The DF-31 is a lot smaller than MX Peacekeeper.

Yes, I understand that the new "Ping-Pong 3000, Dual Laser Chinese Missile with Mud flaps", is just going to blow America all to HELL!...

I was a "Missileman" before I left the service, and just like the "Missile Defense Shield", I learned it's all very difficult. If it isn't sand in the Middle East, it will be Monsoon rains in China. I don't mean to mock these ideas, they sound good on paper, but they have serious problems in deployment. Even under ideal, peacetime conditions. And the Chinese are only as smart as our latest traitor.

Well we'll have to see. I don't think the Chinese have to reach strategic parity with us to make us act as if they have.
