China opposes US withdrawal from the INF Treaty and has called on Washington and Moscow to engage in a dialogue, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Gen Shuang said.

“China opposes the actions of the United States (to exit the INF Treaty) and calls on Washington and Moscow to properly resolve their differences through constructive dialogue,” Gen Shuang said.

The diplomat warned about possible negative implications of US withdrawal from the agreement.

“The US unilateral withdrawal from the INF Treaty may trigger a series of adverse consequences. China will closely follow relevant developments,” he said.

China opposes the expansion of the number of parties to the INF treaty and has called on the two parties to observe the current treaty, reach an agreement, and fulfilling their obligations, Geng added.
