China is believed to be rolling out a powerful new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile capable of delivering a powerload at 20 times the speed of sound. <\/p>\n

The multi-stage missile being worked on by Beijing will reportedly fly out of Earth\u2019s atmosphere before turning back to hit a target at a supersonic speed.<\/p>\n

Such systems can be used to deliver a devastating nuclear payload through the Chinese ICBMs under development are designed to carry a conventional explosive warhead.<\/p>\n

China already holds over 200 nuclear-capable ICBMs which is the world’s third-largest arsenal behind the US and Russia.<\/p>\n

A US Defence Department report acknowledged that the Chinese conventional ICBMS could be a serious threat and prove hard to intercept.<\/p>\n

The report stated: “If developed and fielded, such capabilities would allow the PRC to threaten conventional strikes against targets in the continental United States, Hawaii and Alaska,\u201d the Pentagon warned in its recent report.<\/p>\n

Writing in the Telegraph, American military correspondent David Axe argued the new Chinese ICBM system will force the US into an impossible choice.<\/p>\n

He writes: “If the Americans can\u2019t tell a nuclear ICBM from a non-nuclear one and also can\u2019t be sure they could shoot down an incoming ICBM, then they have to treat every ICBM launch as a potential nuclear strike and respond accordingly \u2013 with ICBMs of their own. The alternative could be one-sided atomic annihilation.”<\/p>\n
