I think it's safe to say that a new carrier-killing missile, regardless of how well it works, must be put into a context in which neither the United States or China have much to gain from either a new cold war or a hot war. The Chinese, being students of history, clearly have concluded that a) peace is better than war, and b) maintaining the peace requires multiple methods and assets.

Eddie, did you not see the emotocon? It was ment as a joke.

The idea is not unplausible, and the concept of simultainious ideas is pretty damn common. The whole China is pretty obvious as they are the rising player attempting to take Ivans place in the world stage so they fit the bill as a good antagonist, coupled with some of their actions and expansions the last two decades. Its almost a natural conclusion for folks with an idea of history which this group has in spades. Heck, a glaring example is the whole remake of Red Dawn with the Chicoms replacing Ivan.
