China welcomes US, Russia nuclear weapons reduction
China has welcomed an announcement by Russia and the United States to reduce their nuclear weapons.
Beijing says commitments by Moscow and Washington to make deep cuts in their nuclear arsenals should be "verifiable and legally binding".
US President George W. Bush announced at a joint press conference with visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin that he would cut the US nuclear arsenal by two-thirds to between 1,700 and 2,200 weapons within the next decade.
Later, in remarks broadcast on Moscow television from Washington, Mr Putin announced a "radical" cut in Russia's long-range nuclear arsenal to about one third of its present size.
