China Increasing Military, Nuclear Arsenal: Indo-Pacific Commander

U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Admiral John Aquilino spoke in Indonesia, warning about China’s growing military and nuclear arsenal. He spoke after China opposed the AUKUS deal between the United States, the UK, and Australia, which arms Australia with nuclear-powered submarines. Beijing says the defense pact poses risks of nuclear proliferation. For analysis on this, NTD spoke to Grant Newsham, a retired U.S. Marine colonel and senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy.
