A recent U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report reveals Pakistan is actively modernizing its nuclear arsenal, heavily relying on China for economic and military support. China remains Pakistan's primary military supplier, providing materials and technology for weapons of mass destruction, often through intermediaries in Hong Kong, Singapore, Turkey, and the UAE. Despite internal tensions, including terrorist attacks on Chinese nationals in Pakistan, the alliance persists. Pakistan continues to view India as an existential threat, prioritizing cross-border skirmishes and nuclear modernization. The report underscores Pakistan's procurement of WMD-applicable goods from foreign suppliers, highlighting concerns over regional stability and the security of nuclear materials and command structures.
