President Biden's approved Nuclear Employment Guidance reorients America's deterrent strategy to address the significant increase in China's nuclear capabilities, acknowledging the strategic landscape's evolution.
The highly classified document, updated approximately every four years, has been revised to prepare the U.S. for potential coordinated nuclear challenges from China, Russia, and North Korea.
Experts like Vipin Narang stress that this new guidance responds to not only the growth of China's nuclear stockpile but also the complexities of simultaneous and sequential nuclear crises.
The White House’s silence on the approval underlines the sensitive nature of the U.S. nuclear strategy while also indicating its plans to address advanced threats from multiple adversaries.
