Well, every country has its nuclear missiles targeting its potential nuclear attackers. For China, India is not its primary concerns. whatever India's intention is with its nuclear missile is not in China's control. India can build up its nuclear arsenal trying to race with China all it wants. It doesn't mean China has to do the same. As long as MAD exists, there is no need to race. Once someone said that the usefulness of a nuclear weapon is only when it is still on the lunch pad, not after.
The dynamics of MAD demand equilibrium in quality and quantity. Offensively decoyed MIRVs and defensively BMDs and ASATs demand the same end effect from the adversaries. MAD is an escalating race constrained by economic necessities.
