“The use of small warheads will lead to the use of bigger ones,” Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie told the Post. “If other countries use nuclear weapons on us, we have to retaliate. This is probably why there is research to develop new weapons.”Just a matter of when and who uses nukes first. But that is not necessarily the US, China or Russia. Could be Pakistan, India or Israel, for instance.
