On July 17, 2024, China announced a temporary halt to new rounds of arms control and nuclear proliferation talks with the United States due to the ongoing arms sales to Taiwan, which China considers damaging to mutual trust and interests. The U.S. State Department responded by criticizing China's approach, stating that it undermines strategic stability and increases the risk of an arms race. Despite this, the U.S. remains open to discussions on risk reduction measures with China.
