It’s not just her.
Almost all the people in that room were important in one game or another. They all knew it was going to happen eventually, even “soon”. But not a single one was prepared when the bombs dropped.
It makes sense someone beat them to the punch, and that someone has to be China. Unless some rouge vault like 4 that was already in place did something to start it to ensure their vault would “win”.
All they’d have to do is give China a heads up, they wouldn’t have to launch any nukes themselves

I'm fairly convinced that Cooper's 200 year long revenge that they mentioned in I think episode 6 or 7 or whatever is targeted towards his I assume ex-wife. Her being the one who suggested to launch the nukes likely destroyed the entire relationship and he decided not to go with her into one of the vaults. She likely did not have much control over the launch anymore at that point either and, being safe herself, ended up nuking him and her daughter basically.
