Editing Nuclear electromagnetic pulse (section)

===China===
According to a statement made in writing by the [[Chinese military]], the country has super-EMPs and has discussed their use in attacking [[Taiwan]]. Such an attack would debilitate information systems in the nation, allowing China to move in and attack it directly using soldiers. The Taiwanese military has subsequently confirmed Chinese possession of super-EMPs and their possible destruction to [[power grid]]s.<ref name=":1">{{cite report |last1=Pry |first1=Peter V. |date=2020-06-10 |title=China: EMP Threat: The People's Republic of China Military Doctrine, Plans, and Capabilities for Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack |docket=AD1102202 |language=en |via=[[Defense Technical Information Center]] |df=dmy-all |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD1102202 |access-date=2022-08-11 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210502044333/https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD1102202 |archive-date=2021-05-02}}</ref>

In addition to Taiwan, the possible implications of attacking the [[United States]] with these weapons was examined by China. While the United States also possesses nuclear weapons, the country has not experimented with super-EMPs and is hypothetically highly vulnerable to any future attacks by nations. This is due to the country's reliance on computers to control much of the government and economy.<ref name=":0"/> Abroad, U.S. aircraft carriers stationed within a reasonable range of an exploding bomb could potentially be subject to complete destruction of missiles on board, as well as [[telecommunication systems]] that would allow them to communicate with nearby vessels and controllers on land.<ref name=":1"/>
