US Invites China To Arms Control Talks

China did not join initial US-Russia talks last month in Vienna on the treaty, which expires in February. The United States nonetheless saw the glass as half-full and seized on the statement, saying that Marshall Billingslea, the US negotiator, would invite China to talks to follow up. Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to the United States, said Wednesday it remained “crystal clear” that China was not ready to participate — and that Moscow, while not opposed to Beijing’s role, would not join US pressure to bring in the Asian power.

If the United States and Russia do not reduce their arsenals, a future treaty could effectively condone China ramping up its arsenal to the extent of the other two nations, he said.
