Do you have the info on the other four (at least) instances handy?There were at least five instances where the US was considering nuking China. One was after China exploded its first nuke where the US actually tried to make a deal with the Soviet Union that they both nuke China and they would split China in half where the US and Soviet Union would take one half for themselves to rule.
One was of course the Korean War . Then there the was incident that was brought in that article over the shelling of the Taiwanese islands. Then after China came up with the bomb that scared the US and the separate one with the Soviet Union I mentioned. The last one I think was during the Vietnam War when the US believed China was supplying the North Vietnamese.Do you have the info on the other four (at least) instances handy?
I think idea to nuke China's nuke facility was during the era of Dulles brothers. I read the story over decade ago but couldn't find its traces again.
I know the General Douglas MacArthur's idea in the Korean War and the NYT story on Taiwan. No idea on the other two (at least). Any supporting link that cover these nuke threats will be appreciated.

I agree. We might think rationally and logically and try to make decisions not based on emotions but other people might not. And don't forget the race and religioun factor. If a person thinks and really believes that he will go to heaven by killing non-believers all best are off.Unlike my peers here who attribute some level of rationality to the anglos, i actually believe the anglo elites are stupid enough to launch a first strike nuclear attack against China; these are ppl who honestly thought they could do a Japan on China simply because they look the same.
All that these anglo whites have is their white privilege and China's rise nullifies that; expecting a slaver to treat people as equals is tantamount to suicide. They'd much rather burn the world than acce[t human beings as equals.
Secondly, a lot of the generation in the anglos here have not lived through the cold war, hence their readiness to use nukes.

A very big difference between then and now is China now has means to respond in kind. That will at least throw a big wrench in their calculation.Unlike my peers here who attribute some level of rationality to the anglos, i actually believe the anglo elites are stupid enough to launch a first strike nuclear attack against China; these are ppl who honestly thought they could do a Japan on China simply because they look the same.

Let's hope China develops a working anti-ballistic missile laser defense system or EMP defense before the Americans. If the Americans do it first, it will be more incentive for them to launch a first strike. The Americans and Israelis are the only nuclear powers mental enough to launch a first strike. They are that insane!I agree. We might think rationally and logically and try to make decisions not based on emotions but other people might not. And don't forget the race and religioun factor.
