INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING: US-China Nuclear Transparency Overtures Initiated
The US and China are exchanging preliminary proposals for nuclear site access, while China continues to expand its infrastructure and ties nuclear dialogue to regional political conditions. If transparency measures are implemented, they will likely be limited, verifiable, and conditional on broader strategic concessions.
