Xinhuanet: China won't join talks on trilateral nuclear disarmament deal: FM
BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhua) -- China will not participate in negotiations on any trilateral nuclear disarmament agreement, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday.
The United States recently raised the possibility of reaching a trilateral arms control deal with Russia and China, according to media reports.
Spokesperson Geng Shuang dismissed such a possibility at a press briefing.

Our nuclear forces have been at the lowest level of national security needs and are not on the same scale with the United States and Russia."
