Seems Like Normal Military Business
I'm sure this sort of thing is perfectly normal. It's normal in that I would actually be surprised if any country of China's size and development didn't have some sort of 'plan' in place as described in the news article. I'm sure the U.S. has many for them and others also. It is surprising it was picked up in the casual way that it was; perhaps showing that it wasn't much to even keep secret. It does have a flaw though. As Figdor alluded, the American public is only "sensitive" about casualties when the reasons and cause for fighting are debatable. A full-fledged attack would put an end to a vast majority of these sensitivities.
