NATO is stepping up its criticism of Russia and China over their nuclear weapons policies, urging both countries to work with the US to improve stability and transparency.
The North Atlantic Council released [music] a statement Monday backing Washington's position on nuclear arms.
It also criticized Moscow's rhetoric and Beijing's rapid nuclear build-up.
In the statement, NATO said, "Quote, Russia has violated crucial arms control commitments and employed irresponsibly threatening nuclear rhetoric.
China continues to rapidly expand and diversify its nuclear arsenal without transparency."
The alliance has also pointed out that both countries are strengthening ties with nations that pursue nuclear weapons programs.
But the exact size of each country's arsenal remains classified.
Estimates from the Federation of American Scientists put Russia at about 4,400 nuclear warheads, the United States at roughly 3,700, and China at around 620.
The Pentagon's latest annual report on China's military power says Beijing is undergoing the fastest expansion of its nuclear arsenal in its history.
It adds that growth rates are exceeding earlier US estimates, and that transparency remains extremely limited.
US officials project that China could field more than 1,000 deployable nuclear warheads by 2030, and potentially reach around 1,500 by 2035.
At the same time, US Strategic Command has repeatedly warned in public hearings that China's nuclear build-up is changing the global strategic balance.
It says this places the United States in an era where it must deter two nuclear peer competitors simultaneously.
This comes ahead of next week's United Nations review conference on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Rising global tensions and the future of arms control are expected to take center stage.
The question is whether this unified NATO stance will push Beijing and Moscow closer to the negotiating table with the US.
