O artigo visa a analisar os investimentos chineses em seu arsenal nuclear nos anos que sucederam ao fim da Guerra Fria. Argumenta-se que os esforços de modernização das armas nucleares chinesas estão inseridos no âmbito de um processo de “balanceamento interno” empreendido pela China em relação aos EUA. Para desenvolver esse argumento, a primeira seção deste artigo apresenta algumas considerações sobre o fenômeno do “balanceamento interno”, esclarecendo seu embasamento conceitual-teórico. Em seguida, realiza-se uma breve revisão histórica do programa nuclear chinês durante a Guerra Fria. Finalmente, serão avaliados os esforços contemporâneos de modernização dos arsenais nucleares chineses à luz do modelo teórico que auxilia na verificação empírica do fenômeno do balanceamento interno.
