The U.S. is modernizing its entire nuclear triad and production facilities to maintain national security and deterrence against adversaries.
The parade through Tiananmen Square commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II featured China's DF-61, which is believed to be its newest land-based intercontinental ballistic missile, and the DF-31BJ, an upgraded version of older ICBM models. For now, little is known about either system, including their operational status. Even if these systems are developmental, China has a sizable arsenal of land-based ICBMs.
