CHAPTER 22
The Chinese Puzzle
The first [false assumption] is that China is an enemy of the
United States. It's not.

ON AUGUST 11, 2014, in the Atlantic Ocean, an event took place
of enormous concern to U.S. intelligence. A Chinese Jin-class
submarine launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile
released twelve independently targeted reentry vehicles, each simu-
lating a nuclear warhead. Some forty-four hundred miles away, in
China's test range in the Xinjiang desert, each of the twelve simu-
lated nuclear warheads hit its target within a twelve-inch radius.

The test firing, which was closely monitored by the NSA, was a
strategic game changer. It meant that a single Jin-class submarine,
which carried twelve such missiles and 144 nuclear warheads, could
destroy every city of strategic importance in the United States. U.S.
intelligence further reported that China would soon use stealth
technology to make it more difficult to detect newer submarines and
give "China its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent" against an
American attack.
