For China, 3500 or so kms of range is more than enough. Range is always a factor of payload. As the range issues you discussed are logical, I think the better question to ask is, what are the Indians planning on putting on top of those China bound ICBMs that is so much heavier?

The Agni-3 can do 4,500 km range and carry a max. payload weight of 2490 kg.
