This is CBS on the world. I'm John Batchel. Gordon Chang. That's Gordon G. Chang, my colleague and co-host.

And it's thrilling to welcome back to the show after too long apart. Toshi Oshahara, now senior

theater range. A dual capable simply means that those systems can deliver both conventional

warheads. They can also deliver nuclear warheads. And depending

on the kind of missile that you're talking about, some of those missiles will also be able to

hit ships at sea. So this is the Chinese ballistic missile program, or does it include

cruise missiles and all the hypsos like hypersonic?

Is everything in this category?

That's correct.

Yeah, it includes ballistic missiles.

It includes ground-based launched cruise missiles, for example.

It includes hypersonic missiles that fit within those ranges.

Gordon, you have a question.

So, Toshi, two questions, actually.

Does the United States have nuclear warheads for such delivery systems?
