I read somewhere a few years ago that their arsenal is only 300 warheads but I believe China has increased that number.
The US hasn't built a nuclear weapon in over 30 years, nor has it tested a nuclear weapon in over thirty years. It's ICMB force is ancient. Majority of nukes are in storage facilities and not combat ready, those that are combat ready are clustered in the Dakotas. With the level of infiltration going on in the USA (in every frigging level of their Intel agencies) I am absolutely sure the Chinese know where each and every one of those nukes are.
Aside from that Jojo Biden + Administration is clearly against nuclear weapons and has on several occasions blocked the US military from keeping its nuclear arsenal combat ready.
US nuclear force is not in good shape right now.
