US Strategic Forces Commander Anthony Cotton told the US Congress that Chinese President Xi Jinping has directed his army to be ready to capture Taiwan by 2027. China is constantly increasing its reserves and capacity of its nuclear weapons to fulfill this misery. These weapons are going to be fired by land, air and sea, causing a tremendous increase in China’s strategic strength.

Beijing has been repeatedly claiming that its no first use policy is maintained. It states that China will not use nuclear weapons first under any circumstances. Nuclear weapons will not be taunted against any non-atomic country. China’s Defense Ministry recently made a statement that the nuclear war can neither be won nor teased.

China’s claim of Pentagon is false
The US Ministry of Defense Pentagon, in its annual report, described China’s public stance as false. According to the report, China involves the first use of nuclear weapons in response to traditional attacks in its strategy. If China faced military defeat in Taiwan and threatens the existence of its rule, it can first attack a nuclear attack.

According to Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, China currently owns about 600 nuclear weapons. About 350 new missiles are building Silo and mobile launcher bases. This expansion is faster than any other nuclear power -rich country.
