China flexed its military muscle Monday evening in the skies west of Los Angeles when a Chinese Navy Jin class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, deployed secretly from its underground home base on the south coast of Hainan island, launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from international waters off the southern California coast
If it was...making the assumption...why would they launch it out to sea, towards Asia?
That seems slightly psychotic.
We print extra 500 billion, the Chinese not happy, so fire off a missle in international waters out over Pacific to send a warning that we need not to do as we please anymore....................

Fired towards their own country? Seems like the easier thing to do it drop 10% of their dollar holdings, if they wanted a real warning. Rather then give the US a reason to stop honoring their dollar holdings to China by declaring a state of war.
It would actually benefit the US if China made overt aggressive violent moves towards us, because the UN would back us against them since we are not the aggressor. We could stop our honoring of them, absolving ourselves of that obligation, overnight if they attacked us.
If this missile was launched in the 80s, it would have been a Russian missile. The 70s, it would have been a Vietnamese missile, and the 60s it would have been a Cuban missile.
