The video, which appeared on a channel approved by the CCP, singles out Japan as the one exception to China’s policy to not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers, reports Fox News.

"We will use nuclear bombs first," the video was quoted as saying by the news channel. "We will use nuclear bombs continuously. We will do this until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time."

The CCP claims that it will "liberate Taiwan," and it warns against Japan deploying "one soldier, one plane or one ship",  read the news report.

Chinese platform Xingua eliminated the video after it gained 2 million views.

Prior to its deletion, netizens posted it on Western social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter, reports Taiwan News.
