To the Editor:Re “China’s Troubling Nuclear Buildup” (Op-Ed, July 31):I agree with James Anderson, acting under secretary of defense for policy, on the importance of arms control agreements and including other nuclear powers in arms talks. Reducing the number of nuclear weapons in the world is a worthwhile goal that enhances international security. However, the United States and Russia account for 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons. Likewise, the treaty’s limitations on nuclear weapons and its irreplaceable monitoring and verification regime are vital to arms control. At the same time, we can begin holding multilateral arms control discussions with other nuclear powers.
