This Pentagon report raised the world’s concern, made a shocking disclosure about China
An American report about China has increased the concern of the whole world. It has been claimed in this report that China, which wants to become a super power, is secretly increasing its nuclear capacity (Nuclear Arsenal). The Pentagon has said in its report that China is increasing its nuclear power faster than anticipated. Releasing the report on Wednesday, the US Defense Department said that China is gathering nuclear weapons faster than what was estimated.
This is China’s plan
According to the news published in our partner website WION, China plans to overtake the US to become a super power or reach its level by the middle of the century. It has been told in the report that within six years the number of Chinese nuclear weapons could increase to 700 and by 2030 this figure could cross 1,000. However, it has not been told in the report that how many weapons China has at present.
US has so many weapons
A year ago, the US Department of Defense Headquarters, the Pentagon, said China’s nuclear arsenal was less than 200 and was projected to double by the end of this decade. Let us tell you that America currently has 3,750 nuclear weapons and it has no plans to increase it. By 2003, the total number of US nuclear weapons was about 10,000.
Nuclear Triad is developing
The report said that like the US and Russia, China is also developing a nuclear triad, which would be capable of delivering nuclear weapons from land-based missiles, air-launched missiles and submarines. Let us tell you that recently, satellite pictures have revealed that China is building missile silos at at least three places. American think tank Federation of American Scientists (FAS) has claimed on the basis of photographs provided by Planet Labs and Maxar Technologies that China is building 300 new missile silos.
