China today estimated that it was “irrational and unrealistic” to ask the country to participate in negotiations on nuclear disarmament with them and.
Guo Ziakun, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, made these statements after US President Donald Trump said he discussed control of nuclear weapons with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and added that he would like to get involved.
“China and the US nuclear forces are not at all at the same level and the security strategic environment and the two countries’ nuclear doctrine are completely different,” Guo said.
On the basis of its policy, China does not use first nuclear weapons and follows the self -defense nuclear strategy, a Chinese ministry spokesman said, explaining that Beijing will not be involved in armaments race with any other country.
“Countries with the largest nuclear arsenals should be served with seriously their special responsibility for nuclear disarmament,” he concluded.
Trump told reporters on Monday, in view of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Miung that “one of the things we are trying to do with Russia and China is the nuclearization and is very important.”
“I believe that nuclearization is a lot – it is a big goal, but Russia is willing to do so and I believe China will also be ready. We cannot allow nuclear weapons to be spread. We have to stop nuclear weapons, “the US president stressed.
