China is expected to double its nuclear arsenal to 1,000 warheads over the next five years, according to a new Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report.
"China is undergoing the most rapid expansion and ambitious modernization of its nuclear forces in history," the report said, while noting China’s capabilities are still far behind that of the U.S. or Russia.
At the same time, China carried out another "combat control" near the island over the weekend as Beijing threatens countermeasures for the U.S.’ $2 billion arms deal with Taiwan.
That deal included, for the first time, an advanced air defense system battle-tested in Ukraine.
