Talk:China and weapons of mass destruction

Untitled

China can mass produce thousands of hydrogen bomb if they want to, so the figure can never be accurate. They may have 200 now, and they may have 1000 the next month. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.135.172 (talk) 20:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Many nuclear powers can produce a lot if they want to. Many "peace-loving" countries like Japan do have the capability to produce a lot in a short time. The numbers are not meaningless. Your comment is. -Friend2008 (talk) 06:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

History?

What was the history of the development of China's nuclear programme up to 1964? Where was it based? What technologies did it use? Did it gain any advantage from foreign technology? How long did it take?

These are all questions that I think it would be good for the article to cover (or a spin-off article, on the early development of the Chinese military nuclear programme).

Mentioned in passing in an article in today's Daily Telegraph [1] is that the U.S. proposed a joint pre-emptive U.S.-Soviet attack on the Chinese nuclear sites in 1964, but was rebuffed. Is any more known about this?

Can anyone suggest a bibliography of the best reliable sources for the history in this area? Jheald (talk) 12:31, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree that there should be a section regarding the PRC's nuclear weapons program and development leading up to their 1964 test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doyna Yar (talk • contribs) 17:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The only nuclear state with a security assurance to non-nuclear states?

In the section on China's nuclear policy, the article says China is the only NWS no guarantee that no nukes will be used against nonnuclear states. I think this is outdated; didn't President Obama say the U.S. won't do that. I think he said that in early April 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malarauko (talk • contribs) 15:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Please give detail. I don't think it was a solid national policy even if he did say so in an occasion-Friend2008 (talk) 06:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge with China's nuclear testing series

A section in China and weapons of mass destruction should be started to accommodate current article. Cheers AKS 10:01, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Copied from the other talk page: Dang, I only created that page tonight (I think; its late)  :) . Give me a week or two to get some things further organized. This page is a part of a structure walking downwards from Worldwide nuclear testing counts and summary all the way to the 2000+ individual testing events level, and I finally have it all pretty much in place. I'm more than happy with a link to the page in the appropriate place (and that goes for all the other countries as well). Cheers, and a happy new year. SkoreKeep (talk) 10:12, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

This same merge has been suggested for three countries: France, Great Britain and China. To comment on this merge as well as the other two, go to Talk:France and weapons of mass destruction#Proposed merge with France's nuclear testing series to make comments.

I just want to say this article should explain when and how America started to share nuclear weapons info. with China while they were good allies. It doesn't let us know in the article. America made a stupid mistake there if you ask me.
