During a telephone press conference on the afternoon of 1.10 in his visit to Vietnam, the special envoy of the United States president for arms control, Ambassador Marshall Billingslea warned of the danger that China would use nuclear weapons to carry out acts of intimidation and coercion. “China is not bound by any treaty, freely expanding its arsenal with a wide variety of nuclear warhead missiles. Beijing aims to have the ‘Nuclear Trio’ (that is, ground-launched nuclear missiles, submarines and bombers), “Billingslea said.
However, Billingslea claimed that the United States has enough power to prevent China from deploying missiles against the US navy, its allies and partners in Asia. Billingslea pointed out that the United States wants China to sit at the tripartite negotiating table with Russia to extend the 2010 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), but Beijing always refuses. This treaty will expire on February 21.
“The United States also wants to promote multinational diplomacy in arms control. Vietnam has many high-level diplomats with experience in this matter, so we want to consult Vietnam, “said Billingslea.
