The US vs China (war game debate)

I am eager to avoid any appearance that I am attempting to “argue” that China would triumph in a Total War scenario (even one that ignores many American areas of superiority, as in this case.) My goal here is to simply move the Chinese side of the game map as realistically as I can, while the evil tyrant Wrich attempts to lay waste to my game pieces with his own toy-soldiers. In this contest, we have agreed to be bound by the Wiki descriptions of our competing military capacity. This means that, whatever the disputed reality may be, the Wiki remains the final arbiter. We may use the Wiki data as our toy-boxes, with the assets that can be found therein. In other words, the PRC may possess as few as one workable nuclear weapon, or as many as a thousand that are held in secret… but I am allowed only whatever is in the Wiki. Point of Interest: It was noted that I used a Google Earth image of an American nuclear silo in order to show that the size of these facilities would make them easy to conceal. The START I treaty required the United States to disclose the coordinates for all such silos by law. The Soviet Union, then the Russian Federation was also bound by this requirement. This is why these locations can be found on Google Earth. China is not a signatory of START I, and so retains the ability to conceal its nuclear silos, which remain secret. These locations are as well hidden as Osama bin Laden, and so cannot be bulls-eyed by American targeting systems with any degree of perfection. My Moves: 1. My cabinet and intelligence counsel has strongly advised me that American military elements are in the advanced stages of launching a full-scale nuclear attack on the Chinese mainland. The American military commander, Wrich, has made public statements that support these findings. It is now assumed that the first nuclear strikes could occur as soon as this round. The Wiki does not allow me any means to unilaterally avoid nuclear war, and so the decision to proceed with a nuclear holocaust rests entirely with the Imperialist Capitalist Tyrant Wrich. 2. We will begin scattering critical personnel and equipment and other resources away from population areas and other likely targets of the impending nuclear strike. The hope is to increase the survivability of these critical assets. We will also begin bunkering as much of the key population and infrastructure as is possible. The PRC has constructed elaborate nuclear resistant shelters that are thousands of miles long. [1][2] The American media has learned that the 21st Century version of our Great Wall of China, the “Underground Great Wall” has already been constructed, and is 3000 miles long. [3] Food, medicine and other critical needs will be stored here at once. 3. We will press into military service the entirety of the Chinese population, with a special emphasis on preparing to survive the American nuclear assault. Every effort will be made to detect and track the locations of the Trident submarines, as well as Pacific airspace. 4. In order to shorten the detection/response time, we will keep our arsenal constantly ready for immediate launch. This will allow most of The PRC’s nuclear capacity to be expended after an American strike has begun, but before the first nuclear detonations have had time to degrade our facilities. Counter-Strike: The Chinese response to a massive American nuclear attack cannot be focused on disabling the American WMDs before they are launched. Prevention is not possible, and if the Americans cannot be deterred, the only way to prevent more attacks is to destroy utterly the entire American population. This can be achieved if a large enough fraction of the PRC’s nuclear arsenal survives the first American launches. Given the fact that the imminent American attack is no longer unexpected, there can be little doubt that at least some deliverable nuclear missiles will survive even the most robust American first strike. However, it would be a mistake to assume that we will only use nuclear weaponry. In the early 1980’s, one of our secret labs accidentally released a biological weapon of unimaginable terror. Once contained, we had developed a weaponized strain of Hemorraghic Fever. [4] We have placed warheads tipped with these nightmare weapons onto submarine gunships, and these have been prepositioned in international waters close to American population centers. Any attack on these submarines will trigger an automatic response fromt he PRC. There exists no method to treat hemorrhagic fever, and vaccines can prevent only a few strains, but not the weaponized strains developed during the 1980’s. [5] These can easily be dispersed by aerosols, and are quickly spread by personal contact. Since we expect large levels of bunkering in American urban centers, we expect the virus to spread uncontrollably once released. Images of the symptoms of hemorrhagic fever are far too gruesome to be allowed on this site, and include profuse bleeding from the eyes, mouth, ears and nose. Other symptoms include delirium, exhaustion, sub-cutaneous bleeding (bleeding under the skin), confusion, coma and shock. The few Americans who survive our nuclear counter-strike will be turned into horror-move biohazards, drowning in their own blood. [5] The results of the biological attack are impossible at the moment to calculate with certainty. However, we can be more certain about the effects of our nuclear counter-strike: http://www.debate.org...(Above) Nuclear weapons are powerful, but they are not supernatural. They cannot kill everyone; this table details expected deaths among "Sheltered" versus "Non-Sheltered" populations. (Below) The expected cost in human lives following an attack from a portion of the Chinese arsenal on the United States. Americans live predominantly in urban areas, in close proximity to one another. This will increase the destruction of each "nuclear footprint." If civilians flee the cities, then the critical city infrastructure will still be lost. (The "Sheltered" figures here represent civilians that have fled urban areas, since America does not possess bunkers that can accommodate several million persons, as China does.) http://www.debate.org... http://www.debate.org... (Above) Casualty figures for various American attack strategies are detailed. The attacks will cause varying degrees of damage depending on the type of nuclear bomb used, as well as the target.
