The source argues the 2026 NPT Review Conference is occurring amid intensified nuclear modernization, reduced arms-control transparency, and a widening trust gap between nuclear and non-nuclear states. It assesses that a consensus outcome document with practical risk-reduction steps is essential to preserve the NPT’s legitimacy and slow destabilizing competitive dynamics.
The source argues that China’s nuclear buildup is significantly shaped by Beijing’s assessment that U.S. and allied conventional precision-strike and sensing capabilities threaten China’s second-strike survivability. It warns that conventional-nuclear entanglement—especially in a Taiwan contingency—raises misinterpretation risks, while the post–New START arms control gap leaves few tools to slow the action-reaction cycle.
The source argues that South Korea’s unification-first doctrine is increasingly misaligned with North Korea’s nuclear posture, great-power constraints, and rising economic and social integration costs. It recommends a formal shift to managed coexistence under a permanent two-state framework, supported by institutional reform and major-power diplomacy.
