China and the US haven't ratified the CTBT ... so, even China did do that (which I highly doubt it), there is no violation
US media motto: Facts... not even once.Yes just like China hasn't signed on to MTCR but is accused of violating MTCR all the time.
But the thing is, China has never confirmed in the first place how many missiles and warheads do have. These 260-300 are old US estimations.
A casual search yield a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute dated 2019 July which estimated China to have 290 warheads, none of which are deployed.
So the 300 number is not some old estimation.
James H Anderson, Deputy Under Secretary of Defence for Policy at the US Department of Defene, said on 27 February, 2020 that China will likely at least double its nuclear warhead by 2030. Even if China triple her warheads to 900, it is still less than 15% of what the US or Russia has.
