Indeed. If the CCP holds its perpetual hold on power as its highest value, as I believe, then there are two ways that can be threatened: internal revolt and external attack that causes the former. They have obviously elevated nuclear to something well beyond what it was in 2012 say. High value now.

If you were in the room for their deliberations and IC briefings, as I was, then you might have a bit more appreciation for the fact that disparate viewpoints came together. Again, look at what SPC said: "tailored..." that means treating both separate / unique. They do have things in common though.

Nuclear forces are tools of keeping the CCP in control - thus, highly valued. The Strategic Posture Commission reviewed the intelligence on this topic and came to this unanimous bipartisan conclusion.
