SIPRI Yearbook 2022
I. Bilateral and multilateral nuclear arms control involving China, Russia and the United States
The process of nuclear arms control underwent both treaty extension and reconfigured engagement in 2021. At the start of the year, Russia and the United States agreed to an extension of the 2010 Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (New START) for another five years, during which they would observe the limits and provisions set out in the treaty.1 They also agreed to further engage through a bilateral strategic stability dialogue, rather than traditional arms control negotiations. The US government also issued statements indicating China’s willingness to participate in bilateral strategic stability talks, albeit at a different level from those with Russia. This section covers these developments and analyses the prospects for multilateral strategic stability dialogues.
