Z,
I don't see how Indian ABMs would be a challenge for Chinese SLBMs. Since the Chinese can choose their launch sites at will and at the last minute, Indian ABMs would be physically out of orientation to provide intercept. The short reaction time would make it near impossible for the Indians to re-orient their interceptors.
