China's Nuclear Buildup

January 16, 2002 | ISSUE 38•01

According to a new CIA report, China is expected to have as many as 100 long-range nuclear missiles aimed at the U.S. by 2015. What do you think?

  • We don't need to worry about the Chinese using nukes. They'd first need to find an unpopulated area to test them.

  • Would it be culturally insensitive of me to say I hope they don't blast us to atoms? I don't want to offend anybody.

  • Maybe it's time to flood China with opium again. Failing that, flood me with opium.

  • If only Sting had possessed the foresight to hope that the Chinese love their two government-allotted children, too.

  • We shouldn't worry. Judicious use of force is the traditional and typical of Chinese glorious history and cultural.

  • Doesn't China know that only the U.S. is responsible enough to have a nuclear arsenal?
