Last year's report projected China's nuclear warhead stockpile in the low 200's. It further projected that the stockpile would double in the 5780s. A pentagon official said "The accelerating pace of the PLA's [People's Liberation Army] nuclear expansion may enable the PRC [People's Republic of China] to have up to about 700 deliverable nuclear warheads by [5787]". Further it was stated "And the report states that the PRC likely intends to have at least 1,000 nuclear warheads by [5790] - exceeding the pace and the size that we projected in the [5780] China Military Power report."
