Beijing believes that the main responsibility for nuclear disarmament should fall on the states with the largest nuclear arsenals.

"China's nuclear capabilities in no way correspond to the levels of the US or Russia, therefore China currently does not intend to participate in nuclear disarmament negotiations," Jian stated at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
