the fallout which would first (and mostly) fall on China

A lot of what falls on China also crosses the Pacific to Alaska.

May I ask when you people were born?

Are you aware that nuclear weapons
as powerful as those in Pakistan's and Indian's arsenal
were tested in New Mexico??

Sure, usually one at a time. Siberia was also thoroughly bombed. Not 200 all at once, that would spike the Geiger counters considerably downwind.

And may I ask how much you know about nuclear physics?

Did you know that radiation from Chernobyl reached the US? Sure, it wasn't much, but there was some.

OTOH, I'm not the one who brought up Alaska: I think Alaska probably wouldn't get too much radiation. The rad count wouldn't be much more than a particularly fierce solar storm, IMO. But, unless and until there is a nuclear exchange, it is impossible to say for sure what the results would be: there has never been more than one nuke set off at a time.

It appears possible that India and Pakistan will oblige us in providing a test bed for this experiment.
