"Coast" doesn't mean "urban".... Basically - China's population is more geographically concentrated than US.....
Practically the whole country goes to the factories on the coasts. They all travel home for their New Year because they have strong family traditions. The whole country travels at once. It's madness.
When everything is said and done China, thanks to its enormous rural population, always has been and remained, more capable of surviving nuclear war than any other country. This is a fact which the leadership clearly understood, and would be foolish not to exploit, at least for diplomatic purposes.
China will rebuild its population base out of any area on the map you showed. They are in the best position to emerge and rebuild from a nuclear exchange. I wouldn’t test them.

Whenever I’m formulating war strategy I always put the advice of nihilists with little to live for at the very top. Second only to Malthusians, of course. But once the Malthusian opinions are in, straight to the nihilists.
