Precise information on the extent of China’s nuclear arsenal is difficult to obtain, due to a lack of open source information and often contradictory or exaggerated claims.
Over the last two decades China has been actively expanding its nuclear capabilities in order to achieve a more robust and survivable nuclear force; at the same time as developing a credible second-strike capability.
The extent of China’s nuclear expansion has raised questions over the compatibility of its modernisation plans with its posture of self-defence and no first use.
This short paper is intended as an introduction to China’s nuclear weapons policies and programmes. It is part of a series of country profiles which are available on the House of Commons Library website.
