It was a typo from my side I guess, Sorry about that.. I know about what MIRV is... But if they have 150 MISSILES ready to deploy quickly, then they still have a punch that no one should take for granted I guess?...

But then, China sees to be reluctant to the whole idea of nuclear weapon, because they have maintained their missile weapon system, but not exactly used to much money to build up a real stockpiles of weapon.. Enough to scare of everyone who want war with China.. But not to break the bank... In all China also sees to have had/have problems with the missiles, specially the fuel is a problem for the Chinese.. So they tend to have their nuclear weapons going "dry".. Mutch what the US had when your nuclear missiles had to fuel their missiles with liquied fuel instead of what they have been using for the last 30-40 year or so.. That means it wil take at least 30-50 minutes to fuel up a missile, and then it takes some times to fire them all.. And I would bet my farm on this, the US have assets in China, who would report if China was to fuel up their nuclear weapons.. Or at least the satelites would give it away.. And if they was to do that... Then they have a problem on their hand.. Low Level B2 with some bombs would do the trick I guess.. But in PRC, it wil take a long time to came to the fact that they want to use a nuclear weapon, they are not MAD in PRC. Maybe in North Korea, but not in China. They have to mutch to loose in a nuclear war with anyone. The country who for the moment have most of the weapon USA, doesn't see it that I guess.

Even if China was to double their weapon capacity, to 300 missiles, they would still be FAR below both Russia and USA, when it came to missiles.. And they know very well to behave.. China have no interest in going to war with US, why should they.. If they want a broke US, they should just lend them the rope, and let US kill themselfs... With the loan they are getting all over the place this days to keep the image of a "superpower" afloat, it is just a matter of time before the whole ship is falling apart if you ask me..
