The Chinese government made a statement last year about MAD. It basically boiled down to their population being so large and spread out so far across china that they would still have a large enough population base to continue on past past the Armageddon to rebuild while everywhere else would suffer a lot higher casualty rates because a lot of the developed world is concentrated in large cities.
IIRC one of the main reasons MAD was a threat to the Russians was because they're populated centres are mostly in one area of the country.
Its all saber rattling regardless I guess, as china develops they'll be more so concentrated in cities like everyone else.
