Communist China’s Alarming Expansion of Nuclear Arsenal Puts World Security at Greater Risk

The commander of the US Strategic Command warned US lawmakers on 6 April that Communist China is currently engaged in an “alarming expansion” of its strategic nuclear arsenal, according to media report. The report was published on the website of the US House of Representatives’ Defence Appropriations Subcommittee. ants to double the number of nuclear warheads it currently has to 700 by 2027 and 1,000 by 2030, which is more than double the normal estimate.

Communist China has also invested in expanding its land, sea and air warhead delivery capabilities and building the infrastructure to support them, with increased funding for the establishment of nuclear missile sites in China’s sparsely populated western regions, each of which has approximately 120 missile silos.

Communist China also has Earth satellites and large ground-based radars to monitor missiles and stealth aircraft. In July 2021 Communist China tested for the first time a new intercontinental missile equipped with the DF-ZF (Dongfeng series of missiles), which can deliver precision strikes anywhere in the world and can also be used to deliver nuclear weapons. It was the longest range and longest flight time test of any land-based strike system to date.

With Communist China’s massive investment in its nuclear weapons, it could unite with evil nations such as Russia to escalate regional conflicts and seriously threaten the security of the United States and the entire world.
