Without using Nukes, how good is China's ballistic missile deterrent?

We're all seeing that Israel has vastly underestimated Iran's ballistic missile technology. Even though they have devastated quite a large portion of Iran's military infrastructure, there are still many of Iran's missiles making it through the iron dome into Tel Aviv and other cities.

I'm aware that China has massive capability with missile technology. I'm just wondering on what scale? Last I checked the fastest is the DongFeng-41 which can travel at something like Mach 25 - which is insane. Is China's deterrent to simply have hundreds of these "aircraft carrier killers" hidden in mountain silos? Or is there other missile technology being developed?


thanks.

Any suggestions on where to learn some Chinese?

I'll be going there in winter so I'd like to learn some of the language before then, and possibly continue it past that. Any apps or websites that are recommended?
