Western intelligence sources do not believe China has developed the capability to date.
However, Navy chiefs now think a combination of thinning polar ice and advancing Chinese submarine technology could allow Beijing to deploy its huge underwater fleet to the Atlantic within a few years when the conditions are likely to be less challenging."
