US on China's nuclear weapons

Security experts warn that the U.S. must enhance its nuclear arsenal, as potential adversaries like China, North Korea, and Iran continue to improve their nuclear capabilities. Robert Peters, a former advisor, argues that the U.S. should abandon its disarmament policies and expand its strategic arsenal, including increasing the number of ballistic missile submarines and warheads. The People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) has significantly advanced its missile capabilities, posing a strategic threat to the U.S. and its allies. In response, the U.S. and Japan have reaffirmed their commitment to nuclear deterrence, with plans to strengthen military coordination against China. Beijing has countered by accusing the U.S. and Japan of inciting nuclear proliferation while insisting its nuclear capabilities are maintained at a minimal level. The recent U.S. military exercises, including tests of new low-cost bombs, further escalate tensions in the region, demonstrating the U.S. commitment to countering China's military advancements.
