Come on, do you really believe that this bunch of people can find out more about the Chinese nuclear arsenal than the CIA, comparing the resource disparity available to them?
I doubt this "revelation" will be anything more than spreading the Chinese threat theory and drumming up more support to the budget cut resistance. Besides, whatever those numbers are, a nuclear war between the major nuclear powers (coincidentally, also the permanent UN security members) will be disastrous for human civilization, if not completely ruinous.

On the different story,
米、イランへの圧力強化 日本などに原油輸入削減要請へ
American put pressure on Iran and ask Japan and others to reduce their oil import from Iran.
What's interesting is the following:
日本は昨年、原油の約１割をイランから輸入。サウジアラビア、アラブ首長国連邦、カタールに次ぐ第４位の調 達先だ。
Last year, Japan imports about 10% of crude oil from Iran, its the fourth largest supplier behind only Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.
