* DF-5/CSS-4: Liquid-fuelled ICBM, so not exactly brilliant. Long suspected of being a upgraded copy of the [[UsefulNotes/SuperiorFirepowerIntercontinentalBallisticAndCruiseMissiles Titan II]], a result of Chinese espionage. A non-nuclear DF-5 was first tested by China in May 1980, with the target site located northwest of Fiji in the South Pacific. China sent notices of the countries surrounding the area ahead of time while the PLA-N sailed to retrieve the test missile. That deployment holds the record as the farthest deployment the PLA-N has gone from its shores.

The exact payload is unknown, although observed guesses suggests it has either a single 1 megaton warheads or 3-4 MIRVs of around 100 kilotons. Range of up to 8,000 kilometers, able to reach the US west coast from Chinese waters but only just.

**''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': China manages four nuclear-armed DF-21s right before their base was destroyed, apparently in retaliation for the U.S. nuclear bombing of their country. Three of the four missiles are shot down by USN and JSMDF destroyers while the fourth was not intercepted due to one of the crewmen of the USS ''Curtis Wilbur'' infecting the entire ship with the zombie virus. The result was the fourth DF-21 exploding in the atmosphere above Japan, rendering the country without electricity.

The People's Republic of China detonated its first nuclear weapon in 1964. Since the PRC Military are secretive to say the least, the precise number of nukes that they have is unknown and estimates range from c.150 to c.400. Similarly, the range, throw-weight, number of warheads, and just about everything else published are basically guesswork. As always in these matters, remember that those who know don't talk, and those who talk don't know.
