    Russia's nuclear arsenal is bigger than US, so your comment falls flat.

      While the numbers are wrong, the argument still stands that with a 4th of China's population, the US has more than 10 times the Chinese nukes count

        Right, but the number is pointless, as any use by a nuclear power will result in total world destruction.

      In fact, US and Russia combined own around 89% of all the nuclear arsenal.
