One more incentive for China is that in the scenario where the US is severely weakened, it will be a regional power with nukes sitting among prosperous nations not having nukes.
It's an infinitely better situation then for China, rather than being surrounded by nuclear armed countries.

- kumarvvr 9y agoWell, yes. So will the others. But in the present scenario, China atleast has a head start, has the resources and clout to discourage or sanction countries going towards nukes. Still a better situation than facing countries already armed with nukes.
