Quote:

"China, unlike the other four original nuclear-weapons states, has been rapidly expanding its much-smaller nuclear arsenal – by over 25 per cent in the last five years, Pentagon estimates claim.

"Much of the expansion has been driven by fears that new US ballistic missile defences could undermine the deterrent value of Beijing's nuclear forces

"中朝两国在1970年前后反目成仇

"1950年朝鲜战争爆发后，志愿军就是从丹东---也就是当时的安东---跨过鸭绿江进入对岸新义州赴朝参战的。战争结束后，丹东和新义州一样，弹痕累累、满目疮痍。然而今天，中国的丹东市车水马龙、高楼林立
