The United States should put an end to its "microphone diplomacy" regarding arms control issues, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday (19 March).
On Monday, US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that the United States stands ready to engage in bilateral arms control talks with China and Russia without any preconditions. Commenting on the proposal, the Russian Foreign Ministry told.
"China and the US have channels for dialogue on arms control and nuclear non-proliferation, Washington should stop "microphone diplomacy,'" Lin told reporters.
Countries with the largest nuclear arsenals must reduce them to promote the international arms control process, the diplomat added.
