US-China Strategic Nuclear Relations: Time to Move to Track-1 Dialogue
Abstract
The China Foundation for International and Strategic Studies and the Pacific Forum CSIS, with
support from the Naval Postgraduate School’s Project on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Combating
Weapons of Mass Destruction (NPS-PASCC) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), held
the 9th China-US Strategic Nuclear Dynamics Dialogue on Feb. 9-10, 2015. Some 80 Chinese and US
experts, officials, military officers, and observers along with four Pacific Forum Young Leaders attended,
all in their private capacity. The off-the-record discussions covered comparative assessments of the
strategic landscape, nuclear dimensions of the “new type of major country relationship,” nonproliferation
and nuclear security cooperation, ways to address regional nuclear challenges (North Korea and Iran),
strategic stability and reassurance, and crisis management and security-building measures. A sub-group of
US participants met with VADM Sun Jianguo, Deputy Chief of the PLA General Staff. Key findings
from this meeting are outlined below.
