Which country assisted china to develop nuclear weapons?

Originally the USSR was assisting them with reactors and was promising to supply nuclear weapons if needed, so China would not have to develop their own. However the USSR withdrew from this agreement in 1959. This caused China to begin their own nuclear weapons project, culminating in their first test in 1964. So nobody assisted China to develop nuclear weapons. They did it on their own.
