China has significantly increased its nuclear warhead stockpile, adding 20 warheads in the past year to reach a total of 620. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) also indicated that China may have deployed more of these weapons with its active military forces. This development occurs as major global powers are reportedly moving away from their commitments to nuclear disarmament.
The expansion of China's nuclear arsenal and the broader trend of major powers disengaging from disarmament efforts raise concerns about global nuclear stability and the future of arms control.
