This ebook provides a reproduction of an important Naval War College document,
China's Nuclear Force Modernization, part of the Newport Papers series, with information on nuclear weapons and missiles, command and control, undersea nuclear forces, ballistic missile defense countermeasures, and the Chinese space program.

Contents include: Chapter One, China's Nuclear Command and Control * Chapter Two, China's Undersea Nuclear Deterrent, Will the U.S. Navy Be Ready? * Chapter Three, China's Space Development and Nuclear Strategy * Chapter Four, Chinese BMD Countermeasures: Breaching America's Great Wall in Space? * Bibliography * Abbreviations. The report states: "China's nuclear modernization is one neglected component of Beijing's broad effort to improve its armed forces. Certainly, this is largely the result of the extreme opacity of the data available on Chinese nuclear forces and their future development. Another explanation could be perplexity concerning the overall significance of a nuclear force that is so different from that of the United States. The long-anticipated DF-31 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is now deployed... One gains some appreciation of Beijing's perspective on the significance of this new weapons system when one realizes that the Chinese first revealed it to the world on October 1, 1999. While this is not the first road-mobile, solid-fuel missile deployed by China, it is the first one capable of striking the continental United States. A related major development in late 2004 was the revelation that the first of China's second-generation nuclear missile submarines, called Type 094, had been launched in July 2004. As a platform for the new JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), the 094 may well be able to strike the continental U.S. from China's territorial waters. For China, these are very significant, if long anticipated, steps toward finally establishing credible nuclear deterrence."
