Nuclear weaponry poses a special set of challenges as Donald Trump and the United States abandon past commitments. Restoring stable relationships between nuclear powers is essential, and China certainly has a place at the table.

The Trump administration’s recently released national security, national defense, and nuclear strategies make clear that China and Russia have become the pacing threat for U.S. national security managers. However, the NPR likely errs in stating that Chinese officials are “increasing nuclear threats.” Unlike Moscow and Washington, Beijing has a declared no-first-use doctrine.

Concerns over China's military modernization are made clear in the document.

The crux of the issue lies in the US’ ulterior motives.

China urges the U.S. to discard "cold-war mentality", saying it opposes the Nuclear Posture Review published by Pentagon.

If the US and South Korea agree to dual suspension, North Korea should agree to a timetable for its denuclearization – or be denuclearized by force.

Particularly after the election of the progressive Moon Jae-in as president of South Korea, it is opportune to consider whether American policy toward the North is due for a radical rethinking.

For China, Trump’s sleight of hand through pushing for a new round of nuclear arms race is nothing but a distraction. What China needs most now is to mend its own business well per its own plan.

The most fundamental driving force for the pact is the profound and deepening development toward a multipolar world. Economic globalization has closely integrated the interests of all countries, and the conception of a community of common destiny for all mankind has taken root, replacing the sort of unilateralism most recently practiced by the United States.
