China Suspends Nuclear Arms Control Talks with US Over Taiwan Arms Sales
Jul 17, 2024, 02:45 PM
China has suspended discussions with the United States on arms control and non-proliferation consultations due to Washington's continued arms sales to Taiwan. The decision was announced by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian on July 17, 2024. Beijing has expressed that the US's actions undermine China's core interests and mutual political trust. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that the responsibility for the suspension lies entirely with the US, which has ignored China's firm opposition and repeated representations. The suspension also includes nuclear arms control talks. The US State Department has expressed regret over Beijing's decision, noting that this approach undermines strategic stability and increases the risk of arms race dynamics.
