中国周五否认了有关中美双方曾讨论互访核设施的报道，据称双方还计划在未来几个月举行进一步会谈。
China on Friday denied a report that Beijing and Washington had discussed reciprocal visits to nuclear facilities, with further talks reportedly planned in the coming months.
据官方发布的会议记录，中国外交部发言人毛宁在北京举行的例行记者会上表示：“相关报道不属实。”
"The relevant report is not true," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular news conference in Beijing, according to an official transcript of the briefing.
此前，美国有线电视新闻网援引知情人士消息称，中美两国确实讨论过互访核设施的可能性。
The denial came after CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that China and the US had discussed possible reciprocal visits to nuclear sites.
另据美国有线电视新闻网早前报道，双方初步讨论的内容包括美国能源部下属实验室与中国相关研究中心的互访事宜，以及访问核试验场的可能性。
According to an earlier CNN report, preliminary discussions covered possible visits to US Department of Energy laboratories and corresponding Chinese research centers, alongside potential access to nuclear test sites.
斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所6月份发布的报告显示，截至2026年1月，中国拥有的核弹头数量约为620枚，而美国拥有的核弹头数量超过5000枚，其中还包括已退役的弹头。
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in its June report, estimated that China possessed 620 nuclear warheads as of January 2026, compared with more than 5,000 held by the US, including retired warheads.
该研究所称，全球9个拥有核武器的国家合计拥有约12187枚核弹头，其中印度拥有190枚，巴基斯坦拥有170枚，以色列拥有90枚，朝鲜拥有60枚。俄罗斯与美国的核弹头数量合计占全球总量的近86%。
According to SIPRI, the world's nine nuclear-armed nations possessed an estimated 12,187 warheads, including 190 held by India, 170 by Pakistan, 90 by Israel and 60 by North Korea. Russia and the US together accounted for nearly 86% of the global inventory.
报告还指出，中国核武库的扩张速度超过其他任何国家，与此同时，美国与俄罗斯也都在持续推进各自的核现代化计划。上述动态发生在《新削减战略武器条约》于今年2月份到期之后。
SIPRI said China was expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than any other country, while Washington and Moscow continued extensive nuclear modernization programs. The developments follow the expiration of the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty between Washington and Moscow in February.
