China’s expanding nuclear footprint poses a major threat to South Asian security.
New Delhi: Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China’s military appears to be leveraging its nuclear capabilities as a strategic tool of intimidation. While largely concealed from global scrutiny, a significant and potentially alarming development has been unfolding within China. Recent satellite imagery has brought this issue into the spotlight.
The images reportedly indicate that China is setting up a network of nuclear-related infrastructure in close proximity to India’s state of Arunachal Pradesh. Such actions could have serious implications, not only for India’s national security but also for stability and peace across the broader Asian region.
