The US has for decades operated under the understanding that neither it nor its adversaries would use ICBMs to deliver non-nuclear payloads because they would be indistinguishable from a first-use nuclear strike*, which would mean their use would risk a nuclear response even before they hit.
- However, there is a growing school of thought that China may disagree with this doctrinally, and may not bind itself by the same restriction.
- *clearly this statement can be interrogated

- Resolves NA if there is no war between China and the US before 2040.
- Resolves YES if China uses Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles to strike the continental US or Hawaii (not US Territories), and those missiles deliver non-nuclear payloads.
