Nuclear treaty talk - USA can have 1000 warheads, China can have 100

The USA 'demands' that China must be a party to any arms control setup. The question is what kind of setup that is not under the control of the USA or the West? The Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) between Russia and USA has been allowed to lapse by the USA itself on February 5th, 2026, so why is the USA now trying to play games by dragging the issue of China not being a party to the negotiations for a new treaty, when China is already a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The reason that China is building up its nuclear arsenal is no different from the USA doing the same in secret. The USA cannot be trusted on anything under the sun and certainly not its claim to morality under any treaty.

China's nuclear arsenal is only a fraction of what the USA or Russia now possessed. China will be writing its demise by allowing itself to be dragged into a trap where it cannot increase its deterrence. China may even be told when to and when not to use its nuclear weapons in times of conflict, lol.

China must never be dictated to by any kind of deal prefixed by the word 'demand'. Trump can do what he likes even with agreements in place and can opt out to enable him to increase his arsenal, after which he will again make demands. Why pull out of nuclear deal and then try to force the other party to the table? Just look at the nuclear deal with Iran, which he tore apart after just two years in force. Is this the kind of deal that China will want to go into?
