Thanks for the nice "China Defense Today link." That site 'twas news to me. Dale Brown had a silly book about the Spratleys years back. Events have superseded it, but it gives one the lay of the land.

Question: what's the best guess on the number of DF-31s in the PRC's arsenal? After all, road-mobile solid-fuel MIRV-capable launchers are the wet dream of any aspiring great power. The Cox Report seemed to dance a bit on this issue. But, re: secure second strike capabilities, it seems a rather key issue.

Oops,I forgot to add that you should take a bucket of salt with you while visiting Sinodefence-they do exxagerate stuff a weebit.

About the number of weapons,no one is sure.Western sources will underestimate any threat,Chinese ones will overestimate it!!
