International security is currently changing as nuclear-armed countries modernize their weapons and NATO allies increase their spending on defense.

由於核武國家正在將其武器現代化，且北約盟國增加了國防開支，國際安全局勢目前正發生變化。

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), all nine nuclear-armed states updated or expanded their weapons in 2025. Although the total number of warheads dropped slightly because old systems were retired, SIPRI expects this trend to reverse as new weapons are deployed faster than old ones are destroyed. Furthermore, the end of the New START treaty has caused countries to move away from disarmament and focus more on strategic competition.

根據斯德哥爾摩國際和平研究學院 (SIPRI) 的數據，所有九個核武國家在 2025 年都更新或擴充了其武器。雖然由於舊系統退役，導致核彈頭總數略有下降，但 SIPRI 預計這一趨勢將會反轉，因為新武器部署的速度快於舊武器被銷毀的速度。此外，《新削減戰略武器條約》(New START) 的終止，導致各國從裁軍轉向更關注戰略競爭。

Regional data shows that China is modernizing its forces faster than any other country. By 2025, China had developed a complete 'nuclear triad' and expanded its missile silos; experts believe China could have as many long-range missiles as the U.S. or Russia by 2030. Meanwhile, North Korea continues to grow its arsenal rapidly. In Europe, France has suggested protecting other European nations with its nuclear weapons, which has led Germany to seek closer cooperation with France because it is worried about the reliability of U.S. security guarantees.

區域數據顯示，中國現代化軍備的速度快於任何其他國家。到 2025 年，中國已發展出完整的「核三位一體」並擴充了飛彈發射井；專家認為到 2030 年，中國的遠程飛彈數量可能會與美國或俄羅斯相當。與此同時，北韓繼續快速擴充其武庫。在歐洲，法國建議以其核武保護其他歐洲國家，這導致德國因擔心美國安全保障的可靠性，而尋求與法國更緊密的合作。

At the same time, NATO is moving toward higher spending. A 2025 agreement set a target for members to spend 5% of their GDP on defense by 2035. Consequently, there is a clear difference in how this is happening; Eastern European countries, such as Poland and the Baltic states, are buying equipment more aggressively than Western nations because they are closer to Russia. However, analysts emphasize that Europe still depends heavily on the U.S. for advanced intelligence and transport capabilities.

同時，北約正趨向更高的支出。一份 2025 年的協議設定了目標，要求成員國在 2035 年前將國防開支提高至 GDP 的 5%。因此，執行過程有明顯差異；波蘭及波羅的海國家等東歐國家，由於距離俄羅斯較近，採購設備的態度比西方國家更激進。然而，分析師強調，歐洲在高級情報與運輸能力方面仍高度依賴美國。

In summary, the world is moving away from reducing nuclear weapons and is instead focusing on modernization and increased military spending within NATO.

總結來說，世界正從減少核武轉向關注現代化，以及增加北約內部的軍費開支。
