Can a ballistic Missile hit a moving target?

An ICBM of course would probably have some trouble slowing down enough
so
that the plasma on its nose doesn't block the radar... but an IRBM
being
capable of tracking something should hardly be news, the Pershing II
had a
guidance radar to match terrain already. Being able to track moving
targets shouldn't be very hard four decades later, should it? ;-)
I would hope the US military is not as racist as you in thinking the
Chinese are of inferior intelligence/capability.
