China is building up its nuclear arsenal: Pentagon reveals Beijing's plans for 2030.

According to ТСН: China is actively increasing its military capabilities. By 2024, the country will have over 600 nuclear warheads that are already in operation.

This information is contained in a Pentagon report.

“Despite the decline in the pace of nuclear weapon production in China, by 2030 Beijing plans to have over 1000 nuclear warheads,” the department notes.

China's Military Capabilities

The Pentagon report also states that China has:

• a large arsenal of long-range nuclear strike capabilities

• long-range maritime strike capabilities

• cyber and space capabilities that could “directly threaten the security of the USA”

The document emphasizes that China and Russia are deepening their strategic partnership, with Beijing actively studying Russia's experience in the war against Ukraine.

The Pentagon asserts that China aims to be capable of fighting and winning in a conflict over Taiwan by the end of 2027. It is worth noting that China views future conflicts not as separate battles but as competitions of national systems.

It was previously reported that China might decide to invade Taiwan in November 2026. This is reported by the German publication BILD, citing its sources in Western intelligence.

According to sources, the invasion could begin if the midterm elections in the USA in November next year lead to a political crisis and internal disturbances in America.

In Beijing, a potential political crisis in the USA, caused by one party's disagreement with the election results, is viewed as an opportunity to start a war while Americans are preoccupied with their domestic affairs.

This information underscores the growing military tension in the region, which could impact global security. Studies of China and Russia’s military capabilities indicate their desire to strengthen relations, raising alarm among Western countries that are monitoring developments in the Asia-Pacific region.
