Yes, but historically there's also a very large risk of those 30 million extra men ending up at war against their own government. Which will be doubly "interesting times" since we haven't seen a nuclear power fight a civil war before.
The closest we’ve seen is during the dissolution of the USSR, and that got pretty ugly especially in Russia. China is the only nation on earth that I could imagine nuking their own population in a civil war.
Depending on how you define "their own", I think the Indians also might. The divide between north and south indians seems similar to the one between the various chinese ethnicities.
