THE US has blocked radioactive fuel to China over fears Beijing wants to triple its nuke stockpile.
President Joe Biden's administration ordered the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to block exports to China on "national security" grounds, The Times reported.
The export of radioactive materials to China's state-owned nuclear company the China General Nuclear Power Group is now banned under the order.
It comes after Chinese state media called for a tripling of the nation's nuclear arsenal to fend off the "warmongering" US.
The Global Times - the newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, which has a circulation of 1.5million - published a fiery editorial last year in which it accused Washington of trying to stoke conflict with China.
Chinese military officials were urged to increase the state's nuclear stockpile to 1,000 warheads, more than triple its current estimated size of around 300.

China is begging for a mushroom cloud.
Too late, China already has far more than they need to manufacture 1000 thermonuclear warheads.
We should have given them that mushroom cloud in the 1950’s.
How much is Joe asking from the Chi-coms to end the block?
The way the Biden team is going the Chinese won’t have to need a nuke stockpile after the crumble the front door is open.
