There's also India vs Pakistan, probably with help from China. If China helps Pakistan, the US may help India. Which may lead China to launch against the US and vice versa. And of course the Indians and Pakistanis will also use their nukes. There's also a good chance the Russians will go to India's aid, leaving the Chinese to launch against Russia.

And then they see the US sitting pretty, and launch against the US (if they can) to put the US out of the conflict.

Or, Taiwan sees the chance to become independent and, with the help of the US and others, try to throw off their Chinese opponents. Then, you have the Chinese fighting three opponents -- and they basically expend all their remaining nukes on everyone they even think is an enemy. And those enemies who received Chinese nukes shoot back....and the world goes down in flames.
