The U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said on the 6th that China must participate in a new nuclear missile treaty.
He stated, "The previous arms control system based on U.S.-Russia bilateral agreements no longer reflects the current reality, as China has significantly expanded its nuclear capabilities in recent years. Any arms control agreement that does not take into account China's nuclear expansion will inevitably weaken the security guarantees of the United States and its allies."
Commentary: Rubio's remarks are a typical example of the United States' blame-shifting, setting traps, and double standards after the failure of the New START Treaty. It shifts the responsibility for the failure of U.S.-Russia bilateral arms control to China, using the excuse of "China's nuclear expansion" to force China into an unequal negotiation, essentially aiming to restrict China's right of self-defense and find a reason to loosen its own nuclear expansion. The U.S. and Russia hold more than 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, yet they demand China, which has a much smaller nuclear arsenal, to share the same constraints, which is both unfair and unreasonable. China's position is clear: nuclear arms control should prioritize major powers in reducing their arsenals and ensure equal security, and it will not accept being forced into a pre-set trap for a three-party negotiation.
