Looks like China's hypersonic vehicle test has prompted calls for Sino-US Strategic Dialogue.

Example:

"The big takeaway, said M. Taylor Fravel, director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is U.S.-China dialogue about strategic stability “is incredibly urgent.” Developments are accelerating rapidly, he said, and “there just isn’t much communication about them between the U.S. and China.”"

Questions:
What issues would be on the agenda?
Some kind of strategic parity?
Would the US accept China having similar number of nuclear warheads?
If not, what are China would be incentive for strategic dialogue?

What difference does it make?
After dropping half a dozen nukes on any country, there won't be much left....
