Which country assisted china to develop nuclear weapons?
Originally the USSR was assisting them with reactors and was promising to supply nuclear weapons if needed, so China would not have to develop their own. However the USSR withdrew from this agreement in 1959. This caused China to begin their own nuclear weapons project, culminating in their first test in 1964. So nobody assisted China to develop nuclear weapons. They did it on their own.
Why did the cold war result in an arms race?
Because there was no true defense against nuclear weapons. Once both sides had nuclear weapons, the only way to "protect" themselves from the other side was to have so many more nuclear weapons that even if their enemies used all of their nuclear weapons, there would still be nuclear weapons to shoot back with. That way, nobody would use nuclear weapons, because they could never actually "win" that way. This thought process was referred to as Mutually Assured Destruction, or MAD.

How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.
Why countries feel they must develop nuclear weapons and who are these countries?
They feel the need to have nuclear weapons so they have protection against nuclear threats or actually anykind of threat. Countries might be Iran, Iraq, Russia(U.S.S.R)
