China says U.S. fabricating excuses to resume nuclear tests
China’s foreign ministry on Wednesday said the U.S. accusation of China conducting nuclear explosive tests is entirely unfounded.
It said China opposed the United States fabricating excuses to resume nuclear tests.
Responding to a relevant query at a regular press briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian said persistent U.S. distortion and smearing of China’s nuclear policy essentially constitutes political manipulation.
Mr Lin said the U.S. is aimed at pursuing nuclear hegemony and evading its own nuclear disarmament responsibilities.
“China firmly opposes this,” Mr Lin said, stressing that the United States is the biggest source of disruption to both the international nuclear order and global strategic stability.
Mr Lin noted that by allowing the New START Treaty to expire without renewal, the United States has severely undermined mutual trust among major countries and shaken global strategic stability.
