However, China is not a member of the HCOC and is therefore not bound by its provisions.    Li also noted that China has conducted only three ICBM tests to date, the fewest among the five nuclear-weapon states. In contrast, the U.S. has conducted the most ICBM tests worldwide and continues to expand its nuclear capabilities.    China has conducted missile tests in a safe, responsible and transparent manner, he said.    Li stressed that China has always followed a self-defensive nuclear strategy, maintained its nuclear capabilities at the minimum level required for national security and does not participate in any nuclear arms race.    He urged the U.S. to reflect on its own actions and take measures that genuinely contribute to global peace and stability.    (By Helen Mo, intern Liu Shuangjing)                    。
