'False narratives': China firmly rejects US unfounded accusations on secret nuclear trial in 2020

China’s response was equally unequivocal. At the Geneva conference, Shen Jian, China’s ambassador on nuclear disarmament, rejected the US accusations outright. “We firmly oppose this false narrative and reject the US’s unfounded accusations,” Shen said. He went on to argue that “the US’s series of negative actions in the field of nuclear arms control are the biggest source of risk to international security.” Later, Shen reiterated on social media, “China has always honored its commitment to the moratorium on nuclear testing.”
