Today's Focus: A Shocking Revelation! A Message to the World: This Is What the Chinese People Are Like!

56 years ago today, the Chinese people once again shocked the world!

On the morning of June 17, 1967, at around 8 am, a H-6 bomber carrying a hydrogen bomb arrived at the designated airspace.

Immediately afterwards, the pilot dropped China's first full-yield hydrogen bomb.

A few seconds later, a light brighter than a thousand suns burst forth over Lop Nur!

China's first hydrogen bomb test was a success!

The news sent China into a frenzy of celebration!

The news spread around the world, shocking everyone!

Because, to Western countries, the Chinese seemed like an enigma.

Because, after the explosion of its first atomic bomb, China detonated a hydrogen bomb in a remarkably short time—just 2 years and 8 months!

Why did this event leave the world so perplexed?

Let's look at the time it took other nuclear powers.

From possessing an atomic bomb to possessing a hydrogen bomb.

The United States took 7 years and 3 months.

The Soviet Union took 6 years and 3 months.

The United Kingdom took 4 years and 7 months.

China's scientific research conditions at the time were far inferior to those of the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom.

At that time, China's overall national strength and technological capabilities were also significantly weaker than these countries.

Therefore, based on common sense, it was highly likely that China would have taken about 10 years to go from detonating an atomic bomb to detonating a hydrogen bomb!

However, reality defied everyone's expectations!

China accomplished this feat in just 2 years and 8 months!

October 16, 1964: China's first atomic bomb exploded.

June 17, 1967: China's first hydrogen bomb successfully exploded!

China's earth-shattering explosion shocked the world.

The reaction of another country is even more noteworthy.

That is France.

News of China's hydrogen bomb explosion quickly reached France.

This shocking news infuriated the French president!

He couldn't understand how China, a "backward country" in his eyes, could have developed a hydrogen bomb before France!

Why was the French president so furious?

Because, in the race to develop nuclear weapons, France had started earlier than China.

In February 1960, France successfully detonated an atomic bomb, becoming the fourth country to possess nuclear weapons.

China, however, only acquired its own atomic bomb four years after France.

What France never expected was:

China, which was originally considered behind France, had actually surpassed France in the development of hydrogen bombs!

China became the fourth country in the world to possess a hydrogen bomb.

One year after China's hydrogen bomb detonation, France finally, and belatedly, detonated its first hydrogen bomb.

China developed its hydrogen bomb in the shortest amount of time.

What is its great historical significance?

For the Western world, this earth-shattering explosion in western China came too quickly, too suddenly!

No wonder, after China's hydrogen bomb explosion, foreign media made the following statement:

China is clearly ahead of France and is already a superpower!

With this sudden "earth-shattering explosion," China was using its actions to tell the West, to tell the world:

What the West can do, China can certainly do.

What the West cannot do, China can still do!

China, through repeated actions, has shown the world:

This is what China is like!

This is what the Chinese people are like!

Even if it means remaining anonymous, even if it means sacrificing their lives, they will achieve breakthroughs that shock the world!

They will ensure that China stands tall in the world!

But, it's truly unexpected.

More than 50 years have passed, and some countries still haven't woken up!

They still haven't understood what kind of country China is!

Take a look.

Today, the United States is still trying to use various tactics to contain and isolate China.

It is attempting to trap China through technological blockade!

The United States should look back.

Every time it has confronted China, or even fought against it, when has the United States ever achieved victory?

Shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao showed the United States what kind of China it was facing!

The Chinese people will never give up, never lose heart!

No matter what sacrifices are made, they will achieve ultimate victory!

A few days ago, Elon Musk, a leading figure in the American business world, visited China.

In these past few days, Bill Gates, a leading figure in the American technology world, visited China.

In a few more days, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will also visit China.

Why?

It is because, both the American public and the government have realized that China is unconquerable!

The hydrogen bomb of 56 years ago not only gave China a more powerful nuclear deterrent.

It also showed the world once again China's strength, confidence, and determination!

China is far stronger than Western countries imagine!

The "Two Bombs, One Satellite" spirit of more than 50 years ago continues to be passed down in China!

It has never been broken!

Whether in the Mao Zedong era or today's new era, the Chinese people have this spirit:

Never give up!

The more you blockade and suppress, the stronger and more energetic the Chinese people become!
