BEIJING — China on Monday lashed out at Washington over its withdrawal from the “Open Skies Treaty” with Russia, saying the move undermined military trust and transparency and imperiled future attempts at arms control.
The treaty, to which China is not a signatory, had allowed each country overflight rights to inspect military facilities.
That leaves only one arms-control pact still in force between the former Cold War foes, the New START treaty, which limits the number of nuclear warheads each may have. That treaty will expire in February and the Trump administration had said it wasn’t interested in extending it unless China also joined, something Beijing says it will not do.
“This move by the U.S. undermines military mutual trust and transparency among relevant countries, is not conducive to maintaining security and stability in relevant regions and will also have a negative impact on the international arms control and disarmament process," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a daily briefing Monday.

Those Chinese communists just need to eat some General Tso’s Chicken.
Treaties for thee, but not for me.
Biden would let the Chinese carpet bomb Texas.
This is probably how the conversation went as they constructed this statement:
CHICOM OFFICIAL 1: Let's protest this withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty by the US, and frame it as a crime against humanity.
CHICOM OFFICIAL 2: Here is how we should word it: "...the USA undermines military mutual trust and transparency among relevant countries, is not conducive to maintaining security and stability in relevant regions and will also have a negative impact on the international arms control and disarmament process..." (all present laugh heartily)
CHICOM OFFICIAL 3: (still laughing, with tears in eyes) Can you imagine this? The Useful Idiots in the free world will grab onto our statement like a drowning man grabs onto a life ring, and the people who are paying attention with be livid with rage at our sheer gall at being able to say this as piously as we can, it-
CHICOM OFFICIAL 1: (interrupting) But that is vital-we must say it with the utmost gravity and sincerity, we must keep a completely straight face as we say it, which will multiply the anger those in the know will feel! (all laugh riotously in complete agreement)
China got all their info from the Russians, now they will have to do it the hard way and pay HarrisBoden upfront.

I wonder how many takes it took for Martin Sheen to ‘casually’ sail by in his small vessel and give a thumbs up to his son Charlie? That was a long time ago.
BuyMe is for sale, and everyone want to get their beak wet.
“Yeah, China is really worried about arms control. /s”
Now that they’ve solved the little problem of their ICBMs coming down in the right country.
So why is this Red Menace spouting off? Oh yeah - SHUT UP Biden!

Hey China, go pound rice.
