If all out war breaks out between two nuclear powers I don’t think 155mm production/stockpiles are going to be quite as impactful as these folks say.
A lot of these screeching hawks are the same who were warning about the capabilities of Russia. China is still well behind technologically, and is also highly dependent on key imports for a lot of military components.

Traditional war will occur right up to the point where one of the two sides begins to lose particularly badly and throws down the nuclear card as a fail safe. The nuclear card would not be thrown in the beginning in a war between two major powers, that would only happen early on in a situation where eg Iran had nukes and got into a war with the US (weaker power vs superpower, early nuke card).
- dcow 3y agoWhat do you think the US will reach for if it cant make ordinary supplies? The nukes. We don’t want that. And even if we did who says China can’t shoot our nukes down? All our eggs in the nukes basket is not a good strategy. It doesn't work in Civ either fwiw.
