After a bombshell Financial Times report that China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August which circled the planet before zoning in on its target, Republican Representative Mike Gallagher — a member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee — said that this news should serve as a “call to action.”
“This test should serve as a call to action. If we stick to our current complacent course — or place our hopes in bankrupt buzzwords like “integrated deterrence” — we will lose the New Cold War with Communist China within the decade,” Rep. Gallagher said in a statement. “The People’s Liberation Army now has an increasingly credible capability to undermine our missile defenses and threaten the American homeland with both conventional and nuclear strikes. Even more disturbing is the fact that American technology has contributed to the PLA’s hypersonic missile program.”
“We know from a recent Washington Post report that Phytium uses US-derived technology to power a military supercomputer that models hypersonic flight. While the Biden administration rightly placed Phytium on the Commerce Department’s Entity List, it has not applied the Foreign Direct Product Rule that was successfully used to counter Huawei. As a result, US-derived technology produced by TSMC still enables Phytium’s malign work. This needs to change,” Rep. Gallagher continued. “Phytium is just the beginning. The US government has long failed to apply maximum pressure against the Chinese Communist Party’s Military-Civil Fusion strategy. With our homeland now exposed, in part, by advanced technology derived from Military-Civil Fusion, we need to aggressively decouple from anything associated with Military-Civil Fusion. We must end joint ventures, investments, and research collaborations that involve areas associated with Military-Civil Fusion. We also need to stop the flow of Wall Street capital into Chinese tech.”
“American entities have a clear choice: they can side with our country, or they can side with the genocidal communist regime that now threatens our cities. They can’t do both. It is time to choose,” Rep. Gallagher concluded.

“Five people familiar with the test said the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target,” the Financial Times first reported. “The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles, according to three people briefed on the intelligence. But two said the test showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realized.”
“far more advanced than US officials realized.”
Perhaps the Intelligence agencies should do their jobs, quit trying to persecute and spy on Americans, and on Trump for the Democrats.
Priorities, kitt. Priorities. First, they have to consolidate absolute totalitarian power and get their PRC-bucks.
What a time to have an idiot on the PRC payroll ostensibly in charge of the country. If only we had a LEADER that put this country first… like we had.
Missiles have been “hypersonic” since the late 1950s. China has had ICBMs that could reach most points in the US since 1985.
China successfully landed a rover on Mars this past February. The WW2-era German V-2 was hypersonic. It could reach a maximum speed of over 3500 mph. It arrived at its target before you could hear it coming.
You should really pay more attention to the news.

Wow Greggie that makes this all seem like the Biden admin government officials are super ignorant!
I’m not the one who’s freaking out about a Chinese “hypersonic” missile test.
US intelligence failed
The US Should Not Assume It Has the Luxury of Time in Its Confrontation With China

We are at our weakest military presence since obama and carter
The entire biden regime is compromised by the CCP
hillary clinton gave China hypersonic technology through Russia
biden conceivably could surrender to the CCP
An ICBM can reach speeds of 15,000 mph. China has had such missiles since at least 1985. They move almost as fast the latest hysterical right-wing propaganda meme.
People have been pointing out for YEARS that our fixation on the Middle East has been a distraction from geopolitical issues involving China and Russia. Suddenly you realize? And now you think you’ve made an astonishing new discovery?
biden can not solve a supply chain snafu. How is the advanced dementia riddled biden going to defend America?
democrat treason with the CCP goes back to bill clinton and his campaign donations from the CCP. Loral assisted China in development of guidance systems in the 1990’s.
How the Clintons Sold Out U.S. National Interests to the Putin Regime
America is weak with dementia joe. China sees an opportunity to make a move. joe will go to Delaware.
Milley and the rest of our senior military “leadership” will get right on it, after they are done purging our military of thousands of its members and ensuring the rest are fully “trained” in Marxist ideology. Priorities you know. And right now those aren’t about fighting and winning wars but rather making our military loyal to the Party as opposed to the country..
Purge the military of warriors who would die for the cause of liberty in lieu of the transgendered pussy who would surrender like biden
Gee, it’s almost as if they are working for the other side. The Reds stick together, at least until they turn on each other.
