Nuclear escalation between India and China was not only unlikely but also unthinkable, a Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report on 'South Asia's Nuclear Challenges', released on Thursday, said.
A nuclear escalation between India and China is not only unlikely but also unthinkable, said a report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on ‘South Asia’s Nuclear Challenges’ based on interviews with 119 experts from India, China, the US, Russia and Pakistan. “Among Chinese and Indian experts, there was a prevailing view that they shared the same stance on no first use, and that nuclear escalation between the two countries was not only unlikely but also unthinkable,” the Swedish think tank said in its report. The interviews of 119 political, military, nuclear and regional experts were conducted between May and August 2020. Many of those interviewed were serving military officials.More Related News
