Reports like this one come out all the time for different countries. What made this report stand out for me were these two points:
"
► The PRC is developing new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that will
significantly improve its nuclear-capable missile forces and will require increased nuclear warhead production, partially due to the introduction of multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) capabilities. China has commenced building three solid-fueled ICBM silo fields, which will cumulatively contain hundreds of new ICBM silos.
► The number of warheads on the PRC’s land-based ICBMs capable of threatening the
United States is expected to grow to roughly 200 in the next five years.
