barbiarz, vice president at AllSource Analysis, who conducts regular geospatial analysis of the Lop Nur site.
> Recent satellite imagery analysis by Barbiarz’s team shows the Lop Nur site has continued to expand rapidly in recent years, including new tunnel excavations that could be used to conduct low-yield tests, as well as larger boreholes that may be preparations for higher-yield nuclear detonations.

Jealousy from trummmp
Nothing this administration says can be taken at face value
Let me guess – now Trump is gonna blow one (or a hundred) up. JFC we’re all gonna die and no one is going to stop it.
Is the problem that they did nuclear tests, that they were secret or that it is in defiance of the Great Shitter here?
Excuse so that the US can start its own tests again
Holy fucking deflection
Sad to say it, but I’d trust Chinas response over the Shitting President.
I mean I don’t trust either of them really, but China somehow makes the cut before whatever that thing in office is.
Whatchu gonna do. Invade us?
Hasn’t Trump been talking about getting rid of the nuclear weapons treaty so he can set off nukes?
Is this one of his typical “accuse someone else of doing the exact thing you yourself are doing” things? 🤨
