Details
For the first time in five years, the United States and China resumed semi-official negotiations on nuclear weapons in March.
Beijing officials assured their American colleagues that they would not resort to nuclear threats to Taiwan, according to two American delegates who attended the meeting.
Chinese officials said this after their American interlocutors expressed concern that China could use or threaten to use nuclear weapons if it is defeated in the conflict over Taiwan.
Recall
Beijing sees the democratically ruled island as its territory, but the government in Taipei rejects this claim.
