REPORT: China to Build 1,000 Nukes by 2030.
The Pentagon has released its annual congressionally mandated report on China’s military and security developments.
China’s stockpile of operational nuclear warheads has also increased from more than 500 last year to more than 600 in 2024, the report said.
It will have more than 1,000 by 2030, the Pentagon said, as Beijing pushes “to modernize, diversify, and expand its nuclear forces rapidly.”
This, it said, would enable China to “target more US cities, military facilities, and leadership sites than ever before in a potential nuclear conflict.”
