China Urges U.S. and Russia to Resume Strategic Stability Dialogue

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference on February 6, addressing reports about U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for a new strategic weapons agreement with Russia. According to Jin10, Trump suggested a more comprehensive and long-term agreement rather than renewing the recently expired New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Lin Jian stated that China is not aware of specific details regarding the media reports but emphasized the importance of maintaining global strategic stability. He urged the U.S. to resume strategic stability talks with Russia to discuss arrangements following the treaty's expiration, a move that aligns with international expectations.
