TOKYO -- China is beefing up its nuclear arsenal faster than any other country, a new report published Monday shows, highlighting the risks of a new nuclear arms race led by big powers.
China currently possesses at least 600 nuclear warheads, which is an increase of about 100 a year since 2023, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates, while the number of warheads owned by other nuclear states remained relatively stable.
