Does that concerns you? China is much less urban than the USA. About 40 half megatonn charges will destroy their whole infrastructure, but they will lose only 20% of the population. With 120 of the same warheads you can destroy the whole infrastucture of the USA, but that will mean 40% of the population will die instantly and 80% in the next 3 months. The whole continent willl not only sink to the stone age, nobody wil want to live on it for couple of centuries.
