China Participation in the framework of the US-Russia nuclear disarmament treaty Clearly refused Dec. 12:47
The US is seeking a framework for nuclear disarmament, including China, over the extension of the US-Russia nuclear disarmament treaty “New START”, which expires in the next year, while a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry “will not participate” Clearly refused.
The “New START” will expire in February of the next year under the US-Russia nuclear disarmament treaty that stipulates the reduction of strategic nuclear warheads.
Over the extension of the treaty, the United States has insisted on a new framework that China has added, saying that the existing treaties cannot prevent China and Russia from expanding their arms. I emphasized this attitude at the meeting.
Regarding this, a spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry, Mr. Hua Chun, said at the press conference on the 11th, “We are not going to participate in the framework of the United States and Russia, and this position is clear,” Clearly refused.
On top of that, a spokesman for Wah accused the US of his attitude, saying, “In the issue of nuclear disarmament, the United States is always trying to bring about China and pass on its responsibility, and we strongly oppose it.”
The US / Russia INF = Medium-Range Nuclear Missile Abolition Treaty, which was one of the pillars of nuclear disarmament, expired in August.
In addition, China clearly refuses the framework of the three countries claimed by the United States, and the future of nuclear disarmament is not foreseeable.
