US Accuses China Of "Massively Expanding" Nuclear Arsenal

The United States has raised serious concerns about China's significant expansion of its nuclear capabilities, highlighting a major shift in the global nuclear landscape. In a statement on Monday, U.S. officials accused Beijing of not only increasing its nuclear arsenal but also of potentially conducting secret nuclear tests. This alarming development has prompted the U.S. to reiterate its demand that China participate in future arms control negotiations. The U.S. government's statements reflect growing apprehensions over China's military ambitions and the implications for international security, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. As tensions rise, the necessity for transparency and dialogue regarding nuclear weapons becomes increasingly critical, with calls for all nuclear powers to engage in meaningful arms control discussions to prevent an escalation of an arms race. This situation unfolds against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and China, raising questions about global stability and the effectiveness of existing arms control frameworks.
