The Difference of China's 'World-Scaring' Nuclear Arsenal Named 0 9

China deliberately does not disclose information about the capabilities of its nuclear arsenal, which can 'scare the whole world.' The magazine The National Interest (TNI) identified the difference between China's approach to transparency and that of Russia and the United States.

'Public information about the scale of China's warhead stockpiles is intentionally opaque, as Beijing remains silent about its nuclear potential, unlike most nuclear powers,' the publication writes.

According to rough estimates, Beijing has accumulated several hundred warheads. The author emphasized that China has become one of the few countries with a full-fledged nuclear triad. The arsenal of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) includes various intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and air-to-ground cruise missiles.

According to the author, the improvement of Beijing's nuclear forces signals the emergence of a 'tripolar nuclear world,' the stability of which depends on Russia, China, and the United States.
