China likely deployed over 100 new ICBMs, accelerating nuclear expansion amid U.S. concerns.

A draft Pentagon report reveals China has likely deployed over 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles in new silo fields near Mongolia, marking rapid nuclear modernization and expansion. The report, obtained by Reuters, indicates China’s arsenal is growing faster than any other nuclear-armed nation, with a projected stockpile exceeding 1,000 warheads by 2030. While China maintains a no-first-use policy and denies the allegations, U.S. officials express concern over its increasing strategic capabilities and limited interest in arms control. The development underscores rising military tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
