Look like China want to divert all American nuclear warhead to strike empty desert. I believe all the silo in the desert is 2/3 empty. This is all about deception to deceive satellites. Build more silos is easier than make a missile. If china turns all the Xinjiang, Tibetan, and inner Mongolian's desert into the massive silo complex, the US will waste more warhead to strike empty silo. This is why China's bigger geography is more important. And China still has so many bigger mountain ranges like Tianshan, Kunlun, Qinling mountain range to hide all the missile silo. Nuclear weapon is ineffective to penetrate mountains.

I don't see how this is a joke. One of the founding principles of the United States is the idea of governments hands off the daily well-beings of citizens. The Federal Government is only responsible for defense, foreign policy, implementation and interpretations of laws, and overseeing contracts. In this sense, it has never been the job of government entities to deal with the lives and deaths of ordinary people. Contrast to the small government of the US, both the Chinese emperors and contemporary CCP leaders are expected under the Confucian political culture to care for the ordinary people like an authoritative, but benevolent father (as imperfect as this maybe in reality). This is why if there were large-scale famines or man-made disasters, citizens were justified to rebel and establish a new dynasty (installing a new ruling father that does his job). Therefore, maybe it is China that should worry more about mass deaths as a result of great power war than the United States. The small government in the form of a representative government has ironically been one of the strengths of the US in riding disasters because the Federal Government face much less expectations to directly take care of its citizens.

I have to correct you: US government is anything but small.
