China’s Hypersonic Missile Test Is Another Obvious Warning Sign…

China is investing heavily in this capability, feverishly building new ships and developing new technology. It has massive stockpiles of cruise missiles, most of which have larger payloads and longer range than comparable US weaponry. This week’s hypersonic missile launch is merely the latest proof; it’s technology that the US cannot counteract either, given that hypersonic missiles are more likely to be able to evade missile defense systems. The Chinese wasted no time gloating their achievement, calling the launch “a new blow to the US’s mentality of strategic superiority. . .” You’d think this would be a massive wake-up call to the US federal government. The balance of power is shifting right in front of their very eyes.
