Towards nuclear stewardship with China/ Hans Binnendijk & David C. Gompert

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2023Subject(s): Online resources: In: Survival Vol.65, No.1, February-March 2023, pp.7-20 (106)Summary: With the rising risk of complex crises and military escalation in the Pacific region, the United States should invite China into a process of nuclear restraint and confidence-building, which we call 'nuclear stewardship'. This process could start with a joint bilateral declaration that neither superpower would use nuclear weapons first against the other or its formal allies. This would acknowledge that neither side could gain by striking first with a nuclear device. This declaration could be the leading edge of a broader set of discussions on strategic stability and eventual implementation of confidence-building measures designed to enhance mutual understanding and trust in the US-Chinese nuclear relationship.
