If it does not move faster than the speed of light. The laser will stop it.
The Chinese are ready to fight a 20th century war. (with the exception of their extraordinary cyber warfare capabilities) The West has mastered 21st Century combined arms warfare beyond any level that the East will reach for the fore-seeable future. And let us not forget, the west created the computer! The "old wise men" of the West would have never let Pandora out of the box if they did not know something we don't about the type of control they possess in regards to cyber dominance.

You already said it, they own our ass in Cyberspace. The problem is, anything and everything we have is tied into the net. They can manipulate the data we see to make us think that we're ready or winning the war. Example of this, we have an online system called IMDS that we track all kinds of maintenance in (aircraft, comm system, almost anything and everything you can think of that is maintenance related), they can go into that system and manipulate the data to make use think that we have our whole F15 fleet red tagged (aka broke). Until you can verify that you know which planes are good, none of them will be flying. We know that they have infilitrated the DoD network that they can flip the switch and completely cut off our forces online, everything in Western Pacific can be cut off from the rest of the US forces and be completely blind.
