It is fielding a growing number of more advanced nuclear-capable delivery systems and may be considering changes to how it postures those systems. This shift in China’s nuclear forces has come against the backdrop of a deterioration in U.S.-China relations, raising concerns about the possibility of a crisis or conflict that could escalate to the nuclear level. This presentation draws on open source intelligence, security studies theory, and the history of China's strategic weapons programs to analyze the trajectory of China’s nuclear forces, the drivers potentially shaping that trajectory, and implications for U.S.-China relations.
