Republican Congressman Mike Turner, ranking member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, said China's nuclear build-up was"unprecedented" and made clear it was"deploying nuclear weapons to threaten the United States and our allies".

He said China's refusal to negotiate arms control"should be a cause for concern and condemned by all responsible nations". Another Republican, Mike Rogers, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said the Chinese build-up showed the need to rapidly modernise the US nuclear deterrent.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.

Analysts say the United States has around 3,800 warheads, and according to a State Department factsheet, 1,357 of those were deployed as of Mar 1.The report on the new silos comes as Assistant Secretary of State Wendy Sherman is due to hold arms control talks with Russia in Geneva on Wednesday.
