Top House Republicans urge Biden to create strategy to combat China nuclear build-up
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: The top Republicans on the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence committees are urging President Biden to create a “comprehensive interagency strategy” to stop China’s nuclear build-up, while warning that lack of action on the matter could result in China reaching “a degree of nuclear parity” with the United States by 2030.
"We write to you today concerning the growing threat posed by the rapid Chinese nuclear build-up, as well as the unwillingness of the Chinese Communist Party to engage with the United States in good faith arms control negotiations," McCaul, Rogers and Nunes wrote. The members pointed to recent testimony from Admiral Charles Richard, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command, who said China has "moved a portion of its nuclear force to a Launch on Warning posture and has a nuclear weapons stockpile that is expected to at least double, if not triple, or quadruple, over the next decade."More Related News
