US and China will start negotiating nuclear weapons control - Bloomberg

China produces nuclear weapons faster than expected. This year, Beijing had about 500 nuclear warheads and plans to get more than 1000 to Kinets in 2030. The US and China next week will start negotiations on nuclear weapons before the SI and Biden meeting. The US Presidential Administration wants to discuss the growing arsenal of China. Bloomberg writes about it.

According to the administration, the United States intends to negotiate with China on nuclear weapons control against the backdrop of growing concern about how Beijing quickly began to create its arsenal. "The purpose of discussions is not to reduce China arsenal, but to give Biden administration to better understand China's plans after the Pentagon's report was published that China produces nuclear weapons faster than expected," the newspaper writes.

Negotiations will be held during President Joe Baiden's preparation to meet with China's leader Xi Jinping during the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco in less than two weeks. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US would be represented by the Secretary of State Secretary of Mlorus Stuart, and China will send Sun Xiaoooobo, who heads the Department for Control of the Arms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

In October, the Pentagon published a report stating that this year China had about 500 nuclear warheads and plans to receive more than 1000 to 2030, which was faster than expected. The US has about 3,700 nuclear warheads. The United States also seek to stop the tripartite race of nuclear weapons with Russia and China, especially through negotiations on the extension of the New Start Treaty, which expires in 2026, and stopped due to Russia's invasion of Russia.
