China's newly released arms control white paper has demonstrated the country's firm resolve and sense of responsibility to strengthen arms control, maintain strategic stability, and reduce the harm caused by war, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense said on Thursday.

The white paper, titled "China's Arms Control, Disarmament, and Nonproliferation in the New Era," was released by China's State Council Information Office earlier in the day.

"China has constructively participated in global security governance, striving to advance the process of international arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation, and playing an important role in promoting world peace and stability," said Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, the spokesman, at a press conference in Beijing in interpreting the white paper.

The white paper is the first of its kind released since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, Jiang said, adding that it represents a concrete measure taken by China to implement the Global Security Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative put forward by President Xi Jinping respectively in 2022 and 2025.

It makes a manifesto of the times by China to declare its firm commitment to safeguarding world peace and security, maintaining the post-war international order, and safeguarding the multilateral arms control process, Jiang said.

"The new arms control white paper gives a systematic overview of a series of significant new thoughts, new concepts and new viewpoints on global security governance and international arms control put forward by President Xi Jinping. It highlights China's position and propositions on arms control in traditional fields and security governance in emerging fields. The document comprehensively outlines China's strategic assessments of the current international security and arms control situation, the country's arms control policies in the new era, and its proactive contributions to advancing international arms control, disarmament, and nonproliferation efforts. It demonstrates China's firm resolve and sense of responsibility to strengthen arms control, maintain strategic stability, and reduce the harm caused by war," he said.

"No matter how the international landscape may shift, China will work with all other peace-loving countries to improve global security governance, uphold international fairness and justice, advance the multilateral arms control process, safeguard global strategic stability, inject greater certainty and positive energy into a world fraught with turbulence and change, and jointly build a community with a shared future for humanity," he said.
