When you started the post with the word “Sorry,..” it’s a way of rejecting outright, a call of ridiculous, and coming from you it feels like a call to end the discussion. That was my impression anyway, and I felt compelled to interject.
China ICBM/SLBM, nuclear arms thread

That's funny. Real funny.
You know what? I'll just right stop there (if not before) if I were you.
Aye, cause you sometimes say things like, “I just told you..” if someone disagrees with what you said.
If something like this could happen, it would be really cool.
We have zero indication though of something like this happening. Not only that, but what we do know about the world now in 2025, points to the exact opposite.
I really have trouble understanding how you could find it likely. By 2030 too! But, I think we are getting off-topic here so I won't belabor the point further.
The notion of China enterring an arm control treaty negotiation is a WISH by the US, there is no tinnest indication of China even picked up this talk. Any discussion, analysis and prediction based on this assumption is a wishful thinking and does not worth pages of posts. If China seeing 1000 nukes being a waste of money, China will not make that many in the first place, China don't need anyone to tell her to stop. If China sees the necessity of 2000 nukes, China will make it especially if her enemy asked her to not to do so. For the US, if it can afford to keep up the race, go ahead to make 10000 like Trumps 200% tariff, wiping off the earth for 100 times is no worse than 10 times as far as everybody concerns. If the US can not afford the game, then shut up, stop whining like a baby.
There maybe a limit though, what's the point of having 5k when 2k is more than enough to achieve your goals? That leaves funds for other areas of the military.
Is there any indication that the leadership has an upper threshold for warheads?

The cold war arm race produced nukes that either USSR or USA could wipe the world many times alone. Apparently it was more of a size contest than necessity. But neither side was willing to be seen as "defeated" by voluntarily stoping/reducing without concent from the other, therefor the treaty. It was a childish idiocy followed by a face-saving coverup dressed as peace-loving "achivement", nothing more.
