The DF-41 is designed to have a range of 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles), according to a report by Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems, putting it among the world's longest-range missiles/ ... It is "possibly capable of carrying multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles", the U.S. Defense Department said in a report in June, referring to a payload of several nuclear warheads. It also quoted a Chinese military analyst as saying: "As the U.S. continues to strengthen its missile defense system, developing third generation nuclear weapons capable of carrying multiple warheads is the trend." China's previous longest range missile was the DF-5A, which can carry a single warhead as far as 12,000 km, according to Jane's.

I know when it comes to ICBMs the name of the game is Mutually Assured Destruction, but with China having no navy to speak of and the US literally at their mailbox; would they even be able to launch a missile past their territorial waters before the US obliterates all of their coastal cities.

Eh, who knows maybe this isn't even a motion in either direction to the US.
