How is that relevant to the comments you are replying to?

China does not need nuclear weapons to take Taiwan, and for both military and political reasons it would be incredibly stupid for them to resort to nuclear threats. And as mentioned they have a no-first-use policy.

It gives credence to Moscow’s no-first use commitment ringing hollow.

Russia does not have a "no-first-use commitment". The only countries with such a commitment are China and India.

Sorry, you are correct. My general point was what Moscow says about its nuclear policy isn't particularly informative for predicting its behaviour. China has analogy in its breached commitments to Hong Kong.
