The U.S. should stop undermining global strategic stability and take special responsibility for nuclear disarmament, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing Wednesday, commenting on a Pentagon report.

The U.S. should seriously reconsider its own nuclear policy, abandon its Cold War mentality and hegemonic logic, and stop undermining global strategic stability, the diplomat said.

He also noted that the U.S. should also take a special priority responsibility for nuclear disarmament, substantially reduce its nuclear arsenal and create conditions for the final realization of full and complete nuclear disarmament.

Earlier, the Pentagon published a report on the condition of China's military power stating that China may accelerate the modernization of its nuclear forces in the next decade and produce about 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035.
