The current estimate of the number of Chinese warheads is 230. Might that estimate be a little low and this development less defensive than is assumed?
Not undercutting the importance of staying on top of all this, but if China were to ‘nuke’ us, they would be destroying a huge chunk of their world ‘market’, not to mention writing off all US debts, public and private, that they hold. Plus, why should they do that, when our government provides them with tons of other ways to screw us.
Yeah, I have a hunch they have quite a few more than that. The Chinese have been making massive defensive preparations and doing a good job of getting inside our government and defense contractor databases, from what I’ve read online.
