Defence Studies Vol 14 No 2, June 2014, pp.161-191 (105)Summary: China is undertaking substantial modernization of its nuclear weapons programmes, a process widely assumed to be in response to American counter capabilities. However this article points out that a different interpretation is possible: namely that China seeks nuclear warfighting capacity and may not observe the same constraints on use of nuclear weapons as have so far held worldwide since 1945. The article also acknowledges that there is still much that is unknown about China's nuclear systems and forces.
