US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed deep concern about China's growing nuclear arsenal during a meeting with foreign ministers of Asian countries and partner nations, the State Department said on Friday (Aug 6).

Addressing a virtual meeting of the ASEAN Regional Forum , which groups more than two dozen countries, Blinken also called on China to cease"provocative" behavior in the South China Sea and"raised serious concerns about ongoing human rights abuses in Tibet, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang", the department said in a statement.

In his address, Blinken urged all ARF member states to press Myanmar's military government to end violence and support the people of the country as they work to return to democratic governance, the statement said. A 2020 Pentagon report estimated China's nuclear warhead stockpile in"the low 200s" and said it was projected to at least double in size as Beijing expands and modernises its forces.
