OREANDA-NEWS China's experiment with nuclear weapons, in which engineers analyzed the consequences of launching a triple nuclear strike on a target located deep underground, puts the country on a par with Russia and the United States. The significance of the PRC experiment was explained by the publication Tsargrad (TSG).

Chinese scientists have developed a unique system capable of simulating high-power multipoint nuclear explosions at great depths underground.

"In fact, China has announced the creation of a tool that puts it in the same category as Russia and the United States, countries with not only an impressive arsenal, but also experience in systemic research in the field of nuclear war," the article says.

The situation with China's experiment demonstrates that the global "nuclear club" is rapidly changing, the "TSG" added. According to the publication, with this scientific achievement, China sends a signal to other nuclear powers: "we are here, and we are ready." It is also noted that the incident increases the tension on the international agenda.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa said that China has become a major nuclear power that must be reckoned with. He said this while commenting on a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese and North Korean counterparts Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un.
