Unlike China's older silo-based strategic missiles, which would have been relatively easy to destroy before launch, the DF-31 can be concealed on the back of a lorry.
The silo-based DF-31 has a reported accuracy of 100m CEP, which is sufficient to destroy hardened missile silos if equipped with one of the higher yield MIRV warheads.
Business today is far too complex for individuals to make decisions alone, or based solely on the information and perspective of their particular silo.
