Chinese Arms Control and Nonproliferation Policy

Abstract

Chinese arms control and nonproliferation policy has been evolving since the end of the cold war. With a constantly developing situation both internationally and at home, greater importance has been placed on the role of arms control and nonproliferation in China’s security strategy and foreign policy. China has in the past adjusted its arms control and nonproliferation policy to better serve its foreign and defense policy objectives, and to adapt itself in the changed international environment.
