We don't build a 3,000 miles underground great wall if we are not confident enough in our 2nd-strike nuclear capability. The mountain terrain of the Central and the West is perfect place to hide our nuclear capability and avoid retaliation. I really wish we can disclose our real nuclear capability so everyone does not question our capability to destroy the US but for political reason and deference reason, we keep our mouth shut. Everyone can speculate however they want. We, Chinese, feel confident we have enough to assure MAD with anyone.Do not forget that 100 missles - is the minimum that should remains in the case of retaliation, rather than of primary attack.

Back in 2005, a General in the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and dean at the National Defense University in China commented to visiting Hong Kong reporters on Friday that the PLA might use nuclear weapons against the U.S., in a conflict over the Taiwan Strait. "If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition onto the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons," Maj. Gen. Zhu Chenghu said to the reporters of the Asian Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. "We Chinese will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian [in central China]. Of course the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds ... of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese."
