Warzone/The Drive: China Tested A Fractional Orbital Bombardment System That Uses A Hypersonic Glide Vehicle: Report
Such a capability could potentially allow China to execute a nuclear strike on any target on earth with near-impunity and very little warning.
A report from Financial Times' Demetri Sevastopulo and Kathrin Hille states that China has tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide vehicle that goes into space and traverses the globe in an orbital-like fashion before making its run through the atmosphere toward its target. There would be huge implications if such a system were to be operationalized, and according to this story, which says it talked to five officials confirming the test, the U.S. government was caught totally off-guard by it.

So how did U.S. intelligence miss this?
The events that lead to the Afghan disaster (and after) must have sucked in a lot of intel resources to the detriment of every other US intelligence operation. As a result no one was looking at what China was doing.
I also believe that during the Trump Presidency many leaders in the US intelligence community were more focused on President Trump and undermining him instead of watching America's adversaries and enemies. Need I remind everyone about this .... Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say (NYPost).
Then there is this point by BDW (see tweet below). He believes that prioritizing cultural changes in the US intel community over skills and abilities contributed to this intelligence failure.
If you’re wondering why America’s intelligence community is utterly shocked by China’s development of a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile, here’s your answer.pic.twitter.com/FfV3LvJKfR
