No Evidence China Conducted Nuclear Test: Monitor
An international monitoring body said there is no evidence supporting recent allegations that China conducted a nuclear explosive test, countering claims made in a United States assessment. The statement has added to debate over verification and transparency in global nuclear activity.
Monitor Rejects China Nuclear Blast Claim
The monitoring organisation reported it had not detected signals consistent with a nuclear explosion. Its sensors and data analysis did not indicate an event matching characteristics of a prohibited nuclear test.
Officials said the global monitoring system continuously tracks seismic and atmospheric indicators linked to nuclear detonations.
Dispute Over US Nuclear Allegations
The US had raised concerns about possible low-yield nuclear activity, while the monitoring body said available technical data does not support that conclusion. The differing assessments highlight challenges in interpreting underground signals and intelligence reports.
Experts noted verification depends on both technical measurements and broader analysis.
Implications For Arms Control Debate
The exchange has renewed discussion around international monitoring frameworks and confidence-building measures among major powers. Analysts say transparency and information sharing remain key to preventing misunderstandings.
Diplomatic channels are expected to continue addressing concerns as monitoring agencies keep reviewing data.
