Possible Chinese nuclear testing stirs US concern
By Michael R. Gordon    The Wall Street Journal

China might be secretly conducting nuclear tests with very low explosive power despite Beijing's assertions that it is strictly adhering to an international accord banning all nuclear tests, according to a new arms-control report to be made public by the State Department.

The coming report doesn't present proof that China is violating its promise to uphold the agreement, but it cites an array of activities that "raise concerns" that Beijing might not be upholding the "zero-yield" nuclear-weapons testing ban.

The concerns stem from the high tempo of activity at China's Lop Nur test site, extensive excavations at the site, and China's purported use of special chambers to contain explosions.

The Chinese Communist Party's conducting covert nuclear tests is yet another reason to unsign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

And he actually continues with a few more posts on this, see thread.  In the thread, he actually tweets out a Wapo story from JUNE, 2019, still.  If one studied it, I'd think one would have to concede, Senator Cotton is pretty much on top of these issues with the utmost concern for the nation.

So, this seems a sensitive matter.

Interesting.
What kind of "special chamber" will conceal even a small nuclear explosion...?

The top issue in this election should be China.  If the Republicans focus on this, they should do very well in November top to bottom.

But the Republicans aren't known for doing the right thing.
