China threatens to nuke Japan

[sun rise]

Anyone for a repeat of what almost destroyed the world. China invades Japan. Japan and the US respond. China nukes Japan. The US obliterates China and China throws everything it has at the US. Biden needs to let the monsters ruling china know that the end of this is that nothing whatsoever will be left of china but a radioactive puddle. Because if we give in to their blackmail, it's all over for the rest of the world.

(Anyone who thinks that a dictatorship's outlet is not speaking for the tyrants is utterly naive).

Japan is located very close to China, I suspect lethal radioactive fallout over Japan could very well spread over China. Therefore, I seriously doubt China could nuke Japan without China herself suffering massive causalities.

I wonder whether the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings caused causalities in China. I'm aware the bombs were less powerful at that time, but perhaps they could use less powerful (and yet) distributed in various parts? Idk, just curious.

It's a stupid communist channel spewing propaganda.

China knows full well the repercussions if they ever did as they would incur a very serious response on part of the free world.

COLUMBIA Class

The COLUMBIA Class SSBN is the nation’s future Sea Based Strategic Deterrent, is the Navy’s number one acquisition priority, and will provide the most survivable leg of the Nation’s strategic triad. It replaces the currently serving OHIO Class SSBNs and must be constructed and delivered on schedule beginning in FY2027 to meet United States Strategic Command requirements.

Representing a generational recapitalization of the SSBN force, COLUMBIA class will ensure continuous sea-based strategic deterrence into the 2080s. The COLUMBIA class will be the largest, most capable and most advanced submarine produced by our nation.

They might have access to neutron bombs, bombs with very little fallout after a few days have passed.

Depending on the direction of the winds, there might be some fallout over Manchuria, but it is unlikely to produce 'massive casualties', at least in the short run. Over the longer term, there would be a slightly increased rate of cancer.

More likely, the fallout would go over the Pacific ocean.

I wonder whether the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings caused causalities in China.

No. The bombs then were *much* smaller (by a factor of about 100-1000) and the fallout was fairly localized.

I'm aware the bombs were less powerful at that time, but perhaps they could use less powerful (and yet) distributed in various parts? Idk, just curious.

I'm not familiar with what China has in its arsenal, but I doubt this is the main thing in their thinking about this. Much more relevant would be the response from the other nuclear powers.

I don't want anybody getting cancer due to nuclear fallout; please let us agree to a diplomatic solution in order to resolve the ROC-PRC conflict whereby Taiwan is ceded to mainland China in 2049, this being the 100th year anniversary of the People's Republic of China's proclamation. Perhaps Japan as well as other Pacific Rim nations could be involved humanitarianly by taking in Taiwanese refugees.

That channel has to be approved by the rulers of China.

They're acting like classic bullies and acting like an expansionist power grabbing territory everywhere they can.

They should not get away with it.

It would depend entirely on a bunch of factors. There are tactical nukes, for example, designed for battlefield deployment, as opposed to strategic missiles.
Weather conditions, etc, also play a role.
