For the SR-71, Lockheed used fuel to cool the skin during Mach flight. For the F-35, Lockheed used fuel instead of standard hydraulics fluid to powers the flight controls actuators. These are elegant but unseen innovations to solve problems. So for this Chinese missile, can you enlighten us on what made this Chinese missile more technically advanced than what the US have today? Please stick to technical issues, if you can.
That's the top secret and out of the range you retired man could understand.
China national natural science award 2013 told us: new multiple china-base coating working at ≥1250℃ and beyond 8YSZ.
Go google it, old sniffer.
Because the US withdrew from the ABM Treaty.
A treaty is like a business contract. I will do 'X' if you will do 'Y' and we agree to continue this relationship for 'Z' length of time. A violation of a treaty does not mean one side withdrew from the contract. If a storm delayed my trucks and I failed to supply you with your purchases, that is a violation of the contract, albeit an understandable one that we both agree to be no big deal. If I decide to withdraw from the contract, that mean I absolve you of all responsibilities that you have for me, and vice versa. We owe nothing to each other.
Here are the relevants links to that ABM Treaty...

TREATIES AND AGREEMENTS
Here is another example...
Treaty between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on Strategic Offensive Reductions (START I) | Treaties & Regimes | NTI
Look at the time signed, the duration, and the signatories. Just because the Soviet Union collapsed, that does not mean the proliferation of nuclear missiles is a good thing so if enough nuclear weapons states agreed, the treaty with the old Soviet Union can be inherited by Russia and new members admitted. The contract basically said the duration would be a minimum of 15 yrs of obedience by all parties and at the end of that time, the contract could be extended in 5 yrs increment. The contract could say that if one signatory decided to withdraw early or decline to extend, the contract would be dissolved. Or if all remaining parties agree, a new contract could be drawn up. Or the old contract carried over and amended.
But to get back to the main topic, the idea that somehow the DF-21D or this new maneuvering vehicle is somehow 'beyond' the technological capability of the US is just simply absurd based upon the simple minded reasoning that since the US does not have an equivalent, the US is 'behind' China. The reason the US does not have a deployed equivalent is because the US is currently bound by treaties with Russia and the details of them are considerable on what all sides could do.
The reason is: US's rotten pockets.
