First, there is no confirmation that was Chinese .. didn't they deny it? It could be a US demonstration with public cover. There probably are counter measures or detection measures unannounced too.
Second, first strike is one thing, but that doesn't prevent a sub launched trident retaliation from any of the 14 secretly positioned US subs, each with 20-24 trident vehicles capable of dropping at least 4 individually targeted warheads each. It would still be a mutually assured destruction scenario, so China would have to be MAD to launch it. Plus there are a number of land based missile sites that could remain functional enough for a counter strike.
nothing is as it seems.
