Many Chinese media reports are amping up their criticism of Washington, now that the Trump administration says it intends to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty that was signed during the Cold War.
The U.S. government, which is currently holding discussions with the Kremlin about terminating the INF treaty, says that aside from the fact that Russia has been a violator, the agreement did nothing to check the growing nuclear capabilities of the Chinese communist regime. China, which wasn’t party to the INF, deploys large numbers of intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM).
