The agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to limit the number of nuclear weapons was known as the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT). The first of these agreements, SALT I, was signed in 1972 and aimed to curb the arms race by establishing limits on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). SALT II, which was signed in 1979 but never ratified by the U.S. Senate, sought to further reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons. These agreements were significant steps in the efforts to control nuclear proliferation during the Cold War.
You likely mean to limitation and disarmament of nuclear weapons. This would be the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

This is an example of an arms control agreement, specifically the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The treaty aims to prevent the testing of nuclear weapons and the spread of nuclear weapons technology, contributing to global nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
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.
Those that are nuclear, such as the nuclear bombs.
