Well, we all know this is a result of Clinton's lax technology transfer enforcement.
FOBS technology is some 35 years old now, and would allow plenty of time for an interception. In that regards it's a hollow threat, as well the accuracy is diminished.

The Chinese nuclear weapons program begun in the late 1950s was part of the Liǎngdàn Yīxīng (Two Bombs, One Satellite) initiative devised to transform China into not only a nuclear weapons state in response to Mao Zedong's position that the US was threatening the People's Republic of China with nuclear blackmail but also a spacefaring country. The renowned Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen, who was deported to his homeland by the US government in the early 1950s during the time of McCarthyism, but also Yao Tongbin, not only took part in designing the first Chinese nuclear weapons but also were involved in design of China's first nuclear-armed ballistic missile, the Dongfeng-2 (DF-2; DoD designation CSS-2) and the first Chinese spacecraft, the Dong Fang Hong 1 (which beamed back from orbit a Chinese propaganda song of the same name).
