What happened

The US is persistently trying to force China to join arms control talks despite Beijing’s unwillingness, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.

Why it matters

"The very idea of multilateral arms control talks among nuclear powers is being thwarted by the US' persistent desire to make China's participation mandatory.

Common ground

At the same time, Beijing's consistent position of not participating in such talks at this stage is being ignored," the senior diplomat noted.
