China has suspended talks with the United States on arms control and non-proliferation consultations, with China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs blaming Washington for continuing to engage in defence sales to Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a rogue province.
In an article published on the website of China’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) on 17 July, citing state-run news outlet CGTN, it was revealed that China had “decided to suspend talks with the United States” on holding a new round of consultations over arms control and non-proliferation.
The responsibility for the suspension “lies squarely on the US side”, said Lin Jian, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to the MND article.
