AI justification

Quantitative nuclear expansion undermines global disarmament and increases existential risk. | The action directly undermines global nuclear disarmament commitments and increases the risk of nuclear conflict, violating core principles of peace and security. While China's nuclear posture may be framed as defensive, the quantitative increase in warheads contributes to a destabilizing arms race, conflicting with SDG 16 and UDHR disarmament obligations.
