The number of China’s nuclear-armed missiles capable of hitting the United States is expected to expand to well over 100 within the next 15 years, the report said. According to NASIC, the DF-31A has a range of more than 6,800 miles. The CSS-4 has a range of more than 7,500 miles. Both carry a single nuclear warhead. The DF-31A test was the fourth known flight test of the missile and came about a year after the last DF-31A flight test on July 24, 2013.

It's their tech. As far as i'm concerned, they can do whatever they want with it, providing they don't use it for combat purposes.

Watched a lot of Sci-Fi movies in my youth - a lot based on the ChiCom threat. Yes China does have probably have capability to hit the US but why 1) hit your biggest export market 2) Damage where your investments are held ?
Id call that an own goal

Good point. However, if the BRICS successfully set up their own currency as they are trying to do will China even need the US for investment anymore? As I understand it the BRICS are moving to drop FIAT currency in favor of currency based on the Gold Standard.
