If you want a good analogy of how stupid this comment is, here’s one. China urging the U.S. and Russia to reduce their nuclear stockpiles is sort of like someone telling you to give up your guns as they load theirs and fish around in their bag for another one to point at you. China is proliferating at breakneck speeds and best estimates have them doubling the size of their strategic deterrent by 2030.
