🚨 China’s Nuclear Arsenal Expands Rapidly — A Global Security Shift
China is accelerating its nuclear weapons program, now estimated to possess 600+ warheads with around 350 new missile silos under construction, according to defense analysts. Projections from the U.S. suggest that Beijing’s stockpile could surpass 1,000 warheads by 2030.
While China maintains its official “no first use” policy, the Pentagon has raised concerns that Beijing could potentially reconsider if a conventional conflict over Taiwan were to threaten regime survival.
This expansion spans across land, sea, and air systems, with reports indicating that 462 missiles may already have the capability to strike the U.S. mainland.
👉 The scale of this buildup marks a major shift in the global nuclear balance and heightens security concerns across the U.S. and the Indo-Pacific region.
