China only needs to launch its twenty or so nuclear weapons with 5megatons each it will make the american continent to poluted to sustain life. Throw in some other missles in the region and the whole world is un-sustainble thanks to the american attack.

From what i am aware of the americans have a escalation poliicy not a first general strike
And you need to destroy the US bases in the UK, which store nukes.
And the US bases in Japan and South Korea.
And Guam.
And Rammstein in Germany.
China has other missiles. the DF-5 is a missile to hit the US mainland.
2: China's communist party collapses or suffers revolutionary civil war. Soon.
Yes, but you can't hit the UK. Or all the other targets. That's my whole point.

That's for conventional warfare, see Serbia/Kosovo. If you launch a nuke into Washington
Yes, but you can't hit the UK. Or all the other targets. That's my whole point.
Chinas first response is not to launch a nuke at washinton but use tactical nuclear weapons on the americans carriers. if the americans respond by nuking chinas civillian centers than china will nuke washinton

Unfortunately such a tactic would almost guarantee a US nuclear response.
Get a different map, one that gives accurate measures of distance, 99% of projectons do not.
Chinawhite, you live in Australia

The DF-4 has a range of 7,000km so it would still be a long way in chians borders.

Nuclear winter will not happen with the 20 or so missiles hitting the USA but with the US resonse (leveling china to a giant carpark) I am pretty sure there will be massive fallout and radioactivity
Apc why is the sucess rate 50%?. seeing as how the chinas launch sucess in launching satellites has been 100% for the last decade.
2: China's communist party collapses or suffers revolutionary civil war. Soon.
Why would it?. china is going through the longest ever time in prosperity in recored history. (Not time but growth rates)

Like I said... you need to study up. A "nuclear winter" is the result of massive amounts of fallout being pumped into the atmosphere. This only happens with big big big bombs, like in the 10MT range. The US doesn't use these. There's no point. We use small nukes, because we can aim.
Publicly, 100%.
We all know China is just like the Soviets in this regard. The government does not release all information to the public. I sleep easy at night knowing many Chinese rockets exploded on the pad.
Maybe you should read up on "recorded history." Specifically the USSR, late 1980s.
