China on Wednesday urged the United States to honor its commitment to suspend nuclear tests and stop seeking pretexts for resuming such tests.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to recent U.S. allegations that China has conducted nuclear explosion tests.

"The U.S. accusation is unsubstantiated and entirely groundless," Mao said, adding that China has reiterated on multiple occasions that it all along firmly supports the purposes and objectives of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and honors the moratorium on nuclear testing, a commitment made by the five nuclear-weapons states.

Mao noted relevant framing and smear by the United States against other countries to shirk its international arms control obligations will only seriously dent its own credibility.

China urges the United States to abide by the moratorium on nuclear testing, uphold the global consensus on nuclear test ban and stop finding false justification for resuming nuclear testing.
