Top officials from the U.S. Strategic Command and Space Command have expressed concerns to Congress about the rapid advancements in China's space technology and nuclear capabilities, emphasizing the increasing dangers of nuclear war due to strategic cooperation between China and other U.S. adversaries, including Russia, North Korea, and Iran. The commander of the U.S. Strategic Command highlighted China's unrelenting pace in developing its nuclear weapons delivery systems, describing the advancements as proceeding with incredible speed. Military analysts warn of the potential dangers these developments pose to the U.S. armed forces and nuclear arsenal, noting China's sharp increases in land-based missiles, missile-firing submarines, and a new bomber capable of launching a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile. Additionally, China's naval expansion efforts include plans to significantly enhance its aircraft carrier capabilities, alongside strengthening defense relationships and conducting regular maritime exercises in the Indian Ocean region. Chinese and Russian nuclear bombers have also conducted joint patrols, indicating the two authoritarian allies are prepared to combine their nuclear power.
