This article is about China's new efforts to "modernize" their nuclear arsenal. It cites from the PLA, which is the People's Liberation Army official newspaper. The PLA recently published a report in which Chinese researchers wrote about how because the tensions between the USA and Russia are increasing, and their respective nuclear arsenals are increasing - China must do the same.
China has had nuclear arms capabilities since 1964, but they also signed the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons along with the Soviet Union and the United States. I find it disturbing that all three of these nations signed that treaty, make statements about the need for de-nuclearization, and yet currently are increasing their nuclear programs.
