Russia and the United States should significantly reduce nuclear arsenals to create conditions for joining other countries in the process of disarmament, Beijing believes.
China believes Russia should reduce its nuclear arsenal. This stated in a statement by the Ministry of the Chinese external in response to the US president Donald Trump’s proposal to initiate tripartite negotiations between Moscow, Beijing and Washington in denuclearization. The AFP reported it.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, a reduction in the number of nuclear warheads and their bearers should also remember the United States. This is a condition for starting the dialogue that Trump suggested.
“The two nuclear states with the largest nuclear arsenals should diligently fulfill their special obligations for nuclear disarmament,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement.
Russia and the United States should “significantly reduce nuclear arsenals to create the necessary conditions for the climb of other countries that have nuclear weapons in the disarmament process,” added the department.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump expressed his desire to achieve “denuclearization” through tripartite negotiations between Russia, USA and China. The next day, Russian president Vladimir Putin, in response, said “issues of strategic stability” could be a “point of contact” with the new US administration.
According to the Stockholm International Institute for Research Problems (SIPRI), in 2024 the United States had 3708 nuclear warheads ready to use, and Russia – 4380.
China owns 500 nuclear warheads, which is 90 over a year before. It has made Beijing the leader of the world in terms of increasing nuclear potential. By the number of warheads, France takes a third place (290 units), and the UK – the fourth (225 units).
Remember that China and Russia have conducted joint military training held in Japan’s sky and sea.
Earlier, the United States Department of the United States said China provides a “very significant” assistance to Russia to strengthen the Kremlin military engine in exchange for the secret Russian military technology of submarines and missiles.
