China could absorb 20 nukes and still function as a country>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not if the pattern was relegated to coastal cities and Beijing.

I would let OTHER PEOPLE rape and murder. Difference. Plus, China is the enemy. All bets are off.

Barbaric, yes. But we should fight to win.

After WWII, the Chinese wanted to have all male Japanese killed, all Japanese women sterilized and sold into prostitution for Chinese use, all Japanese children sterilized and used as Chinese slaves.

However, a Chinese General touting their plan, after touring Nagasaki and Hiroshima remarked, “You Americans do good work.” - from The Rape of Nanking.

Japan will eventually have nukes, one way or another. So will South Korea. So will Taiwan.

However, I'm dubious about those numbers for quantities of plutonium. I suspect most of that is reactor grade, not weapons grade. If it is weapons grade, then they set out, long ago, and at considerable extra expense, to start a nuclear weapons program.
