Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies — an institute of Middlebury College — announced that he and
Decker Eveleth had used commercial satellite images to identify more than
100 new missile silos being built in China. It is a clanging alarm bell.
Following Russia’s announcement that it is building new kinds of nuclear
weapons, the United Kingdom’s announcement that it will expand its number
of nuclear weapons, growth in the Pakistani arsenal, and work by all the
other nuclear-armed states (including the United States) to upgrade their
nuclear forces, the news from China confirms what some long have suspected:
The second nuclear arms race is on.
