It would be a good satire of capitalist "human nature" arguments and American individualism

Kind of already happened. It's 90s levels of racism, but the crew of the Shi Huang Di qin-shi-huangdi-fireball crashed in San Fran after the war and used the nuclear reactor and AI computer from their sub to build a nation in the ruins. 200 years later they're a high-tech powerhouse. They're also a kinda racist "what if Shaw Brother's Kung Fu movies were real and also plasma guns"?

But canonically, the Chinese just kind of shrugged at the nuclear war and immediately re-built a prosperous high-tech society while everyone else was fucking around eating geckos and throwing sharp sticks at each other.
