China is expanding its nuclear force and is on pace to nearly quadruple the number of warheads it has by 2035, rapidly closing its gap with the United States, the Pentagon said in a report released Tuesday.

The report builds on the military’s warning last year that China is expanding its nuclear force much faster than U.S. officials had predicted, highlighting a broad and accelerating buildup of military muscle designed to enable Beijing to match or surpass U.S. global power by mid-century.

The report looks at China's activities in 2021 and therefore does not assess what impact Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have had on China’s militarization priorities or strategy, or to what extent the invasion has weakened or strengthened China’s relationship with Russia, said a senior defense official who briefed reporters in advance of the report’s release on the condition they not be named.

“If Russia is able to gain its objectives by means of nuclear threats, China will derive lessons from that and could be potentially making these kinds of threats against Taiwan or other neighboring countries in connection with China’s territorial ambitions,” Erath said. During their nearly three-hour session, Biden objected directly to China’s “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” toward Taiwan, but also said the U.S. is not looking for conflict with the communist power.

Beijing has vowed to bring the self-governing island of Taiwan under its control, by force if necessary. Xi has given his military until 2027 to develop the military capability to retake the self-ruled island democracy that the Communist Party claims as its own territory.

US to send billions of dollars to Ukraine

Somebody should have warned the Pentagon that the expansion of NATO, and other US actions not under the NATO banner, would provoke this very thing.

2035 I should be 88 but I doubt I will make it that far which is fine with. Anyway, what a waste of resources for real no purpose.

All the more reason to help Ukraine, so we only have to worry about China, not both. Boycott buying anything from China, dont make the CCP stronger.

because destroying the world x100 over is not enough- need to get every microbe and every bacteria killed off as well lest they somehow evolve into the bad guys! this is utter lunacy!
