This is already affecting the strategic balance in East Asia and forcing the United States to reconsider its defence approaches.<\/p>\n<h2>The New Scale of China's Missile Programme<\/h2>\n<p>Over the past few years, China has significantly increased the number and quality of its missile systems. By. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/graphics\/2026-china-missiles-military-ambitions\/?srnd=homepage-europe&amp;embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">information<\/a> <strong>Bloomberg<\/strong>, Beijing has relied on the development of precision medium- and long-range missiles capable of hitting targets not only in the region but also far beyond.<\/p>\n<p>American military experts point out that China already has one of the world's largest arsenals of ballistic and cruise missiles. Particular attention is paid to new hypersonic technologies that make it difficult for modern air defence systems to intercept such missiles. This puts additional pressure on China's strategic opponents, primarily the United States and its partners in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction of the United States and its allies<\/h2>\n<p>Following the release of new data on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/kitay-naroshchue-rakety-i-yadernu-zbroyu\/\">China's missile programme<\/a> Washington has grown increasingly concerned about the security of US military bases in the region. The United States has already announced its intention to strengthen its defence capabilities, in particular by upgrading its missile defence systems and increasing its presence in key locations.<\/p>\n<p>Allied countries, including Japan, South Korea and Australia, are also taking steps to strengthen their missile defences. The number of joint exercises is growing, and new strategies are being developed to respond to potential threats from China. Experts note that the competition in missile technology could lead to a new arms race in the region.<\/p>\n<h2>Changing balance of power in East Asia<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/science-tech\/kitay-giperzvukova-raketa-ykj-1000\/\">Building up missile capabilities<\/a> China is already changing the balance of power in East Asia. Regional players are being forced to revise their military doctrines and invest in modern defence equipment. Strategic stability is also being called into question, as new technologies reduce the time for decision-making in the event of a conflict.<\/p>\n<p>China, for its part, insists that its military programme is defensive in nature. However, analysts point to Beijing's growing ambitions to control Taiwan and influence neighbouring states. This increases the risk of incidents that could have serious consequences for the whole of East Asia.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>China's growing missile capabilities affect not only regional security but also the global balance of power. The growth of missile arsenals complicates diplomatic efforts to contain the escalation of conflicts. For Ukraine and other countries that closely monitor security dynamics, such trends signal the need to adapt their own defence strategies and international cooperation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041a\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0439 \u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u044e\u0454
