No, China does not have 3000 nuclear weapons.

I think it's unwise to be making up numbers that you can't prove. This is the same sort of speculation that is the reason this American report is considered an absolute joke in the intelligence community. The only traction it has gained are from those American factions with vested interests pushing for greater military spending to counter this imaginary threat.

Any additional debt by the US makes its economy weaker and smaller now (instead of bigger like it did before). There's no profit to be gained in ballistic missiles/defense against them; it can't be exported readily and it will never make its money back by bullying small states.

Now the F-35, that's a real money maker.

US not to get rid of its outdated nuclear stockpiles is a good news for us.

Rumor on Chinese military BBS is 3000 to 4000.

Facts and conjecture from dedicated organization is 300-600

not really, if China has more of a deterrance weapon, but others think they have less, would you say that is a smart policy for China? added uncertainty when it comes to nukes isn't particularly smart, unless a country is bluffing.

Nope, it was the US experts who said we have 240 nukes, but we never proclaimed how many nukes in our possession.

US also said that we won't fly our stealth fighter until 2025, so lets the US plays the God if you wish.

China is not lucky as the US, we have that crazy neighbor AKA Japan who is always paranoid about China's nuclear weapons, even though you guys are the one who nuked them.

I think Donald Rumsfeld and Mike Mullen should be more curiosity about China's nuclear arsenal than anyone else.

Typical American tactics.

Against a weak foe: You are a threat to us!!!

Against a strong foe: You are so weak!!!

Anyway, if this could make you sleep well at night, then go ahead.
