Chinese representative: US violates NPT and transfers nuclear weapons to other countries

This is reported by RIA Novosti.

“The deployment of nuclear weapons by the United States, and the authorization of their use from fighter aircraft in emergency situations, is exactly the transfer practice that violates the NPT,” he said.

According to the Chinese representative, the emergence of nuclear weapons in the Asia-Pacific region will undermine regional stability and provoke an escalation of the risks of a nuclear confrontation.

Kazakhstan has previously called on nuclear powers to develop a plan to eliminate nuclear weapons against the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine.

In 2021, the International Campaign to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons produced a report stating that the United States became the world leader in spending on nuclear weapons in 2020, spending $37.4 billion on them.
