U.S. diplomatic missions in China wrote today (February 6): "Secretary of State Rubio said: President Trump has clearly stated that China cannot be excluded from achieving real arms control in the 21st century — because China has a large and rapidly growing nuclear arsenal."
Comments: The U.S. and Russia hold more than 90% of the world's nuclear weapons. However, the U.S. never mentions its own overwhelmingly superior nuclear arsenal, but instead uses the false narrative of China's "large and rapidly growing" nuclear arsenal as an excuse to forcibly bring China into nuclear arms control negotiations, which should primarily be the responsibility of the U.S. and Russia. This is essentially an excuse for the U.S. to abandon treaties and expand its nuclear capabilities, while using unfair rules to restrain China's self-defense nuclear forces. The so-called "real arms control" is nothing more than a hegemonic rhetoric by the U.S., allowing itself to expand nuclear capabilities while not allowing other countries to protect themselves. It violates the basic common sense of nuclear arms control and ignores China's defensive nuclear strategy and minimum deterrence principle, and will further undermine global strategic stability, increasing nuclear risks.
