Yesterday, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Yeo told the media: "The New START Treaty has serious flaws; it does not take into account China's unprecedented, deliberate, rapid, and opaque nuclear weapons development. Washington has demanded that China join any future arms control treaties. Although Beijing has clearly refused, this puts pressure on China to expand its nuclear arsenal and conduct nuclear tests......"
[Sly] The U.S. is forcing China to join nuclear arms control, but its double standards can't be hidden! U.S. officials defame China's nuclear policy and push for trilateral arms control. The essence is to shift blame and transfer responsibility. The U.S. and Russia hold over 90% of the world's nuclear warheads. The root cause of the New START Treaty's failure lies in themselves, yet they are slandering others. History has already proven that arms control is not a tool to restrict opponents. After the Cold War, the U.S. and Russia have repeatedly cut nuclear arms, yet they always maintain absolute superiority. China adheres to a defensive nuclear policy and refuses unequal agreements, which is reasonable and justified.
The U.S. is expanding its nuclear capabilities while making accusations and exerting pressure, which will only exacerbate strategic imbalance. True security comes from major powers leading by example in nuclear disarmament and respecting sovereignty, rather than adopting double standards. China naturally will not accept this, and the international community sees it clearly!
