China making "Dramatic advances" in development of HYPERSONIC WEAPONS. China is making "Dramatic advances" in its hypersonic missile program, turning these next-generation weapons into missiles that fly so fast that no American defenses can stop them. The U.S. Department of Defense has warned in its latest report to Congress that China may already have "The world's leading hypersonic arsenal." While the U.S. is making progress in developing its fleet of hypersonic weapons, efforts to create systems that can defend against Chinese hypersonic capabilities are not keeping pace with Beijing's advances. In addition to their high speeds, the People's Liberation Army's developments in hypersonic glide vehicles, which can maneuver through the upper atmosphere after an initial ballistic launch phase, make China's hypersonic weapons near-impossible to track, let alone intercept. The Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency is investing in developing interceptors that can destroy adversarial hypersonic weapons. The goal of the program is to develop interceptors that can destroy hypersonic weapons while they are being transported by hypersonic glide vehicles and before they can begin their complex maneuvering into their terminal phases. 80% of new leading research in advanced technological fields COMES FROM CHINA. Chinese scientists build hypersonic generator capable of powering a range of high-tech weapons. China may have already deployed unstoppable hypersonic missiles capable of targeting American bases in the Pacific.
