This is very confusing. If they say they have new photo evidence... Where are the photos? It reads like satire.
The RV for various ICBMs are still being worked on to reduce weight. The warheads themselves are pretty miniaturized already. While it is possible for China to continue miniaturizing them (eg using HEU temper instead of DU temper), it may not be worthwhile from a maintenance/logistics perspective.

Sorry but China has been accuse of building solar and wind farms out in the middle of nowhere that aren't connected to the main grid. Some have accused China of doing that to fake GDP numbers. So whether true or not, it's not that strange that there's wind and solar farms out in the middle of nowhere. They accuse the same things of these ghosts cities in China many of them I believe are about where these farms are located.
Switching from no first use to first use only takes 1 minute. Make announcement and launch the missile 1 min after. Besides, in nuke war, what's the point to keep upright?
Keeping the "policy" is a way for self promoting in other developing countries. The current strategy will only cast doubt on China's enemies, no harm to anyone not going to have war with China.
Further proof that China's nuclear deterrence is woefully inadequate when former military officers are casually writing articles in military magazines about nuclear war without blowback. China needs to up its nukes in the thousands and shout from the roof tops about its numbers. You will never see anyone casually threatening nuclear war with Russia because it has adequate deterrence.

Because it's private companies developing and selling those to the US gov. With China it's all state owned, run, developed.
Nah. Don't take these figures seriously. Some military heads are incessant in talking about destruction and war but nations don't go to war at the behest of soldiers. Politicians and administration officials make the call.
I don't think it's in the interest of anyone to have a P5 nation with solid Conventional-Nuclear-Biological-Chemical-Cyber warfare technologies and mighty comprehensive National strength with a 1.4 Billion population to go rogue. China has abstained from actively supporting Anti-western countries and entities for long.
This guy is just bluffing.
