The US accuses China of conducting clandestine nuclear tests in 2020, violating test ban treaties, as stated by Under Secretary of State Thomas DiNanno. Despite this, an international monitoring body found no evidence of such tests. DiNanno calls for a new nuclear weapons control agreement after the expiration of the New START treaty with Russia, while China denies the allegations and emphasizes its commitment to the moratorium on nuclear testing. Diplomats express concern over the US accusations and President Trump’s desire for China to join a future nuclear treaty.
