What Should China Do If The US Uses Tactical Nukes?

China already has roughly half the total megatonnage of destructive power of US if you add up all the megatons of nukes. It just has less delivery vehicles. Just divide those warheads into smaller warheads, place them into MIRVed MARVed missiles, come on China.

35000 nukes is overkill for *any* MAD scenario... even say the top 10 cities of any superpower (,US, China, USSR, India, etc) wiped out would be a nation ender event... thats not something any country can recover from....

Lets say MAD does happen, that is a true Great Reset and Great Equalizer event... then its matter of which side eventually builds back better, faster...

Thats where the underground stuff comes into play. Likely major powers have seeds vaults, to store not just crop seeds but other stuff like even human dna diversity to restart the race/species... and a blueprint of quickly building back from zero (stone age) to modern within say timespan of 50 years rather than 5000 years...

Things like nueral networks that take millions of dollars to train/calc can be stored in archive, like the Google Deepmind AlphaGo Zero AI network that costs $25 million on state of art data center produces just a neural net of disk size 200megabytes lol!!! It took mathematician lifetime to calculate PI to 400 digits, and first computer ENAIC was used to calculate ballistic trajectory tables that Excel does much better and faster these days

Im saying nowadays you cannot even build a CPU without using another CPU in the process, cannot make a computer without a computer, cannot code a compiler without using another compiler... but starting over again will not take as long as its possible to go from zero (stone age) to EUV 5nm within half a century timespan... We just need to leave enough tools, data, seeds, blueprints, maps and accessible format to do the bootstrapping, kinda like the voyager golden records that are universal instructions in a way even any aliens will be able to decipher and understand... we need to leave enough tools and instructions in readily accessible format for a worst case scenario post MAD situation that the Chinese civilization can start from zero and build up faster/better in record time and out compete the rest of the world... but in order for that to happen, it must be a true MAD situation and for that to be possible China needs at least 1000 deliverable nukes....

This is why US trying to trick China to sign nuke treaty, they see within decade this window will close for good

"America and the West want to destroy China"

the "West" is essentially the heir of the British Empire

The British Empire suffered a great crisis (1914-1948/49) that we can compare to the great imperial crisis (ca. 250-300) of the Roman Empire

All Empires ...

Egyptian empire, Assyrian empire, Roman empire 1.0 (-250) Roman empire 2.0 (300-), Portuguese empire, Spanish empire (1492-), Anglo Empire 1.0 (1814-1914) Anglo Empire 2.0 (1945-) ...

Are very similar or it is the same and "history is a dry copy-mummy of itself"

Well

the Anglo Empire 2.0 was founded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki

the boys and girls of the western empire are told children's stories of course, but we know that the brilliant and luminous founding act of this terrible and monstrous empire was to make it clear to everyone who was the "top dog"

Well

In my opinion, I do not believe that the Anglo empire seeks the destruction of China, but ... but ... we are talking about an empire that like any empire is blind, fanatic and arrogant

this is the assessment of the situation (ca. 2020) in my opinion

This is the most recent example of us hell bent on integrating south korea into integrated missile defence system by putting thaad on south korea, they do this without considering south korea interest with $243 billion in trade with China they got a lot to lose
Had the Chinese not b***h slapped the south koreans with economic sanctions there will be more buildup of the defense system battery and that the country would be integrated into a regional U.S. missile defense system

The problem is that these system isn't capable of protecting SK against China or Russia (or even NK). What these system does is that it gives the US a bit more edge in geostrategic struggle against China and/or Russia. This means that China and/or Russia will have to target SK as well as the US in return.
