I guess I am wrong, but I thought everyone stopped launching nukes in the 60s or so... and I don't think China looked like this in the 60s. I know some countries then started exploding them underground. And now, I think everyone has stopped old-fashioned testing and moved on to supercomputers.

This wasnt a real nuke. Some weird atmospheric phenomenon. I wouldnt be surprised if it had to do with all that crazy pollution they've been having.

Probably underground. A poor, isolated country might resort to such testing, but I don't recall anyone in recent memory (after the 60s) exploding a nuke in the sky, for all to see.

Makes sense.

Oh good, someone else posted that it's not a nuke. It's a supercell, a massive thunderstorm. The kind the produce tornadoes and hail, given the right wind conditions. You can tell because of the rising cumulonimbus (fluffy) clouds in the middle and the anvil - not mushroom - formation.
