Umm, sorry to u pplz and this is no intention of starting a flame war, but im getting tired of goign aroudn places seeing stuff about china being powerful and crap, they may hav some technology, but in a war, they'd lose so unbelievably fast. Im not racist, so dont call me that. I just dont like that china is put out to be some powerful country. Personally Britain for the effing win

So if someone was to shoot a bomb at Brit, brit would shoot one back. That goes for everyone, Nuc is a last resort! Going to arm to arm warfare, Brit would be one of the top leaders." USA weren't losing to Japan at all... it was at the end of the war when Germany had already surrendered. The nuke was a finishing move if you will. Britain is strong because of its allies. TBH if it was left on its own, Britain wouldn't stand a chance against China. Also, I don't think a country would just shoot ONE nuke xD.

It would take several large-scale nuclear detonations in a short period of time to start a nuclear winter. It would just be easier to kill off the human population with a bioweapon or a chemical agent.

Yeah this is what I mean, Americans were dying quickly when they started island hoping.

A nuclear winter =/= the end of humanity. Anyway, an actual nuclear war would be widespread across a land mass. Firing all of your warheads into one place is pointless. Instead of concentrating all of nuclear weapons to detonate at one place (Washington DC, for example), they would detonate across the continent (for maximum casualties). A nuclear winter just isn't likely unless it takes multiple bombings to kill off the population. And OP, blame that on ethnocentrism. This site is full of stupid, 13 year old Asian boys who think that racism can only be existent in disparaging remarks.

China is powerful indeed. They have the largest population on earth, their army is endless if they want it to be. The economy isn't the worst, infact it would be really hard for China to go under a recession or a depression. They are importing and exporting things 24/7. I would think 30%+ of the worlds resources come China. Or, China provides the most resources throughout the whole entire world compared to any other country. However, Britain is on a shortage in the army, i see adverts trying to promote soldiers all the time. Britain wouldn't win if they stand alone. They have powerful allies such as the U.S. and it's more terrifying because the U.S. signed a treaty with Russia which would obviously bring down China easily. Please not that i am British, a Chinese British.

Hand every person a gun in China, teach them how to use it, and as long as they kill on a 1:1 ratio, the rest of the world is screwed because of the rate of reproduction.

That's why there is the "made in China" not "made in Europe" sign
