| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE UNITED STATES' GLOBAL missile defense system is a far more serious problem for the national security of the People's Republic of China than for Russia, as China's nuclear missile capability is much weaker than Russia's and has lower survivability. Indeed, given that the US and its allies are not particularly secretive about their intentions to form a united front against China, which they claim is challenging the whole Western world - China can't help but cast a wary eye on the plans of bringing US military structures close to its borders. |
