The USA and its allies are just speculating about how
many nukes China have today. But it is still meager compared to the USA
or Russia. China needs to keep this a secret close to its chest. Small
in quantity does not mean small in damage if used correctly and
strategically.
North Korea has even fewer nukes by comparison,
but they are useful deterrents. No one seems to threaten North Korea
now. It does not matter whether that button is bigger or smaller as long
as it fires.
The only way forward for China is keep increasing
its nukes and close the gap fast. That it is keeping the USA and West
guessing is a good strategy.
We do not know to what extent is
the military alliance between China and Russia and whether direct
intervention is ensconced in their agreement when either is attacked and
will they help each other directly. That is perhaps also a good
strategy as it keeps the enemy guessing. If Iran goes nuclear and
together with North Korea, the odds ought to balance out against the
European nuclear powers.

The USA, the West, Israel and Japan are trying to conceal nuke possession by the latter two countries. China and North Korea should not reveal how many nukes they have. This is a National Security Issue, and such information should be kept close to their chests.
ReplyDeleteThe whole purpose of China using 5G and getting rid of Windows operating system and banning Western computers and iPhones are to prevent sensitive information from falling into Western hands. Western gadgets often have backdoors for spying purposes. Decoding machines sold by the USA to its allies were discovered to have backdoors, which enabled the USA to spy on messages passed between the allies. If they even think it morally right to eavesdrop on allies, what do you think they will not do to enemies?
The USA even tried installing bugs in Boeing planes sold to China. When Jiang Zemin bought a Presidential jet from Boeing, the Chinese discovered more than 20 bugs installed inside the plane. The plane was never used.
This brings to mind what the USA can do with planes from Boeing, like MH370 missing without a trace. Conspiracy theory?
