(1) pineapple futures would skyrocket (2) A lot of Japanese and British property would be destroyed (3) China would become an inhabitable wasteland, sort of like New Jersey except China would glow in the dark.

don't forget a few years back one of the PLA generals threated us to nuke L.A if we ever support Taiwan's independence. As a San Diego resident I felt seriously threatend by his stupidity.

Uh, the CCCP/Russia has had the ability to nuke Hawaii for 50+ years. I don't think the ability of the CCP to do so is any different. What should be of concern is that an unstable dictator in North Korea with nothing to lose has the ability to nuke Hawaii. I'm not a China apologist (and two wrongs don't make a right), but President Eisenhower publicly made the very same threat to China during the first Taiwan Straits crisis in the '50s. They waited 45 years for their chance to get back.

"don't forget a few years back one of the PLA generals threated us to nuke L.A if we ever support Taiwan's independence. As a San Diego resident I felt seriously threatend by his stupidity" Elcid has posted that the PLA sacked that general after making that comment, and it wasn't merely for any perceived embarassment to the Party or China or such; it was because it's not Chinese policy to go to startegic first strike. I hope ElCid is right. In the meantime, if I were on charge and China nuked something American, I'd go with an approach similar to Warhammer's and use Trident SLBMs to hit each and every Chinese ICBM silo and nuclear weapon storage facility tunnel entrance with multiple warheads over the course of a couple days.

"...over the course of a couple days." What makes you think there would still be anything in them after a couple of days? What is to assure that they wouldn't have already been unloaded ... 'through the muzzle'?

Because I'd want to make sure I catch them all, including reloads and ones that I missed in earlier strikes, plus then I'd just want to be extra sure after that. I'd rather overkill than let just one more slip out. Displacedjim

China as a civilization would be over. Cancer rates the world over would skyrocket as Chinese soil enters the upper atmosphere. I really do not believe that we will see a nation launching a nuke against a counterstike capable nation like the US, in our lifetime. It might happen if the higher leadership just goes plain nuts, but not likely. Any nukes that go off will be clandestine operations in the hopes of not drawing return fire. Though, even in that case, we will probably find out who they are, or maybe even just nuke the people on our list. I often wonder how hard it would be for China to load a nuke up in a boat, and park it off our west coast, or just in Hawaii in general. Yeah, you can figure out where the Uranium came from by analyzing its radiation, but that isn't going to help you if China bought the Uranium from another nation like Russia, the old Soviet states, or places like Nigeria. If China were to do that today, we might well blame it on Al Qaeda unless we had sound intelligence saying otherwise.

If that really happens, then end of the world will come. To wipe out China, enough nuke bombs have to be delivered, then the dust will choke Russians. And Russians will start to shoot. The world will be finished. Here I haven't mention Chinese nuclear capability. This is called total destruction theory.
