China’s nuclear weapons cross 600: The US Defense Department has made shocking revelations about the strength of China’s military in its annual report. The way China is increasing its stockpile of nuclear bombs is a big threat to India and America. The US Defense Department has said that by mid-2024 the number of Chinese nuclear bombs will exceed 600. Also, by the end of 2030, China will have more than 1000 nuclear bombs.
China is building its nuclear arsenal
China is rapidly increasing its nuclear arsenal. Earlier in last year’s report this number was 500. That means China has made 100 nuclear bombs in one year. According to the annual report of the US Defense Department, China is diversifying its nuclear arsenal. It is working on systems ranging from short-range precision strike missiles to ICBMs.
China is now focusing on using more military force
According to the Defense Department report, China is focusing on the use of its military power. Chinese President Xi Jinping aims to completely modernize the army by 2035 and make it the world’s most powerful army by 2050. However, according to media reports, their efforts are being hampered by a widespread anti-corruption campaign within the Chinese military and government.
The report also mentions increasing corruption
This year’s report also said that corruption has increased within the People’s Liberation Army and that China is trying to reduce that corruption. China is also focusing on how this corruption could affect the PRC’s ambitions.
