Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft: The United States has legitimate nuclear concerns with China

Vice President David Santoro addresses US concerns about the evolution of China’s nuclear capabilities and examines prospects for escalation in a recent Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft publication. Santoro argues, “Yes, China has a smaller arsenal than the United States and Russia, but it is bigger than any of the other nuclear-armed states, it is growing, and Beijing refuses to articulate a level at which it would have ‘enough’ weapons.”
