China Prepares for Large-Scale War, Pentagon Reports

China is preparing for war and plans to increase its nuclear arsenal to over 1,000 warheads by 2030. This is stated in the latest report from the U.S. Department of Defense, as presented by Clash Report.

According to Pentagon estimates, the People's Republic of China currently has approximately 600 nuclear warheads. The report emphasizes that Beijing is focused not only on the quantitative increase of nuclear stockpiles but also on modernizing their delivery systems. This includes the development of ballistic missiles, underground missile silos, as well as control and reconnaissance systems.

The American defense agency assesses that these measures aim to expand China's military capabilities and strengthen its strategic positions on an international level. The report notes that Washington views this process as Beijing's readiness to act in the event of potential large-scale conflicts.

At the same time, the document does not specify when or under what conditions China might use its nuclear capability, emphasizing that the presented data is based on analytical assessments.
