China says US report on nuclear arsenal 'full of prejudice'

China has hit out at US over a report on China's expansion of its nuclear arsenal.

Beijing hit back Thursday against a US report on China's expansion of its nuclear arsenal, calling it "full of prejudice", and accused Washington of overhyping the threat.

The Chinese foreign ministry's comments came after the Pentagon said that China was growing its nuclear weapons much more quickly than anticipated, narrowing the gap with the United States.
