Missile missed target by couple of dozen miles, but people familiar with the test say China demonstrated a stunning capability that nobody thought they already had mastered.

Shows more about China’s fear of the US ABM capability and threat of first strike. Chance of China striking the US first with nuclear bombs still very, very small.

Seriously, while yes they have the technology does anyone in the sane mind ever think any country is actually going to use nuclear weapons? It literally would be the end of the world. I don't get why we obsess about nuclear weapons.

No other country has their own space station except for China. I think they are in higher orbit than people think
