China is secretly forming a new generation nuclear arsenal.
Modern.az reports that information obtained by US intelligence indicates that Beijing is making radical changes to its nuclear strategy. According to CNN, China aims to create the world's most high-tech nuclear weapons and is trying to surpass the United States and Russia in this field.
The information states that China is working on small-sized nuclear warheads. This technology allows for the placement of several warheads simultaneously on a single missile. In parallel, Beijing has also begun developing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons for the first time.
According to analysts, such weapons could be used in local conflicts. Possible tension scenarios around Taiwan, in particular, are in focus in this context. US intelligence believes that these steps elevate China's nuclear potential to a new level, not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality and flexibility.
