China will not attend US-Russia nuclear disarmament talks on June 22, with the Foreign Ministry considering the US invite ‘ridiculous.’ Russia downplayed this, saying they never expected China to attend.
The US and Russia are to discuss ways to get nuclear arms limitation back going. The US has tried to condition this on limiting China too, even though China has far fewer arms than the US or China.
Russia has said they’re fine with bilateral talks or broader ones. China is not interested at all, and the open question is if the US will keep delaying the talks over China.
Russia has already warned it may be too late to extend New START in time, with or without China. Either way, US officials are threatening a new arms race.
When Israel, India, Pakistan, France, GB and NK are not included in the talks……..why should China participate.
First round talks should be between US -where “US” is defined as including its vassal states (Israel, GB, and France)- and Russia with the goal: reduction to China levels in all categories. That achieved, the second round would need to include China, and the goal reduction to India level, nso on.
New START may be in danger. More dangerously, the NPT might also be at risk. That would lead to another nuclear arms race, or more precisely a race to re-arm. A localized nuclear dispute could trigger a global one.

Of course the precondition for any meaningful talks requires the US to abandon its policy doctrine of global hegemony and full spectrum dominance, and to demonstrably accede to geo multi-polarity, international law, and the institutions of international comity.
Then so much for any meaningful talks.
Not till the War Party (neocons/zionists) are dislodged, anyway.
No need for China to go . Russia and China are together when it comes to defense against NATO the North American terrorist Organization .
