How many nuclear weapons does China have?

A recent study from Georgetown suggested that China had 3,000 nuclear weapons. Hans Kristensen isn't so sure:

'Although we donâ??t know exactly how many nuclear weapons China has, we are pretty sure that it doesnâ??t have 3,000. In fact, the Georgetown University estimate appears to be off by an order of magnitude.'

In fact, he thinks the number is actually ... 100.
