China (supposedly) doesn't have many more (270 or so?).
It's probably still a 'fact' the US could wipe out China's strategic forces in under four minutes (it was right at three back in my day). I always speculated, that if it got down to the jiggy, we'd take away any nukes India, Pakistan and (now) North Korea have in their inventories in the same stroke. This would mean sending their navies to the bottom of the sea as well. I'm certain we won't ask anyone nicely on that day.
Lots of people believe India can stand up to China. I'm not in that camp. All things considered, India needs to be a better planner for the two-front war than the US ever was. Don't know who would come to their aid if China attacked.
