A recent Pentagon report highlights China's efforts to expand its nuclear force, increase military pressure against Taiwan, and strengthen ties with Russia. The report notes that while China has made progress in some areas, corruption allegations within the Central Military Commission are hindering military growth and modernization.
China is working towards developing a more diverse and technologically sophisticated nuclear force, with an expected increase in nuclear warheads to over 1,000 by 2030. The U.S. is urging China to be transparent about its nuclear program and warns of defending allies against any threats.
