I'm not advocating that every country obtain nuclear weapons; obviously it would be best if no country had them. But, realisitically, if China faces an opposing regional power with nuclear weapons, it is bound to step far more carefully than if it has nuclear supremacy over all regions south/east of them.

I don't get why you think that IF China's competitors in the region had nukes THEN China would certainly use them? This makes no sense...
OMG! We agree Agamemnon!
