Three ranking Republican members have urged President Biden to stop China’s nuclear arms expansion, warning that failure to act could lead to “a degree of nuclear parity” between China and the United States by 2030.
In a June 8 joint letter, Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) of the House Armed Services Committee, Michael McCaul (R-Texas) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) of the House Intelligence Committee noted that China’s rapidly developing nuclear forces pose a growing threat and that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is unwilling to engage in good-faith arms-race and arms-control negotiations with the United States.
