China accelerates nuclear weapons expansion, seeks 1,000 warheads or more, Pentagon says
China is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, with likely intentions of possessing at least 1,000 warheads by 2030, according to a new Pentagon report prepared for Congress.
The Defense Department’s annual China military power report states that the “accelerating pace” of Beijing’s nuclear expansion may enable the communist nation to have “up to 700 deliverable nuclear warheads by 2027,” with aspirations for at least 1,000 by 2030. The finding exceeds the Defense Department’s projections in the same report a year ago, when the Pentagon said that China’s stockpile was “in the low-200s” and likely to “at least double in size.”
“They appear to have decided to go in kind of a different direction in terms of expanding their nuclear force in terms of size,” said a senior U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to preview the report under terms set by the Pentagon. “Whereas before I would have said that they were gradually increasing the size … now they seem to be trying to take that up to a different level.”
