I know, I know ... all this stuff is highly uncertain (although I used the US research data, just dont remember where I got it from).
But several things to point out:
1) Nobody exactly knows how many and what kind of warheads Chinese have (You are being the biggest China spec-st I know probably have more data) - In my opinion that they probably have less, but more powerful (old style) WH's.
2) I dont' know the state of China's civil defence (if they followed the Soviet model - i.e. at least one nuclear shelter in any district, under the district clinic) - number of survivors is a thing to discuss (How about those things in the USA or Canada? Do anyone of you know where is your nearest shelter?).
3) The same goes for their ways to transport food. You don't need to kill all those people directly (Saying for example destroying the Great Lakes cascade that makes about 60 percent of electricity, and let say destroying highly centralized oil refineries (Texas?) to cut the gasolin production by 50% - will effectively reduce USA ability to feed it's population). I have the numbers for Russia but that is only it.
