China shares Russia’s concerns about US conventional and missile-defense superiority, and is increasing and modernizing its estimated 240-weapon stockpile. With China taking that course, India – outside the NPT but with 100 weapons of its own – feels the need to add to its own arsenal.
中国与俄罗斯有着相似的关于美国常规和导弹防御超级实力的担忧，并正在增加和现代化其大约240枚核武器。中国这样做让印度——未签署NPT但拥有100枚核武器——觉得必须扩大其核武库。接着，巴基斯坦也会更坚决的紧随印度步伐。
