I dont know, this sounds like a bonehead move to me. Well be able to see the tracks from space, so well know where the missiles will be anyway. If they were smart they would invest in air and sea launched Nuclear cruise missiles.

Perhaps the USA is not the primary intended target. We're one of their best customers [choke].

Sure we can deter them and they can deter us, like we did with the USSR during the cold war. I don't believe they are fool enough to try anything. Mutual assured destruction and containment. Nerve-wracking, but we can deal with it.

A more likely scenario is quietly blackmailing Taiwan without proclaiming to the world what they are doing.

Another possibility is is deterrance and containment of Russia by China, also quietly.

Furthermore what about India? They could annihilate India and India could not annihilate them back. Likewise Pakistan.

Soon India should have missiles that can reach almost all of China, but let's remember that the Chinese aren't the maniacs that come out of the woodwork in the Islamic world. If they don't gain anything by nuking another country, even with impunity, they won't do it.
