Don't confuse the SM-3 with whatever the USAF is calling its thing today.

Absolutely, which is why it's a good thing the US has many more ABMs than China has DF-21Ds.

They don't need to have more warheads, they just need to have more decoys and countermeasures than we have warheads.

As far as I know the DF-21D doesn't have decoys. It doesn't have a MIRV bus, so they won't be easy to add, either.
