Abstract
China conducted a successful ballistic missile defense (BMD) test in
2010 and again in January 2013 and is at least keeping the option
open to deploy BMD. But it is unclear which way Beijing may go.
This becomes a more urgent issue for consideration as China
continues its military and economic rise and faces the upcoming
Indian deployment of Agni-5 ballistic missiles.
FAS will assess the possible incentives and disincentives that China
may have to deploy some version of its recently tested missile
defense system, the weight China may attach to these factors, how
that would affect China’s security policy, and possible security
implications for the United States.
