The article urges collective action to prevent renewed testing and to uphold disarmament, warning that the collapse of these agreements could lead to worldwide nuclear proliferation and the end of decades of restraint.
Humanity once again faces the perilous clash between rising and declining powers, this time between the United States and China. Their economic and military rivalry threatens not only their own stability but also global security. The trade war, competition for rare earths, and escalating military confrontations risk triggering a catastrophic conflict—potentially even nuclear. As tensions deepen across the Indo-Pacific, history warns that miscalculation could lead to devastation.
