I still don't think it's incredibly new. It's not a capability that the Chinese would not be able to develop - and then there's the fact that precisely for the reason of being at a disadvantage, they had the impetus to develop it quicker.

All in all, let's just hope that like all their other deterrents, it stays a deterrent.
