How heavy is China nuclear warhead? China doesn't have nuclear-armed cruise missile like BGM-109 Tomahawk or AGM-86 ALCM meaning that China nuclear warhead have more fissile material and actually very heavy (need more rocket fuel to carry). China needs more nuclear test to miniature their nuclear warhead(physics package). Maybe can test in north korea to avoid worldwide sanction. For example W80 yield 150kt and weight about 130kg compared to china lightest warhead yield 200kt-300kt which is 500kg.

W80 warhead ~150kt max yield. Look at how small it is. I can't believe this thing is 7 times more powerful than Fat Man

China has it because China stole everything the US has.

日本已明确北京若发动台海战争将派自卫队协防台湾！那么北京“武统”时一定会使用“战术核武器”速战速决！

Japan has made it clear that if Beijing launches a war in the Taiwan Strait, it will send its Self-Defense Forces to help defend Taiwan! Then Beijing will use "tactical nuclear weapons" to make a quick battle during the "armed reunification"!

____________________________________
Recent meeting of US secretary of defense Austin at Japan and have discussed the situation of Taiwan.
Japan had stated it would send it forces to help Taiwan directly.

If PLA attack Japan, US forces will enter the war due US and Japan alliance

So in that scenario, China must take over Taiwan within 1 to 2 days.
In China right now floating tactical nuke against Taiwan as to quickly end the war. The site Most likely used is Taiwan mountain internally hosting Taiwan fighter jets.

China is planning it must end the war before japan can directly get involved

Sorry for going off topic, but is that report even true?

The report’s key finding is that given China’s large fast reactor program, China could conservatively produce 1,270 nuclear weapons by 2030 simply by exploiting the weapons-grade plutonium this program will produce. If China chose, in addition, to make weapons that either used highly enriched uranium or composite (uranium-plutonium) cores, it could increase this number by a factor of two or more.

It's always weird to me when people talk about a country having *only* a few hundred nukes. As if that isn't already enough to devastate another country.
