> China has strongly dismissed US criticism of a joint statement concerning Beijing’s notification of a ballistic missile launch. It accused Washington of using the Conference on Disarmament for what it called political manipulation and the application of double standards. The dispute centers on how the missile test was notified and how the joint statement addressed the matter.
