What did the Peoples Republic of China claim was the reason the US wanted a nuclear test ban treaty?

Because the nuclear test ban treaty did not cover underground testing, US President Kennedy knew the US was already ahead of all other nations in this type of testing. It therefore fit into the imperialistic plans of aggression in the world. That the Soviet Union agreed to this treaty is an indication that it has abandoned Marxism-Leninism. It also indicates that once again, NS Khrushchev has proven that he is a running dog of the US and UK imperialists.

What did non-aggression pact allow Hitler to do?

Hitler took it as a sign of weakness of the Western allies and assumed that they scared to go to war. So he kept pushing back the Versailles Treaty gaining a bigger army, navy and airforce, remilitarising the Rhineland, Anschluss, the Sudetenland and others. At every violation of Versailles France and the UK didn't try and stop him. Even after Munich when Hitler was allowed to recolonise the Sudetenland a treaty was drawn up and signed by France and the UK allowing the return to Germany of this territory. Hitler then went back on that treaty and promise and invaded Czechoslovakia.

The United States Russia China Britain France India Pakistan North Korea and Israel have the nuclear weapons. Why other countries are not allowed to have nuclear weapons?

Answer 1This is mainly due to the technology. Some countries who are in possession of technology and raw material , because of political reasons maintaining their supremacy moral policing type towards those which do not have. Also they wanted to create a sense of fear among them for themselves.Answer 2The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty sets out that only the US, UK, France, Russia, and China are allowed to have nuclear weapons, since the treaty was written at a point when all five were nuclear powers already. Most countries signed the treaty and so the requirement to not have nuclear weapons was binding on them. India, Pakistan, and Israel did not sign the treaty, so the restriction was never binding on them. North Korea has nuclear weapons illegally and has been sanctioned on that account.

Why does Iran have restrictions on its nuclear ambitions as opposed to other countries?

All of this hinges around the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This was a treaty that was made by the first five countries to have developed nuclear weapons or nuclear power technologies: US, USSR, UK, France, and China. These countries passed the NPT to prevent nuclear weapons to arise in any other country. According to the NPT, if a third-party country joined the treaty as a signatory, that country would be bound to not produce any nuclear weapons and would be subject to inspections, as determined by the nuclear powers (US, USSR, UK, France, and China), to make sure that no weapons would be produced if there was a serious doubt that production was occurring. However, there was a huge upside, namely that any signatory could have the direct assistance of one of the nuclear powers in setting up their own nuclear power facilities, meaning that these countries would not have to spend decades reinventing nuclear technology. Iran signed the treaty, while Israel, Pakistan, and India did not.Since Iran signed the treaty, they are held to the requirement that they allow inspections and the treaty also gives the US the leverage over Iran. Conversely, since Israel, Pakistan, and India did not sign, they had to invent nuclear technology from the ground up. Israel likely achieved this in the 1960s. India and Pakistan both achieved this for certain (because of nuclear tests) in the 1990s.Since the US, Russia (successor to the USSR in all treaties), UK, France, and China were the authors of the treaty, they exempted themselves from the requirement to be inspected. Besides, everyone already knew that these countries had nuclear stockpiles and would use other treaties to limit them.As for other nuclear energy countries, like Japan, those countries do have to agree to inspections of their facilities by international observers. This is quite a common and regular occurrence with very little enmity from Japan over the international inspectors. However, there has never been suspicion over Japan's nuclear program given the country's severe limitations on having a military. This is why the inspections are rather lax and not much diplomatic effort has been spent on forcing compliance.
