China has urged the United States to respect its commitment to suspend nuclear testing and stop creating pretexts for resuming such activities.
Speaking at a daily press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning dismissed recent U.S. claims that China had conducted nuclear explosion tests. She accused Washington of attempting to tarnish other nations’ reputations in order to avoid fulfilling its own international arms control obligations.
Mao emphasized that such actions could damage the United States’ credibility regarding global non-proliferation and arms control commitments. China reaffirmed that it continues to uphold the voluntary moratorium on nuclear tests and remains committed to supporting international arms control efforts.
