China has dismissed former President Donald Trump's proposal to include the country in nuclear disarmament talks, labeling the suggestion as "unreasonable and unrealistic." Guo Jiakun, spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, articulated the nation's stance on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
Guo emphasized the disparity between the nuclear capabilities and policies of China and the United States, asserting that the two countries operate under vastly different strategic security conditions. His comments came in response to Trump's recent statements advocating for trilateral negotiations involving China, the U.S., and Russia.
This exchange occurs against a backdrop of escalating tensions in global nuclear policy discussions. Trump's calls for inclusion of China in disarmament talks reflect ongoing concerns about nuclear proliferation, particularly with rising geopolitical tensions in Asia. Earlier this year, similar discussions were overshadowed by Russia's proposal for a nuclear plant in Niger, aimed at enhancing energy independence.
The Chinese government's firm rejection of Trump's proposal signals a potential roadblock in international disarmament efforts. As previously reported, the dynamics between nuclear powers continue to evolve, raising questions about future negotiations and global security frameworks.
