US simulates underground blast to detect secret Chinese nuclear tests
Original: US simulates underground blast to detect secret China nuclear tests
The United States has carried out a simulated underground explosion as part of efforts to improve its ability to detect any secret nuclear tests conducted by China. The exercise reflects growing US concern that Beijing could be testing low-yield nuclear devices at underground sites without detection, amid broader tensions over nuclear arsenals and arms control.
Why now: Rising US-China tensions and fears of undetected nuclear testing have put verification capabilities in the spotlight.
