No, he was being deadly serious. I just saw that clip in the last couple of days.
Also, he was one of the “expert” studio guests in CGTN’s live broadcast of the 93 parade. In that, he had briefly talked about the PLA’s kill web (really focused on the web), and a couple of other topics — which, together with what he said about DF-61, has confirmed my belief that while not a military expert, he is receiving some form of official information from the CMC / PLA.
His strength is being a trustworthy and known quantity, who is an excellent communicator and negotiator in the English language (in comparison to all other suitable candidates).
His think tank role, media spots, and other various roles are obviously all under the auspices / aegis of the Party.
Maybe if it is not nukes, but warheads AND all the various kinds of decoys (there is more than just decoy warheads), then it might reach around the 60?
Although, we should indeed not put too much emphasis on his words.

Yes he was for a long time, and also a high-level negotiator for the Chinese government, with extensive networks across the western elites.
At this point, anyone who thinks it’s absurd or hilarious that he [clearly] operates under some form of official sanction, in addition to being a long-serving Party member in good standing, is quite frankly an idiot.
Edit: adding the snippet below, because I’m still quite shocked that people think it’s absurd that while he’s clearly not a military expert, he receives official briefs on things to say and things he can’t say.
“From 1983 to 1988, Gao was a translator for Deng Xiaoping. He was also a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1983 to 1989 at the United Nations Secretariat in New York.
After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1988, Gao was recommended by Henry Kissinger to study at Yale University, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 1993. Then he was a policy adviser for the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission from 1999 to 2000.
Gao has been an investment banker for Morgan Stanley. He is a director of the China National Association of International Studies and an executive director of Beijing Private Equity Association. Gao is the vice president of the Center for China and Globalization.
According to Foreign Policy, "Gao was once treated as a reputable interlocutor in U.S.–China relations."”
