Media: U.S. intelligence agencies believe China is suspected of developing a new generation of nuclear weapons
CNN, citing information from sources familiar with U.S. intelligence assessments, reported that U.S. intelligence agencies believe China is suspected of developing a new generation of nuclear weapons.
The report said: "U.S. intelligence agencies believe that China is suspected of developing a new generation of nuclear weapons."
U.S. intelligence agencies stated that the tests conducted by China in June 2020 aimed to bring its nuclear capabilities to the world's most advanced level.
The report pointed out that this includes developing a missile capable of carrying multiple small nuclear warheads.
In addition, the report said that China is developing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons that it previously did not possess.
The Chinese embassy in the United States told CNN that the U.S. statement aims to distort and defame China's nuclear policy. They called this claim political manipulation and stated that China firmly opposes such rhetoric. The Chinese embassy added that the claim about China conducting nuclear tests is baseless and accused the United States of fabricating excuses to resume its own nuclear testing.
U.S. officials told CNN that the Trump administration is committed to including China in nuclear weapons agreements.
