I don't think China should become a warmongering nation for various, obvious reasons. I think China should better focus on self-defense and not go around causing trouble no matter how strong its military is. Look what European colonialism led to, and look what the Bush/Obama Doctrine is leading to. If you succeed in conquering another nation, then you gain resources, but you lose morals. Destructive morals will gradually ruin any nation. Even then, the probability of conquest in today's world is slim, but the probability of wasting resources, ruining lives, and losing worldwide respect is high.
Anyhow, China's test was secretive. China did not and will not reveal the sophistication of the test. China probably shot down a simple ballistic missile on their own schedule from a known area.
In a real war, China's ABM still has to deal with decoys and multiple warheads, from the target missile, various types of maneuvers from the target missile and its package, jamming from various sources (weapons systems do work together as a team), attacks from various sources, and tracking target missiles from far away. I doubt China can effectively track missiles from all of India, Russia, Europe, Israel, and the US. China still has to build up layers of military defense against various threats at various ranges and altitudes to have a good anti-missile and anti-ballistic missile system. China is a long way from achieving this.
China's long term plan is to have trustworthy relations with Pakistan and India (as difficult as this may sound). China is working to have many cooperative war games with India and cooperative economic deals with India. I agree with China that its best defense against all threats is to build positive relations with other nations, and the military is only for self-defense.
I think China should have invited Indian leaders to talk about China's ABM. Don't reveal critical information, but let the Indians know China has zero interest in attacking India as long as India does not attack China. India does have legitimate reasons to dislike China's ABM, and China needs to properly address those issues with India. Otherwise, China is acting scary to India.
It's like firearms for self-defense. Firearms are only for the real bad guys. Otherwise, solve neighborhood problems in a positive manner. If your neighbor's dog digs up your lawn, then you wave your shotgun in your neighbor's face, then you're greatly overreacting and you have a high probability of making things worse.
