China refuses nuclear disarmament talks with US and Russia, citing focus on self-defense.

China has declined to join nuclear disarmament talks with the US and Russia, stating it is "neither reasonable nor realistic" for them to participate. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized that China's nuclear policy focuses on self-defense and "no first use," maintaining that countries with larger arsenals should lead disarmament efforts. This response comes after US President Donald Trump called for China's involvement in nuclear arms control discussions.
