A joint statement issued last month by the leaders of China and Russia reveals growing strategic cooperation between the two nations and their disinformation themes targeting the United States.
The statement calls for China and Russia "To reduce the role of nuclear weapons in national security policies" and blames the United States for undermining arms control and strategic stability since 2001.
The statement begins by saying China and Russia "Note with alarm the extremely dangerous actions of individual states" working to "Destroy or alter the existing architecture of arms control and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction." The comment was a veiled reference to the United States, regarded by both nations' militaries as their main strategic enemy.
The United States is then blamed by China and Russia for undermining arms control by jettisoning the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2001, and recently announcing withdrawal of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
On the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan, China and Russia affirmed an "Unwavering commitment" to the agreement that has been rejected by the administration.
Another hypocritical element in the joint statement is the claim that China and Russia "Strongly support" the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty that bans testing of nuclear weapons.
The joint statement signed in Moscow states that China and Russia "Believe that the ban on nuclear testing is an important step in the implementation of comprehensive and final nuclear disarmament, and is also of great importance for world stability and global security."
