It has become known that the Chinese government has begun to rapidly increase the size and capabilities of its nuclear arsenal.
According to Reuters, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command informed Congress about the directive of Xi Jinping.
It states readiness to invade Taiwan by 2027, triggering a massive increase in nuclear weapons, including land, air, and sea launch vehicles.
Although China’s official doctrine retains a commitment not to use nuclear weapons first.
But the Pentagon sees this strategy as potentially flexible: a possible “first use” could be justified if the existence of the regime itself is threatened.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists analysts estimate that China has stockpiled about 600 nuclear warheads.
It is also building some 350 silos for new missile launches, as well as several mobile launch bases.
The Pentagon predicts that by 2030, the arsenal could exceed 1,000 operational warheads, ranging from precision-guided to intercontinental thermonuclear missiles.
China plans to gradually emerge as a serious nuclear power, and this changes the global balance of power.
