Chinese Nuclear Weapons Are Getting 'Bigger And Better'


China's Nuclear Weapons Are Getting Bigger And More Destructive -- Business Insider

China is on the cusp of truly ominous nuclear and space warfare gains, the 2014 annual congressional report from the US China Economic and Security Review Commission states.

The report warns that China’s nuclear warfare capabilities will rapidly modernise and proliferate. In 2013, the Pentagon estimated that Beijing’s nuclear arsenal was comprised of roughly 50 to 75 nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that could reach the US. Within the next 15 years, China will likely have an arsenal of over 100 ICBMs.

Just asking but why are they still using Mao Zedong pictures? Since I think the picture in the backround is a picture of Mao.

Good Rhaegar! You're getting better at this game now. Pictures are funny thing. Smart computer guys have always said there is alot more stuff (bytes etc, WNU would know) in a picture than there is in text. Just as in computers so it is in life. There is so much stuff in photos that it makes hard to completely fake one unless it's 100% photo shop. So always look at them closely, especially things that are considered everyday ho hum things, many times that's where you see the most interesting things.

Rhaegar,

If Mao is unimportant or is seen as not a good or great leader, then the CCP has no Mandate from Heaven.

No Mandate then people question their right to rule.
