Don't mind us, just testing our hypersonic missiles by flying it across Taiwan:

Even before the main stage of the exercise kicked off on Thursday, Global Times called them “unprecedented,” adding that Chinese missiles were expected to “fly over the island of Taiwan for the first time.” People's Liberation Army (PLA) forces are also expected to enter the area within 12 nautical miles of the island, and could potentially surround the island “entirely,” it added, citing military “experts.”

    "Yes, because if China has hypersonic missiles, then we have had it for 15+ years but its just super super classified" - every reddit thread mentioning hypersonic missiles.

      Everytime I see this claim I like to counter that China has allegedly hacked super top secret files like the schematics to the F-35, so how can anyone assume China doesn't know about America's secret weapons?

      Very entertaining to watch them realize that they can't answer this question without either admitting that China didn't copy the F-35 or invent some sort of super duper top secret clearance bullshit.

      The average American lib is convinced the MIC already has space lasers and tungsten rod doomsday devices prepped and ready to go ... because it was in a Call of Duty game. Sometimes they'll even point to cutscenes from the game as proof they're real.

      Point out there's literally no evidence these weapons exist and they respond "well of course they're not gonna let us know about it until we need to use it."

      Absolute brain worms.

        Magical thinking induced by the half-unconscious white supremacist ideas that underpins the evil empire. If evil non-whites have advanced weapons that must surely mean that the far more skilled, intelligent and industrious white good guys are going to have something even more advanced.

        And besides, what would all those money poured into the MIC be going to anyways? Grifts and corruption? Please, be real for a moment, corruption is something they have in non-white countries. No, the only logical explanation is that the money went to building secret invisible sci-fi weapons that are totally real.
