If anyone believes that China has only a few hundred warheads, they are fools. Theirwar doctrine is to survive and win a nuclear war. We are crazy to only have 5000!
What’s more scary is that the Russians have 12,000 nukes, scattered throughout Russia AND CIS countries friendly towards it (EG Kazakhstan, Belarus, ect), with storage facilities including Yamautu Mountain and very extensive tunnel networks that were continued after the fall of the USSR. China has about 4,000.
