Does China Really Have Nuclear Weapons?

You don't know I guess that CEP is NOT the same as "accuracy"?

it is an indicator of accuracy.
What's the difference, for a rocket weapon, such a range corresponds to almost absolute accuracy, you don't shoot at sparrows

This is just Wikipedia. I can write this too

A Wikipedia article with 10 separate academic references.

as a rule, when you follow these "academic links", either it is not there, or the author didn’t ******* understand what was written there, or it’s a copy-paste from John Smith's tweeter

No, not really. And it is not just rockets, any weapon that operates in a ballistic trajectory has a CEP. CEP and accuracy are close, but not an exact comparison. And the conversion largely grows if you are talking about nuclear weapons as opposed to conventional ones.

If you are firing conventional artillery with a CEP of 50 meters, yet a blast radius of 25 meters, a lot of your warheads are not going to damage the target at all. But once the blast radius becomes larger than the CEP (or even the CEP cubed), then it largely becomes meaningless. Being 40 meters off target with a 75 kt nuclear warhead is largely meaningless, it only starts to come into play if talking about a hardened target.
