Since regaining its lawful seat in the United Nations in 1971, China has actively participated in various international conferences and meetings on reviewing disarmament. It calls for the prevention of arms race in the outer space and calls on countries with the largest nuclear and conventional weapons in the world to take initiative in drastically reducing armament. Since disarmament bears upon peace and security of all countries, all the countries have the right to participate in the discussion and settlement of disarmament on an equal basis. Disarmament should not be monopolized by a few big powers. Disarmament is aimed to promote world peace.
