Seems legit
Concerning strong ties between many European states and Gulf Arab monarchies IRL, this situation might be much less absurd than it seems.
To OP, another enjoyable update, keep them coming!
What is the domestic situation in the US, the USSR, Europe? What aid can the Soviets give the Chinese?
US: Martial law in the American southern states, intense paranoia elsewhere in the county, economy seems to be doing okay, no rationing, occasional brown outs, draft is steadily being expanded and civil defence drills are a daily occurrence, red flu is still uncommon but death is rare. Civil unrest is a common theme near African American population centres
USSR: the state is all encompassing, there is rationing and policing is heavy handed and minor infractions are dealt with reductions in pay or cut in food rations, defeatism results in deportation to reeducation and heavy work duty. Rationing is universal and steadily reducing the amount of calories, however it is a decent daily ration. Brown outs are some what common, black outs when a bombing raid is going on. Personality cult is slowly kicking up a gear as Andropov consolidates his power. Red flu is still uncommon, but its not as lethal. This is more or less the same across the Eastern European Pact.
Western Europe: the new socialist states remain in power out of the military occupation of the Eastern European members. Attempts are made to encourage collaboration via increased rations, less menial work or being able to keep individual private property instead of handing it over to the socialisation committees. Rationing is universal, subsistence rations are slowly being raised as Western European agriculture gets back into action. Minor anti government comments are over looked, but sustained defeatism or anti government action can lead to deportation and reeducation, passive resistance to the state is common and productivity is very low, collaboration with the resistance is a capital offence. Red flu deaths spiked in the year after the Soviet invasion, while conditions slowly improve the death rate is declining fast, but it is still lower than Eastern Europe. Cancers have spiked as the radioactive legacy of the nuclear exchanges have seeped into society. Air raids by the RAF are a fairly common event.
China is a basket case (both in game and in the narrative), it never industrialised to a large degree, Korean maintains an industrial base twice as large as China. The Chinese communist party is split between the Maoists who are devotees of the now deceased Mao Zedong thought that held China's lack of progress on Soviet lack of support as well as Soviet imperialist motives of frustrating and sabotaging Chinese efforts to advance as it might challenge Soviet hegemony over the Socialist world. Opposing then was Lin Biao thought which held that China needed to work with the USSR and adopt gradualist five year plans to rise China from its feudal stupor, reactionaries and the Kuomintang rebels undermined the Chinese path to socialism. The problems erupted when the war broke out, Mao saw the chance for autonomy he desperately sought to enact his radical policies. Attempting to push revolutionary economics and social policy on a country at war and in the throes of a plague unseen in living memory brought the nation to collapse, over the next couple years factional fighting was common, especially after Mao's death 5 coups happened in China between 1976-1978, gun battles weren't unheard of in Beijing when the crisis reached its peak. However with the vast bulk of the PLA devoted to the war effort and the domestic crisis of the flu prevented out right civil war. The final coup which the KGB orchestrated put Deng in power, a follower of the dead Biao who affirmed loyalty to Moscow and sought to sort the country out. Soviet aid is largely health provision in an attempt to steam the raging flu outbreaks on the South Coast and along the Yangtze were the thousands die daily to its effects. There is some food aid, with a large sweep of China on the brink of starvation, however the ecological collapse in the Soviet Central Asia has decimated much of Soviet surplus agricultural surplus. However Moscow has released some PLA divisions and the Vietnamese army to help quell the growing nationalist insurgency.
I have no idea why, but socially Conservative Thatchers Britain has Aneurin Bevan has head of state.......

A proposal regarding Agriculture and Food Production during the duration of the war:
1. Collective farms may sell/trade excess crops to other businesses/groups.
2. Citizens who grow vegetables/fruits in personal kitchen gardens may sell/trade excess crops.
3. The Virgin Lands program should be abandoned and the lands converted back to pasture/natural lands.
