With signs that China is resuming nuclear testing in the country, in this first session of FY2023, we discussed signs of China's resumption of nuclear testing as well as their intentions and the implications that this will cause, by analyzing satellite images of the Lop Nur Nuclear Test Site in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
The speaker of this session was Yuki Kobayashi, SPF Research Fellow and author of “Signs of China’s Resumption of Nuclear Tests: Strong Determination to Bolster Nuclear Force and the Crisis of Nuclear Proliferation.” The discussant was Hiroyuki Akita, commentator of Nikkei. Additionally, SPF Senior Fellow Bonji Ohara moderated the discussion.
