A Discussion of China's Nuclear Transparency Options

This paper will discuss how much nuclear transparency China can afford to adopt in light of the changing international security context. The work will examine China’s attitude toward nuclear transparency; the possible influence of high-resolution satellite imagery on China’s position; what sorts of nuclear transparency China could accept under international arms control and nonproliferation treaties; and what kind of on-site inspections China could accept at its specific nuclear production facility and site under an FMCT.
