Sipri: China’s nuclear arsenal is growing
Several countries expanded their nuclear arsenals last year and others continued to modernize existing nuclear weapons, according to a study by the international peace research institute Sipri.
According to the study, there are 9,576 nuclear weapons in “military stockpiles for potential use”, which is 86 more than a year earlier.
Most of the increase has occurred in China, which increased its inventory from 350 to 410 warheads, according to the study.
