And just why it is unlikely the PRC would attack the US first? Today they don't want to destroy a big customer and part of their supply chain, but that price could be deemed low enough in all sorts of circumstances. The very high likelihood they'd get destroyed in return by our nuclear triad including manned bombers make the price including to the leaders much, much higher.
