A Chinese official has responded to the Pentagon's latest report on China's military power in comments shared with Newsweek, saying it is the United States, not China, that is bringing the world closer to nuclear war.
The Department of Defense released on Wednesday its annual "Report on Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China," covering a wide range of assessments regarding China and its People's Liberation Army, the world's largest armed forces and the top military competitor of the U.S.
Among the more notable findings was the observation that China was "accelerating the large-scale expansion of its nuclear forces," which it was seeking to "modernize" and "diversify." The report noted that the current number of Chinese warheads is believed to be "in the low-200s," but stated that this number was expected to grow.

How do you say ‘Projecting, again?” in Cantonese?
We know what a Cold War looks like and we need to let China know that they are headed that way by heading that way until they back off. It’s a waste of everyone’s time and money, but the alternative is to lose our constitutional way of life - if that is not a foregone fiction already.
Lol. Everything commies say are lies. Everything. This is just as true of DemoRAT commies as the Chicomm variety.

Mandarin is the majority language in China - ‘Projecting, again? = 再次投影？
Oh, so it’s Mandarin. Thank you.
I don’t like it. I don’t really know why. Is it because it’s all relatively new?
When the USSR/Russia used to bluster and huff, it just seemed to be a standard part of tension between the big dogs. Lots of barking and posturing, but you knew the real scrapping was unlikely.
I’m not convinced these guys really have escalation avoidance built into their S.O.P
Newsweak and MSN, Two reliable news sources. 😂
Deflect and project much, China? *shakeshead*
Some people want to avoid a Cold War with China at all costs.
However, the alternative to a Cold War is a Hot War when it comes to China.
Chicom bump for later.....
When you have nothing to peddle but fear, then fear it is.

Thanks for the warning China sounds like we’d better get ready.
The Chinese have been dropping nuclear subs non stop for the past decade, do you believe that they left missiles out?
They did not!
Sounds like a threat that would warrant the US to strike China first
China has a robust nuclear force. Today it is not enough to destroy the USA as a functioning society. Our nuclear forces can totally destroy China or any nation as can Russia.
China is expanding its nuclear forces rapidly to achieve the ability to destroy us. When this is achieved nuclear war is not an option for the USA or China.
China does not wish nuclear war. It will expand via conventional military forces to take Taiwan and establish dominance in Southeast Asia.
Odd is it not that Vietnam is a de facto ally of the USA today? They fear China.
