The problem with provoking China is they have the man power to simply flood a region with troops until they've got what they wanted. They don't need nuclear weapons.
We could nuke China to glass. And they know it. That's why they're going the capitalism route.

I'm pretty sure it'd be MAD. More likely is that China's ruling elite recognize that communist economic philosophy sucks donkey balls as far as feeding their population and elevating their standards of living. I'm thinking that they're more worried about internal revolution than war with the US.

OK, OK, capitulation would only take about 15 minutes, so sure...French first, then Pakistan, then Afghanistan. All agreed, now?
