China is considering tripling its stockpile of nuclear warheads to 900 by 2035, as tensions with the United States are expected to escalate further over Taiwan, sources close to the matter said Saturday.
Report informs via foreign media that the United States said last year that China is on course to increase its stockpile of nuclear warheads to 1,500 by 2035 when it aims to complete the modernization of its military.
The number of nuclear warheads held by China is likely to rise to 550 in 2027, the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the country’s armed forces, and to 900 in 2035, the sources added.
