China will continue to ‘modernise’ nuclear arsenal thesun thesundaily China nucleararsenal US Russia weapons

China today said it will continue to ‘modernise’ its nuclear arsenal and called on the United States and Russia to reduce their stockpiles a day after global powers pledged to prevent such weapons spreading.

The five nuclear powers also committed to full future disarmament from atomic weapons, which have only been used in conflict in the US bombings of Japan at the end of World War II. There are growing global concerns about China’s military modernisation especially after its armed forces last year announced they had developed a hypersonic missile that can fly at five times the spread of sound.

Today, China defended its nuclear weapons policy and said Russia and the United States — by far the world’s largest nuclear powers — should make the first move on disarmament.
