Non-proliferation

The US and China have fundamentally different ways of building trust. Over nuclear arsenals is a good example.

The ongoing Nuclear Suppliers Group meet is a chance for creative thinking over China’s Pakistan nuclear plans.

A new consortium aimed at aiding non-proliferation efforts is all well and good. But is the US making things too complex?

India shouldn’t have to accept restrictions that don’t apply to other Nuclear Suppliers Group members. It’s time to recognize India’s goodwill—and good record.

Are economics trumping non-proliferation concerns for Chinese officials dealing with Iran and North Korea? A new UN report suggests maybe.

China’s latest defence white paper shows it is sticking to its no-first-use nuclear policy. Very wise.

Despite a track record of proliferation, the US and others seem ready to make excuses for Pakistan.

Pakistan poses a serious risk to non-proliferation efforts. As its arsenal grows, so is the risk of nuclear terrorism.

Chinese policymakers are right to take a cautious approach to the country’s rapidly developing nuclear industry.

The US is keen for Asia to follow tougher EU sanctions over Iran’s nuclear programme. Expect China to drive a hard bargain.
