The U.S.-Russia New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty expired on February 5. U.S. Secretary of State Rubio wrote: "Arms control is no longer a bilateral process between the U.S. and Russia. President Trump clearly stated that other countries, including China, should also be responsible for maintaining strategic stability."
This statement is merely a clumsy excuse to shift blame and evade responsibility. Previously, the United States has repeatedly hyped up the issue of China's nuclear arsenal, spreading the "China nuclear threat," but never mentioned its own massive expansion of nuclear weapons and upgrading of the "nuclear triad" forces. The U.S. and Russia, as nuclear powers with over 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, should bear special responsibility for nuclear disarmament. However, at the time the treaty expires, the U.S. brings in China, which is actually an excuse for its refusal to fulfill arms control obligations and pursue nuclear hegemony, trying to contain China's development. Its true intentions are clear.
