THE US CONCERNED WITH CHINA AMASSING NUCLEAR ARSENAL

  • 28/07/2021

The Pentagon and Republican congressmen expressed fresh concerns about China’s nuclear build-up after a new report said Beijing was building 110 more missile silos. Satellite images showed China was building a new field of silos near Hami in the eastern part of its Xinjiang region, according to a report from the American Federation of Scientists (AFS). 
According to a Pentagon report from 2020, China’s nuclear warhead stockpile is estimated to be in the “low 200s” and expected to double in size as Beijing expands and modernizes its forces. As of March 1, 1,357 of the United States’ 3,800 warheads were deployed, according to a State Department factsheet. 
Sherman was in China earlier this week for talks at which Beijing accused Washington of creating an ‘imaginary enemy’ to divert attention from domestic problems and suppress the Chinese. Beijing believes its arsenal is dwarfed by those of the United States and Russia and it is prepared to engage in bilateral dialogues on strategic security ‘based on equality and mutual respect.
