U.S. Ambassador Says China Is Resisting Nuclear Arms Talks

Reuters: U.S. says China is resisting nuclear arms talks 

GENEVA (Reuters) - China is resisting bilateral talks with the United States on nuclear weapons, the U.S. disarmament ambassador told a U.N. conference on Tuesday, as Washington seeks to advance efforts to reduce nuclear arms stockpiles. 

"Despite the PRC's dramatic build-up of its nuclear arsenal, unfortunately it continues to resist discussing nuclear risk reduction bilaterally with the United States," said Robert Wood, referring to the People's Republic of China. 

 "To date Beijing has not been willing to engage meaningfully or establish expert discussions similar to those we have with Russia. 

We sincerely hope that will change," he added. In an apparent rebuttal, China's envoy later told the same virtual U.N. meeting that Beijing was prepared for dialogue.

WNU Editor: The current priority of the Chinese government/military is to build up their nuclear forces. It is not a priority for them to enter into talks that will limit them.

It has been argued that being knowledgeable about many things is not the same thing as being very intelligent. American diplomats seem to be a case study. They know what they know and they believe the world works or should work a certain way. These guys were pushing rope form the get go. They'll get temporarily dismayed, will go to sleep and go back to pushing rope the next day. The benefits package is great so at the end of the day they can hold their head up.

Scrapping foreign service would be a good first step.
