Start a nuclear program AND a serious ELINT program.
When the Reds do drills, track where their high-level comms are going to/coming from. Reconnoiter with HUMINT. You might well find Xi’s and the ChiCom leadership’s hidey-holes. If the balloon goes up, aim all the nukes there.
Maybe we can use Hong Kong as a proxie launch site like how China uses North Korea for Nuke testing...( /sarc)
