Nuclear arms race alarms posed by Chinese arsenal
Hosmer warned that the United States and the USSR enjoy a status quo standoff with China now a nuclear power. He estimated China has about 30 devices of 200 kilotons or less, a level he said could push India toward nuclear options and force Japan to re-evaluate its atomic defense posture. He argued the Red Chinese threat justifies antimissile development by the U.S. and Russia.
