"Nuclear-weapon states should negotiate and conclude a treaty on no-first-use of nuclear weapons against each other or make a political statement in this regard," Sun said.

China and India are currently the only two nuclear powers to formally maintain a no first use policy. Russia and the United States have the world's biggest nuclear arsenals.

Hey, yanno, gonna be real with you, I'm not that familiar with the Russian policy, I assumed they didn't have a no first strike policy because they were specifically mentioned in this article and it states that only China and India have formal no first strike policies.
