Talks expected on Monday would be first since Obama administration and follow visit to Washington by Wang Yi, Chinese foreign minister

China and the United States will reportedly discuss nuclear arms control next week, the first such talks since the Obama administration.

The talks would be led on Monday by Mallory Stewart, a senior state department official, and Sun Xiaobo, the head of the arms control department at China’s foreign ministry, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

On Monday, China’s foreign ministry said the two countries would hold “consultations on arms control and non-proliferation” in the coming days, as well as separate talks on maritime affairs and other issues. It follows a visit to Washington by the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi.

    Seemed fake the whole time. The real thing is I just gotta launch my bombs first and yours you got on display go off where they are. But do you really want to do it and see all that destruction and change or will any change to your life actually go on if everything already stopped being shipped or produced. Sometimes we wanted to be bombed instead. We may survive but no one else will. We did all that studying and survival stuff when it wasn’t necessary to. If your phone still worked or the internet you could rebuild a civilization from it without buying or selling or advertising on it.

Japanese people only like extremely bright light bulbs with or without the radiation, so eventually there may be no other option or backlight control on your tv or cell phone, or dimmers on light bulbs. They may also never go to sleep because of carbs and meth and health stuff existing that makes you healthier than if you slept 32 hours straight.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    China and the United States will reportedly discuss nuclear arms control next week, the first such talks since the Obama administration.

    On Monday, China’s foreign ministry said the two countries would hold “consultations on arms control and non-proliferation” in the coming days, as well as separate talks on maritime affairs and other issues.

    The US state department and China’s embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests by Reuters for comment on the timing or format of the talks.

    The US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in 2021 that the Chinese and US presidents had agreed to “look to begin to carry forward discussion on strategic stability”, a reference to Washington’s concerns about Beijing’s nuclear weapons buildup.

    Since then, US officials have expressed frustration that China showed little interest in discussing steps to reduce nuclear weapons risks.

    A flurry of China-US diplomatic engagements in recent months, largely at Washington’s request, has sought to salvage what were rapidly deteriorating ties between the two countries after the US downing in February of a suspected Chinese spy balloon over the United States.

      The US and Soviets managed to negotiate an arms control treaty, I see no reason why China and US cannot either.

        Honestly more likely than talks with USSR. China has had a vocal minimalist stance towards nuclear weapons. Mao was of the opinion that anymore than the minimum required for MAD was a waste. Shockingly reasonable opinion for the geezer.

          Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

          The objective isn’t to have no nukes 👏. It’s to reduce current yield, not advance the technology, and reduced profeliration.

          The diminishing returns from 70 years ago are harsh you fucking moron.

          This place is actually fucking dumber than Reddit.
