China uses Pakistan to blunt India's NSG membership bid

Many western "sources" have similarly cast much doubt on Chinese nukes and yields....because they are based on politics rather than technical and scientific acumen.

The ones that matter with access to the seismic signature data know better. They are the ones you have to spend time to dig up given such analysis is not open source.

But of course trolls will be selective to score their internet points, given they know nothing about the science behind it to begin with....and will simply lap up whatever suits their own bias since they are incapable of sufficient knowledge and critical analysis on the matter.

Want me to post single "think tank" opinions on Chinese/Russian nuclear weapons safety and claim that they speak for their entire country? Don't be a moron.



Like I said its just us, or we are fine with just the waiver that China folded without any resistance to like the paper tiger it is.

Already the Canadian and Australian Uranium is coming in the shiploads.....something Pakistan can never get....not that it has a massive nuclear energy expansion in the first place.

So yeah if China wants no piece of the Indian nuclear market for whatever political reason, thats fine. Waiver and bilateral treaties suit India just fine....with plenty of other more developed partners.

Sure keep telling yourself this that China has no thermonuclear weapons so you can sleep better at night.

Apart from the fact that there's just the Ra'ad & Nasr in nos ( some 30-40 ) The Shaheens , The Babur's the Ghaznavi are all show pieces borrowed from PRC totalling some 8-10 pieces each.

They haven't gone beyond a 1st gen or 2nd gen N fission bomb.more dirty bomb actually .They're believed to be setting up their N re processing plant now in Kahuta (?)

I understand that they've just about conducted a FBF in NK.Thanks to China .

Knowing the Pakistanis , if they had a TN , they would've announced it to the whole world in 1998.If they didn't receive it then , there's no chance they have it .Besides , apart from their unverifiable claim of testing a TN in 1998 with even lesser veracity than ours, it's a no brainier .They don't have it .I pretty much doubt they have a 3 Rd gen Fission bomb too.
