Z,
Just so that we are on the same page here. How many warheads are you talking about in order to achieve MAD? Do note that the Chinese are considered to have 150-200 operational warheads. We don't know how many they maintain in component form. But we do know that they have enough stock for 3-5000 nukes. It is only a matter of riving up the factories.
