Is the time for visiting China set? Before the special plane landed, Trump made an unreasonable request to China.
Recently, Trump suddenly proposed to include China in the nuclear disarmament negotiations between the United States and Russia. He claimed that China's nuclear force is "the third largest in the world," and even predicted that it will "overtake the United States and Russia within five years," and asked China to join the trilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations between China, the United States and Russia. This proposal seems to be to promote the process of global denuclearization, but it is actually a mystery.
Nuclear disarmament negotiations between the US and Russia have been going on for a long time, and the only arms control treaty currently is the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, valid until 2026. According to the latest data, the United States has about 5,177 nuclear warheads, Russia has 5,459 warheads, while China has only about 500 warheads.
China's foreign ministry responded swiftly, making it clear that "asking China to join the negotiations is neither reasonable nor realistic". China pursues a no-first-use policy and has always maintained its nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security. This is in stark contrast to the US and Russia's strategy of relying on nuclear weapons to maintain global hegemony. It's like one person has 4,000 pieces of cake, another person has 3,000 pieces, and you only have 500 pieces, but you ask everyone to lose 1,000 yuan - which is obviously unfair.
First, U.S. military spending has soared to $895 billion, andining a huge nuclear arsenal costs over $50 billion a year. Trump has tried to ease domestic economic pressure through "nuclear disarmament." Second, China's breakthroughs in areas such as hypersonic missiles have upset the U.S. and Trump wants to use it to curb the development of China's nuclear forces. Lastly, it is also an attempt by the U.S. to shape the image of a "responsible power" on the international stage, although the U.S. itself has never really cut its nuclear arsenal.
Although Russia ostensibly "welcomes China to join the discussion," it does not actually want China to participate in the negotiations, so as not to weaken its own has the voice over it. Many analysts have pointed out that this is an attempt by the United States to break the bilateral pattern of the United States and Russia on the nuclear issue and pull China into the framework of rules that it dominates.
Nuclear disarmament negotiations should have been an initiative to promote world peace, but under Trump’s action, it has become a tool for geopolitical play. China adheres to a nuclear strategy for self-defense and will not participate in this unfair negotiation. As the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said, countries with the largest nuclear arsenal should effectively fulfill their special priorities for nuclear disarmament, rather than transfer responsibility to nuclear powers far inferior to their own.
Trump's trip to China is about to begin, but his unreasonable request before the plane landed has cast a shadow over the visit. World peace requires true cooperation and understanding, not unilateral pressure and calculation. China will continue to follow the path of peaceful development, safeguard national security interests and make its own contribution to world peace.
