China's missile stockpile has surged nearly 50% in four years, drawing high attention from the Pentagon.

Foreign media wrote today (October 1): "The U.S. Department of Defense estimates that the inventory of nuclear and conventional missiles of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force has increased by nearly 50% in four years, reaching about 3,500 missiles."

[Witty] Comment a bit: It's a play on words. How can conventional missiles be counted together with nuclear missiles? After the September 3rd military parade, the Pentagon has become more anxious and sensitive. China's display of strong military power and confidence has broken its established perception. The United States is worried that its advantages are no longer there, making it difficult for them to give orders. This anxiety stems from the substantial impact of China's military rise on America's hegemonic position.
