How Nuclear Missile, Submarine and Stealth Bomber Capabilities Match Up | WSJ U.S. vs. China

After decades of lagging behind the U.S., China has been rapidly expanding its nuclear force on land, at sea and in the air. The country has increased its numbers of ICBMs, developed its nuclear submarine capabilities, and announced the H-20 stealth strategic bomber.
Here’s how Beijing is developing its capabilities to try and close the gap with Washington D.C. in the next few decades.

Predictably, WSJ focuses mostly on equipment & next to nothing on nuclear doctrine & operations. A lot of the PLARF weaknesses cited by WSJ (e.g. the vulnerability of SSBNs) is of little relevance in the context of the PLA's doctrine of "minimal deterrence" - meaning that it doesn't plan to attempt any surprise attacks (i.e. 1st strike) on an adversary, & it only has to respond w/ a sufficiently devastating counterattack to any enemy 1st strike attempt. That's why it has never built & doesn't need to build anywhere near as big of an arsenal as that of the US. Even if a portion of the PLARF's arsenal is neutralized in an enemy 1st strike, it will still have enough left to destroy enough enemy population centers in a counterstrike to ensure MAD. This is the rationale behind the DF-41 silos.

Maybe the concept of a nuclear 'triad' ought to be revised for the modern strategic nuclear reality/capacities, etc, as in, the cold war paradigm of ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers doesn't really reflect the current strategic arsenals of the world's nuclear powers... Which have some qualitatively different systems that some nations field, including: -the old triad' of ICBMs, SLBMs, and conventional bombers, AND: -road mobile ICBMs (as well as strategic cruise missiles like the GLCM 'Glick-um' which was deployed in Europe near the end of the Cold War, and which some analysts considered a strategic checkmate vs the USSR-, and helped end the 4 decades of MAD), -manuverable hypersonic missiles/glide vehicles, -stealth (as opposed to conventional) bombers, -maybe even space-based weapons (currently restricted by treaty, but who knows?) -doomsday weapons like Russia's Poisiden '100 megaton' autonomous nuclear powered UUV, -and, (I hope not) something like a cobalt 60 doomsday nuke... At least the U.S. backed away from such doomsday weapons like FOBS, EMP nukes, and the SLAM nuclear powered hypersonic radiation-spewing multi warhead cruise missile, in the 60s! Maybe others will (other than Russia, apparently! China has demonstrated a FOBS capability, BTW, which is qualitatively different and much more threatening/hard to detect and counter than 'normal' ICBMs...) Thoughts 🤔?

ballistic missiles are technically hypersonic, the MIRVs reentering the atmosphere can travel up to mach 7. when people are talking about hypersonic missiles, they typically think of scramjet missiles that go above mach 5 but they forget ballistic missiles are hypersonic so technically the first hypersonic missiles were the early ballistic missiles made by the germans in the 1940s

If we were like other countries and took over and just subjugated the civilian populace, and intentionally killed unarmed civilians , yea that would make occupying countries easier but we didn't do that. Fighting wars where there aren't any actual objectives other than "occupy this space" make it impossible to have a decisive victory. America will never be invaded and taken over, if America is ever destroyed or truly defeated, the only one that I see ever able to do that is us to ourselves.

Their population shrunk for the first time last year and is forecasted to continue declining as time goes on. As their population shrinks, GDP shrinks, military budget shrinks, their ability to compete against the US will decline.

[@cowholy3031]

How about the American population? The European American population is shrinking and the Latino population is expanding so rapidly that sooner or later the president of the US will have to deliver his State of the Union address in Spanish.

[@npc2480]

The African population is growing rapidly, that must automatically mean they will be a super power with high GDP. Right?

[@rickstevenson9585]

@@npc2480 no, I was speaking specifically about China. You can’t just apply that to everyone. Africa’s agricultural land sucks and most of its rivers aren’t commercially navigable. African countries are also too fragmented and dysfunctional and unorganized to ever become super powers.

[@npc2480]

I don’t know if you deleted your reply or KZbin censored it but my comment is basically debunking the idea that population decline automatically means lower GDP. GDP can increase when people are more productive with automation and high tech industries like AI. Each person can then spend more money as they make more money by being more productive working in a high tech industry instead of blue collar work putting together iPhones on an assembly line. Also, just look at the US population and how it’s one fourth of China but has a higher GDP. This is the reason why many low paying jobs are moving out of China because wages has been slowly increasing.

[@Dept246]

Half of China’s population is still in the rural areas. That’s why there is potential for China to expand its economy. A poor farmer in China making $500 will get educated to become a doctor making $100,000.

I think its now the world of Hypersonic missles, people will be very scared to launch nuclear attack due to the repercussion from the other countries, but Hypersonic missles acts as a proxy tool. No defence systems will counter an hypersonic missle in the world. And also one more key difference is US won so many wars in the past and China has not won any till date. Having all the arsenal is one thing, knowing how to use if is a whole new different thing.

[@user-ul5lw6or8w]

Take a look at what wars the United States has won in modern times, spending tens of trillions of dollars to fight countries that have no ability to fight back, burdening its own citizens with heavy debts, and making people in third world countries full of hate for the United States. China can win these wars countless times if it wants to fight ， but what's the meaningful?

There is a big big difference between theory and experience. China has knowledge and experience in communist rule, it's what the US doesn't have. Now China has gained knowledge and experience in western rule this is why China has an edge over the US and the rest of the west in world financial dominance notwithstanding the fact that western financial sanctions against Russia are a signal of the downfall of western dominance.

[@ajaykumarsingh702]

Dominance has nothing to do with it. Sanctioning Russia was a stupid move as the West lost its credibility after that. Now every nation is avoiding trading in Western currencies and demanding trade with their local currency. Also no nation is depositing any of their national funds in any Western bank. World is also opting for an alternative payment system. And out of all this China has benefited from it the most.

If China and the U.S. did have a nuclear war 20 or 30 of China's nuclear warheads would have a devastating effect on the entire U.S. The bomb that fell on Hiroshima was a 15 -20 kiloton bomb. The warheads on our Trident missiles are 475 kilotons or 60 - 70 kilotons. I'm sure the yields of the warheads in China's nuclear arsenal are comparable. If a 500 kiloton bomb hit New York City the fireball alone would be the size of Manhattan Island. We need to start discussions on arms limitations with China. We don't need a repeat of the Cold War.
