China is not a nuclear free zone. They have many nuclear weapons. Though China has a nuclear policy which states that they are not allowed to produce,fire, or give away these weapons.
See the following taken from wikipedia 'Nuclear free Zone' The meaning is what the local group decides, but it would certainly encompass being free of nuclear weapons. If a local authority which included a military nuclear weapons facility decided to ban it, it would introduce some farcical scenes, but this would probably not happen. Presumably the local group would not go so far as to ban medical use of radioisotopes. ''A nuclear-free zone is an area where nuclear weapons (see Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone) and/or nuclear power is banned. The specific ramifications of these depend on the locale in question. Many local authorities worldwide have declared themselves "nuclear-free". However, this label is largely symbolic, since most local authorities would be powerless to stop the construction of a nuclear plant if one was planned for the area. In the case of New Zealand its status as a nuclear-free zone is not symbolic but enshrined in the nation's legislation. New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to legislate towards a nuclear free zone, effectively renouncing the nuclear deterrent.''
Yes, China's first nuclear test took place in 1964, and they have roughly 200 warheads at this time; depending on who you ask. China also has a "no first use rule" meaning that they will only use nuclear weapons in retaliation.
No, India has both civil nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons
Yes, China has a significant nuclear power program with over 50 nuclear reactors in operation and more under construction. The country has ambitious plans to expand its nuclear energy capacity to reduce its reliance on coal and meet its growing energy needs.
The countries that produce the most nuclear power are the United States, France, and China. These countries have a high number of nuclear reactors and significant investments in nuclear power infrastructure.
The country that did not sign the Central Asian-Nuclear-weapon- free-zone treaty is Afghanistan.

China
its nuclear-free zone policy (A+)
Since this is looking for an opinion, there are bound to be several responses:View 1No. While on paper it sounds good to make the Middle East a nuclear free zone, it would not actually deter any of the states seeking nuclear weapons. Additionally, it would lead to Middle Eastern states being far more secretive about their nuclear capabilities.
nuclear zone warning signs mostly find near nuclear power plants .
China would prefer a nuclear-weapon-free Korean peninsula. However, China is North Korea's foremost foreign ally, so it is often unwilling to join the US and other nations in boycotting or sanctioning North Korean unwillingness to forego nuclear weapons.
