China does not plan to participate in negotiations between the USA and Russia regarding nuclear weapons due to significant discrepancies in the size of their nuclear arsenals. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiaqian emphasized that demanding China to join a prolonged trilateral agreement is unreasonable.
'The nuclear capabilities of China and the United States are at different levels, and the strategic security environment and nuclear policies of these countries are also absolutely different. Therefore, demanding China to participate in prolonged trilateral negotiations on nuclear disarmament with the USA and Russia is unrealistic', - emphasized the Chinese diplomat.
China possesses far fewer nuclear weapons compared to the American stockpile, so its participation in such negotiations would be ineffective at this time. China adheres to a no-first-use policy regarding nuclear weapons and supports a defensive nuclear strategy, while countries with the largest nuclear arsenals must fulfill their obligations regarding nuclear disarmament.
China has refused to participate in negotiations between the USA and Russia regarding nuclear weapons control due to significant differences in the sizes of their nuclear arsenals. The Chinese government explained its position, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the conditions and obligations regarding nuclear disarmament.
