China's nuclear stockpile growing at 'accelerating pace,' will have 1,000 warheads by 2030: Pentagon
China is building nuclear warheads at an "accelerating pace" and will have 1,000 by the end of the decade, according to the Pentagon's new China report released Wednesday after a two-month delay.
Just a year ago in the last China report, the Pentagon had estimated China’s nuclear arsenal to be in the "low-200s" and would "at least double" over the next decade. The new report demonstrates China is expanding much more rapidly.
"The accelerating pace of the PRC’s nuclear expansion may enable the PRC to have up to 700 deliverable nuclear warheads by 2027. The PRC likely intends to have at least 1,000 warheads by 2030, exceeding the pace and size the DoD projected in 2020."

So, how do we know this?
The virus was a surprise, the collapse of the afghan government was a surprise, the number of illegals coming across the open border was a surprise so is it that we are no experts and what another country is doing 8000 miles away?
