The United States should put an end to its "microphone diplomacy" regarding arms control issues, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday.
"China and the US have channels for dialogue on arms control and nuclear non-proliferation, Washington should stop "microphone diplomacy,'" Lin told reporters.
Countries with the largest nuclear arsenals must reduce them to promote the international arms control process, the diplomat added.
Last week, Principal Deputy Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NSA) Frank Rose said that US needs to keep channels of communication with Russia on arms control and risk reduction and is trying to do that.
