China's Ambassador Yan Zhang <...> began by issuing China's strong support for the CTBT. With a veiled reference to North Korea, he cited "the absence of a sense of security" as a strong motivation for non-proliferation, and then discreetly railed against the US and other countries that have withdrawn CTBT funding by demanding every member state pay "in full and in time."

In a jab at the Bush administration's pre-emptive strike policy, Zhang went on to say members should "unconditionally undertake not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states." He concluded by reaffirming the Chinese government's strong commitment to completing the "ratification procedure ... by an early date."

Meanwhile, the US observer to the CTBT conference was unavailable for comment because the person had failed to even identify him/herself to anyone.
