China's nuclear arsenal is a major concern for the United States and its allies. The United States has accused China of developing a new generation of nuclear weapons, including hypersonic missiles that could evade U.S. missile defenses. China has also been accused of increasing the size and sophistication of its nuclear arsenal, and of developing new types of nuclear weapons, such as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons.

China's Chemical Arsenal

China is also believed to possess a large chemical weapons arsenal. China is not a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons. China has denied that it possesses chemical weapons, but there is evidence to suggest that it does.

In 2015, a report by the United States Department of State concluded that China "likely maintains a chemical weapons program" and that it "has the capability to produce and weaponize chemical agents." The report also stated that China "has a history of using chemical weapons" and that it "has not renounced their use."

China's Biological Arsenal

China is also believed to possess a biological weapons arsenal. China is a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, and use of biological weapons. However, there is evidence to suggest that China may not be fully complying with the convention.

In 2018, a report by the United States Department of Defense concluded that China "is developing biological weapons that could be used for offensive purposes." The report also stated that China "has the capability to produce and weaponize biological agents" and that it "has a history of using biological weapons."

China's Weapons of Mass Production

China's development and production of weapons of mass destruction is a major concern for the United States and its allies. China's weapons of mass destruction could be used to attack the United States and its allies, and they could also be used to intimidate other countries.

The United States has urged China to cease its development and production of weapons of mass destruction. The United States has also imposed sanctions on China for its alleged violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention.

China's development and production of weapons of mass destruction is a serious threat to the United States and its allies. The United States must continue to urge China to cease its development and production of these weapons, and it must continue to impose sanctions on China for its alleged violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention.
