US report: China will have 1,000 nukes
A US report reveals China is projected to have 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030, prompting India to view China as its primary adversary. This shift in strategic perception is driving India's defense priorities. The report highlights China's rapid military modernization, including capabilities to potentially seize Taiwan, and its aim to become a global leader. India is focusing on countering China's influence and enhancing its military power in response. The report also notes China's increasing pressure on Taiwan and its strategic objectives in East Asia. India and China have had border disputes, but reached a disengagement agreement last year.
