China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

splitting the front: in my opinion China should declare that his intermediate and short range force are exclusively conventional, the nukes are only for continental USA. They will split japan and korea from usa nuclear umbrella with this move

China's nukes are for self-defense against any nation that can potentially threaten her with nukes, including those hosting foreign nuke weapons. This should be made clear in particular to Japan, Korea and Australia.

Thats correct, on the other hand, i highly doubt the us will ever conventionally bomb the Chinese mainland once PLARF reached 1000 warheads or more
The exact same reason the us is deterred from bombing russia conventionally despite being surrounded by us bases the same way China is

I believe PLARF has over 1,000 warheads already .. thats just a common sense.
* China has a strong reason to have that number (tension with the US, blackmail, etc)
* China has no issues at all in technology and money
* Building a warhead is not like build an SSBN that require billions $ of money, my guess is less than $10M each

If you were in control of China, continuously attacked (media, etc) by the US and allies (i.e even Australia), would you be satisfied and happy with just 300 nukes ?

It doesn't matter what declarations are made. China already declared NFU for Japan and South Korea. If they trust NFU this promise is meaningless, if they don't trust NFU they won't trust this.

It debunks a lot of false assumptions by the Pentagon report that China will "only" have 1000 nuclear warheads

Judging by the first sentence of the article, you already know the extreme bias present. Obviously a neocon wanting the US to vastly expand its nuclear deterrence.

but the us is on the verge of bankruptcy with this military budget

O'rly?

Two of the most untrustworthy sources of information on planet Earth are Communist China and the politicized Biden intelligence community.

We're off to a great start here.

Well you know how these things work. If you don't write some statements to showcase your allegiance, you will never have a platform to share your views.

I still think that there is some good content there. I would be interested to hear from people here what they think about it (please ignore any propaganda garbage inside the analysis)

Someone who quotes Karber's "estimates" unironically isn't someone worth listening to. This goes in the trash can.

This person is just a complete idiot, the hits keep coming:

The jig is up for the pro-China lobby, anti-nuclear activists, and arms control zealots, if Washington accepts the reality that China will have 4,000 nuclear weapons by 2030.

Honestly, there should be some kind of reprimand system in this forum for posting trash like this. You've been here long enough to know better, voyager.
