China rejected US attempts to resume arms control negotiations after the November 2023 nuclear weapons meeting - US representative to Semafor
"Unfortunately, the PRC declined the subsequent meeting and did not provide a substantive response to the options proposed by the United States," a State Department spokesman said.
The representative stated, that the Biden administration has proposed "common sense steps to address the fundamental risks of conflict and uncontrolled escalation in the nuclear and space domains." This included improving crisis communications with Beijing, introducing pre-launch notifications for strategic ballistic missile test launches and efforts to reduce tensions in space.
Chinese Embassy spokesman in Washington Liu Penyu said the US should "stop its megaphone diplomacy" and instead called on "countries with large nuclear arsenals" to "significantly and substantially" reduce their own nuclear arsenals for further arms control negotiations.
