When China has so many fearful neighbors, that’s a sign there’s a serious problem with China.
Or jus a sign of massive US empire extortion/bribery. US funds terrorism all across the belt and road initiative. US navy can be easily wiped out. Just because media/political consumers are stupid, doesn’t mean rulers are.
You have The Chinese telling all of their neighbors in the S.C. sea that they own it, trying push the Philippines back, trying to push the Vietnamese back.
Also, the US Navy is no joke, don’t play. The Chinese armed forces could likely beat the US Asian fleet, but it would be costly - nowhere nearly “easy”. Primarily the Chinese advantage is volume of material and simpler supply lines. The tech is near equal, with the Chinese being on newer airframes, but the Americans having significantly more proven tech and procedures, especially in the Navy.
Taking on the Amer cans would not be like using water cannons on the Philippines boats, or hatchets in the Himilayas.
nuclear strikes on a carrier fleet are an easy way to sink them. No civilian casualties. War doesn’t have to be a fuck around process.

There’s room for compromise on a greater cooperation agreement, especially with Vietnam. Philippines deserve destruction or overthrow of their corrupt US puppet.
Only a feeble-minded person could believe that anyone could confidently use nuclear weapons against the United States and not face equal retaliation. The people would demand it.
Interesting theory that people would demand doomsday for some ships getting sunk. That people cannot accept the end of their empire’s military projection. The US should then preemptively use nukes, with popular support, in any war they will fail in. Guarantee you that there will be no referendum on retaliation, only the usual media militantism and tyranny.
The MAD doctrine only gets invoked at the sight of several incoming missiles on territory. It is your response to navy being sunk that causes MAD.
And every major population in the U.S. would be annihilated in return. If China decided to nuke their own coast, America would either do nothing about it or come to a swift and total end.

It’s not an at American influence, come on now.

China has a no-first-strike policy on nukes. It’ll likely just use hypersonics

Which is why your projection about nuclear weapons is just stupid. It ain’t happening.
