A missile that can take down a satellite(A relatively predictable and somewhat stationary target.) is not necessarily something that can take down another missile. I think that's a wrong link to draw, if anything, the anti-satellite missile is waving The Finger at the US.
See, the latest generation of US ICBM's(If I remember right) tends to use GPS guidance rather than radio guidance, meaning that if the PRC can take down GPS satellites, US ICBM's would be hurting for proper guidance in a nuclear stand-off or war.
I agree, however, that China likely had more clout with North Korea than the US. If anything, North Korea would never want to back down from the Imperialists.
