China is developing nuclear weapons much faster than the United States and this is a "short-term problem".
This was stated by the head of the US strategic command, Admiral Charles Richard , who oversees Washington's nuclear weapons program.
"The ship is slowly sinking because Beijing is deploying its military capabilities faster than we are," added Admiral Richard, according to CNN.
Right now, during a meeting in Beijing between German Chancellor Olaf Sholz and Chinese leader Xi Jinping , Germany and China reiterated their "opposition" to the use of any nuclear weapon , starting with the Ukrainian scenario.
"Here in China - said Sholz after the meetings with the leaders of the People's Republic - everyone knows that an escalation of the war in Ukraine would have consequences for all of us. This is why - added the chancellor - it is very important for me to emphasize that everyone they clearly say that
escalation through the use of a tactical nuclear weapon is excluded. "
