The United States is concerned about the topic of China's military buildup, and most of all America is afraid of the increase in China's nuclear potential. As US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kohl said at a briefing on Friday, Beijing allegedly intends to increase the number of nuclear warheads at times.

China is in the process of building up its nuclear arsenal at a very rapid pace - three or even four times

— the representative of the Pentagon said, without specifying where the US military got such information.

According to Kohl, Beijing had previously stated its readiness to discuss strategic stability issues with Washington, but now the United States "does not see China's real readiness for such work." At the same time, according to the Pentagon representative, America "would not like to slide into a conflict with China."

One of the good things we saw in the situation around Taiwan was that there were no nuclear threats from China

the military official added.

It is noteworthy that the statement of the Pentagon representative was made immediately after the director of the Department of Arms Control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Ding Tongbing, announced that it was the United States, which has a huge nuclear potential, that poses a threat to peace. At the same time, the Chinese diplomat added that Beijing has not participated and is not going to participate in the arms race, and maintains its nuclear arsenal "at the minimum level necessary to protect national security."

Against the background of the aggravation of the Taiwan crisis, which the PRC accuses the United States of unleashing, Beijing has completely stopped contacts with Washington through military departments. It is obvious that such a situation in the Pentagon is perceived very painfully, for which such unfounded accusations sound.

By the way, information about military developments, the number of any PLA weapons in China is strictly classified. It is doubtful that the Pentagon even knows how many and what kind of nuclear weapons the PRC has. Moreover, such forecasts about an increase in nuclear weapons at times sound strange. Even if this happens, it is unlikely that the Chinese authorities will inform the United States about it. Moreover, according to Ding Tongbin, it is the United States that does not want to engage in a dialogue with China on arms control.
