Yes, but China won't be attacking our Cities. With only 250 missiles, they have to target our launch facilities (if they can even find them all) or they won't be around long enough to see if their missiles hit anything.

What if each missile is armed with 4-12 warhead?

Won't matter. The entire military might of China cannot destroy the US mainland right now. It's simply not enough and the US is just too big (larger than mainland China). You would have to invade and even if you could get your troops here (the few that would be left will swim I guess), you would then be facing the most horrendous foes you could ever imagine and that is the surviving American people, armed and pissed off at you.
No, as I've said all along, China and the US will not go to war with each other, not even over Taiwan. I don't believe that China is suicidal and that is what it would be. I say again, any country that Nukes the USA will not survive as a country. We have made it pretty clear what the results would be. Doubt us if you want, but I bet the leaders of China don't.

The article reveals some of China's nuclear capabilities and also points out that some missiles are pointed at Russia. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that China/Russia have a military pact and have a strong recent relationship? Afterall, China is funding the Russian military after the economic collapse of the Soviet Union and their recent ties.

They need to send satellites up there first I believe.
Yes. US has the GPS with precision of about 100 or 10 meters? Russia also has a similar system. China now has at least 3 satelites for positioning.
Anyway, I think 100 meter error does not mean much for nukes.

Again, even if China had identical technology, 8000 nukes against 250 is just too much of a gap. Someone said that China could hit 90% of the US with nukes. Is that all at once?

Where are you getting your facts the US military has between 150-200 satellites up there if not more and the gps system is accurate to 1-5 meters so 3 satellites with 200 big gap also the US put its first satellite up more than 40 years ago also china I believe has 20 ICBM's the rest of its nukes are not ICBM's just regular dumb bombs and check our Janes defense that is where i got my facts about chinas ICBM's so if china it thinks it can take out Russia and the US with that much damn its in big trouble the US can shoot that many down so china is in big trouble.

Truth is, they certainly don't have ALL of their stuff pointed at us and we don't have ALL our stuff pointed at them so we don't realy know what the actual effective numbers are.

Do you know the difference of a city being nuke once or 34 times?
Why US did not dare to use Nuke on the first Korean War, when China did not have any missle and nuke for retaliation? You sure think US would like to have nulear exchange with China today. :LOL:

You may be able to tell us about the city nuked 34 times with your rhetoric
Despite this, you were still beaten back to the old lines
