**China's Nuclear Weapons Treaty Initiative and US-Russian Response**
Hello everyone, I am the editor, and today I will talk about a particularly interesting thing in the world recently. Having said that, at the beginning of this year, China put forward a big move -- the "Mutual No-First-Use Treaty" initiative. This initiative can be said to have shocked the world, not only in terms of materiality, but also in depth. Now that this initiative has become an official document, we intend to call for a new international treaty on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) before the opening of the Preparatory Committee for the NPT Review Conference, which will begin on the 22nd. Such a big action, do you think it won't work?

It all started on the 17th, when our Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian confirmed one thing: because United States has ignored our resolute opposition for a long time and done a lot of things that infringe on China's sovereignty and core interests, we have decided to suspend arms control and non-proliferation consultations with the United States. As soon as this news came out, the US side could be said to be in a panic. Why? Because now the nuclear arms control system of the United States and Russia is on the verge of collapse due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and China has the ability to expand its nuclear arsenal. U.S. imperialism fears that if China expands its nuclear arsenal, its strategic plan to contain China will be cool.
When the US side saw that the situation was not good, of course it was in a hurry! All along, the United States wants to pull us into the nuclear arms control negotiation system, but while shouting for negotiations, it keeps doing things that harm our interests. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken also wants to meet with our Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting. Just trying to bring us back to the negotiating table. But we've decided to suspend the negotiations, and even if Blinken comes to the door in person, it's hard to change that.
However, we in China are not saying that we do not talk about arms control at all. In fact, in the current global security environment, nuclear arms control is indeed much less relevant than before. The United States and Russia have been talking for 20 years, and they have indeed reduced some nuclear arsenals, but a Russia-Ukraine conflict has pushed the world into the shadow of nuclear war. Therefore, we put forward our own initiative at the beginning of the year, which is of great significance and has a very positive effect on the global avoidance of nuclear war.
When the US side saw that we were so serious, it did not dare to openly oppose it. So, after we suspended negotiations for 4 days, that is, on the 21st, just as we submitted the draft, the National Nuclear Security Administration under the United States Department of Energy announced the United States nuclear weapons stockpile as of September last year, hey, there are 3748 nuclear warheads! It also announced that the United States destroyed more than 12,000 nuclear warheads in 20 years, from fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 2023. At this time, United States President Joe Biden and Russia President Vladimir Putin also jumped out to say that they would study our initiative.
Biden's move is to show the "sincerity" of United States, hoping to pull us back into nuclear arms control negotiations so that we can continue to push forward their plan to constrain the development of our nuclear arsenal. What do netizens think about this? Let's take a look at a few netizen comments:
Netizen "Xiao Li Feidao" said: "United States is bottomless in its heart, right? Just say that you don't practice fake tricks, or we in China do what we say! ”
Netizen "Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest" commented: "Biden made a statement at this time, it seems that he is really panicked. China's initiative is so sincere, let's see how they take it. ”
Netizens "chasing the wind in the wind" ridiculed: "The American imperialist is always so virtuous, while trying to pull us to talk, while stabbing us in the back, let's not eat this set!" ”
Netizen "Little Panda" said with a smile: "China's actions this time are too handsome, and they will directly make the United States and Russia have to follow suit, who makes us have strength here!" ”
Netizen "Lone Ranger" said: "I hope there can really be a good result this time, global security is still the most important." Support China's initiative! ”
In short, China's initiative not only shows the demeanor of a great power, but also makes the United States and Russia have to pay attention to it. This "big drama" of nuclear arms control has just begun, let's wait and see!
