Wouldn’t that just keep them busy for the afternoon doing math 1.4 billion -........=.
1.4 billion Chinese citizens dead would be a propaganda dream for the Chinese Government. In reality, the Chicoms do not care about their own people. The nation of China is vastly overly populated. Slave labor with slave wages is the norm. The workers are no more than economic ants to be fed to the ant-eaters. What China needs is a movement to enshrine the workers. Long live the proletariat. Oh wait. That is what they got. Communism. Never Mind.

1.43 billion, minus 4 major cities, plus countless smaller towns and villages, minus 400 million murdered innocent Chinese = a rounding error, minus loss of face = nuclear war.
The CCP does not care about loses to population rather cares about loss of face loss, of standing because the CCP is never wrong. Insults such as the above would unite the Chinese people behind the once hated CCP and now demand blood of the murderer in equal or superior numbers.
Once you have seen 10s of thousands of Chinese coming at you with pitchforks, climbing over the dead bodies of their fellow pitchfork wielders piled 6-10 feet high, in the dead of a freezing winter night, and into withering Ma Duce fire, barrels glowing cherry red, you will never doubt their sincerity to willingly die when necessary for their cause.
Never make threats that result in the worse case scenario for you.
Nah. Just commence submarine warfare against their container ships. Plausible deniability as to who sank them.
The Chinese are aware this vulnerability, which is why they are so keen to establish “belt and road” land routes to their markets and suppliers.
