The first treaty to call for the destruction of nuclear forces was the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which opened for signature in 1968 and entered into force in 1970. While primarily aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting peaceful uses of nuclear energy, Article VI of the treaty obligates signatory states to pursue negotiations in good faith toward nuclear disarmament and the eventual elimination of their nuclear arsenals.

What is the idea of mutually assured destruction?

Mutually Assured Destruction is the concept that if someone attacks another they would respond by totally destroying the aggressor, but in the process of doing the destruction the original aggressor would be forced to totally destroy their original victim. Its acronym of MAD is very appropriate as it is mad to be the first aggressor as it would result in their own destruction. It is appropriate with respect to nuclear weapons as superpowers have enough of such weapons to totally destroy the others, and so none would start a nuclear war (to destroy someone) because the other side could/would respond in an equally destructive manner (destroying them).

The first Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT I), signed in 1972, resulted in a freeze on the number of strategic ballistic missile launchers for both the United States and the Soviet Union. It established limitations on nuclear arsenals, particularly focusing on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).

How did the Peoples Republic of China react to the US and Soviet Union nuclear test ban treaty in 1963?

The People's Republic of China reacted negatively to the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the US and the Soviet Union, viewing it as a means for the two superpowers to consolidate their nuclear dominance while marginalizing China. Chinese leaders believed the treaty undermined their own security interests and aspirations for nuclear development.
