Once an fixed-placement underwater device is no longer passive it gives away its location becoming a one-time use device if the area is being monitored. If you link these with physical devices, say with fiber-optic network, the infrastructure both gives away the locations and is open to being fed false signals.

I'd suggest to you that China is quite late to the game of installing a "detection wall" on the ocean-floor, as they are in most areas, but catching up is much faster than invention. Even when I was in college in 1973 one of my chemistry professors, George C. Pimentel specialized in changing laser color to a blue-green frequency which could be transmitted for a long distance under water.

Every year Pimentel expected a Nobel Prize, knowing full well on some level that they were never going to give out a Nobel for defense related work. He died at the age of 67 in 1989, en.wikipedia.org mercifully as I don't think he could have tolerated feeling slighted for much longer.

Both America and China have tested anti-satellite weapons. But they're a huge problem to everyone - simply because each satellite being tracked would become an ever expanding debris field of hundreds of pieces to track in order to successfully operate in orbit around the Earth.

As a result, in 2014, President Obama began a wonderful new program to develop methods to clear satellites from orbit without the mess associated with fragmenting them. This in time should lead to a satellite treaty with China regarding satellite tampering.

A theoretical quantum radar detection system could in theory be countered by generating a reverse quantum field information rendering something invisible to a quantum detector. Quantum particle entanglement apparently exists as predicted, but it's not something I can explain to myself - possibly something about gravity being a force emitted from a fourth dimension. Once we know more it will likely be easier to understand.

As for fixed-placement undersea mechanical items, such as missiles, the reliability of deep water unmanned systems - say in oil drilling - does not testify to their long-term durability.
