China expects the United States not to conduct nuclear tests, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, as reported by TASS.

The diplomat noted that Beijing expects Washington to honor its international obligations and faithfully implement the provisions of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. According to Guo Jiakun, China also hopes that the United States will remain committed to its pledge to suspend such tests.

On October 30, US President Donald Trump announced that he had instructed the US Department of Defense to immediately begin nuclear testing after a 33-year hiatus. However, he later expressed the opinion that resuming testing would not increase global risks in this area.

That same day, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first face-to-face talks since the American president's return to the White House in January 2025. The meeting lasted, according to Chinese television, one hour and 40 minutes. Following the talks, Trump said he would give the terrific talks a 12 out of 10, and that a one-year deal would soon be signed.
