FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Speaking at a Vienna conference on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), senior Chinese diplomat and representative at the meeting, Ambassador Cheng Jingye, insisted that the development of missile systems are disruptive to the global strategic balance and should be abandoned, Reuters reported.
The Chinese official was apparently referring to US missile deployment plans in Europe that have drawn severe criticism from Russia.
Although the new US-Russia arms reduction treaty will presumably reduce strategic atomic weapons deployed by the two global nuclear rivals to no more than 1,550 within seven years on each side, they continue to hold by far the world’s most nuclear arms, according to the Chinese diplomat.
Britain, France and China remain as the other three principal nuclear weapons countries. However, the size of their atomic arsenals is reportedly in the hundreds and well below those of the US and Russia, which continue to possess thousands of nuclear warheads.
Ambassador Jingye reiterated that all nuclear weapons states must openly adopt policies against pursuing “permanent possession” of atomic bombs.
“As countries with [the] largest nuclear arsenals, US and Russia should continue to make drastic reductions in their nuclear arsenals in a verifiable and irreversible manner,” he emphasized in his statement.
He also called on “other nuclear weapon states” to join the “multilateral negotiations on nuclear disarmament,” provided that conditions are right.
India and Pakistan also possess nuclear arms, but have refused to join the NPT. The Israeli regime, on the other hand, is widely suspected of producing and holding atomic warheads and adamantly refuses to allow any international inspection of its nuclear program.
The Non-Aligned Movement of developing and other states have also called on the US and Russia to cut down on their atomic arsenals, voicing concerns that modernization of nuclear arms undermines the “minimal reductions” agreed by the countries.
