Xinhuanet: China won't join talks on trilateral nuclear disarmament deal: FM
BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhua) -- China will not participate in negotiations on any trilateral nuclear disarmament agreement, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday.
The United States recently raised the possibility of reaching a trilateral arms control deal with Russia and China, according to media reports.
Spokesperson Geng Shuang dismissed such a possibility at a press briefing.

Our nuclear forces have been at the lowest level of national security needs and are not on the same scale with the United States and Russia."

You forgot to mention that China's nuclear arsenal is about one-fifth of that of the US and Russia and is on a much different posture. Plus, unlike the US, China has a no-first-use declared policy.
