The United States tries to use international cooperation in nuclear power as its geopolitical instrument, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Geng Shuang commented on Friday on the US Department of Energy’s strategy, which mentions the need for ousting Russia and China from international nuclear power markets, APA reports citing TASS.
"We’ve taken note of this report. It argues that in contrast to the United States China and Russia fail to observe non-proliferation requirements, which is absolutely not true. The United States uses a variety of pretexts for upsetting normal cooperation between other countries in nuclear power," Geng said.
"US officials have been saying in public that they will use cooperation in nuclear power as a geopolitical instrument," he added.
"China officially dismisses such politicization [of cooperation in nuclear power] and it will never agree with such accusations. Aware of its responsibility China will be developing nuclear power and also contributing to stable international cooperation in this field," Geng concluded.
Earlier the US Department of Energy published a strategy in which it proclaimed as one of its main tasks the ousting of Russia and China from the international markets of nuclear power and technologies. Also, it voiced the intention to impede cooperation by Moscow and Beijing with East European and African countries in this field.
