How would a war solve their food crisis?

Let's imagine that the Dam is going to blow, and take out 500 million people. The rest of the people, left alive, are going to be pretty upset with the current government that allowed such a catastrophe. So, just prior to the dam blowing, or shortly thereafter, the Chinese lob a nuke into the area, and blame it on the US. The CCP will go down into their hardened bunkers, all prepared to ride out a nuke war for several years, and the peasants who are still living are not mad at the government, but rather at the US for having "nuked" them at their moment of crisis. That's one way I could see a war happening.

By giving their people someone to kill besides the local government. Using war to take the pressure off of the local government is as old as government itself
