Because they don't have time. China has a demographics bomb that is coming due this decade. They have way more old people than young people. And grandpa is not storming any beaches in a few years time.

I thought,that they created CV19 to kill their grandpas.And even if not,they could made another virus for that goal,right?

By that logic, the Philippines should also be a future Chinese enemy and South Korea and Vietnam both future Chinese allies. The Philippines is an island like Japan is while South Korea and Vietnam are both continental powers like China is, after all.

I've seen the future...
Let’s hope China collapses before we have to do WW3. Because a Real Life version of the Fallout timeline would suck even worse then the canon one.

I concur. Unfortunately, it's often the trend for authoritarian regimes to lash out when they may be staring down their own internal collapse.

It would be in Xi's interests not to make rash decisions....however China has now basically reverted back to the good old days (cough) of Mao, with Xi as the focus of the new cult of personality, and the Chinese are in spite of various internal problems (IE, a LOT), arming up. Xi in fact has made a number of rather questionable decisions lately, unfortunately Xi is now surrounded by Yes Men and few if any impediments to whatever decrees he wishes to make. This never ends well.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. We should hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.

You have to mind the impact of Covid on children and infants, too. Especially in China and Russia.
Childrens are almost always safe from it.At least in Poland.But old people are must dying.That is why i belive,that China made it to kill their grandpas.

10,000 KPH?

I have a hard time believing a missile is 'gliding' at 10,000 KPH, especially at low-altitude. Sounds a lot more like a standard ICBM?

Yeah the glide I assume means it can be guided when it gets closer to the target.

Be interesting to know how a Mach 8 missile can maneuver effectively enough with that amount of drag though.

But yeah it seems to operate like a high flying ballistic missile.

Which, if it is, means it's literally 60's technology, and current anti-missile technology has been developing to intercept for 40 years.

This does not look like the low-flying hypersonic missiles that Chinaboos and vatniks keep claiming will cripple American military power.

The Hypersonic Glide Vehicle's are closer to guided, gliding, lifting body-shaped cruise-missiles/lob-bombs than traditional ICBMs.

The whole terminology around the speed aspect really is a misnomer.

Because it's less the speed, and more the maneuverability and unpredictability of HGVs that is a problem for a lot of the standard ABM tech, which is mostly based on more traditional ballistic arcs for the older style conventional ICBM MIRVs. When those left the 'bus' stage, they had little ability to manuvuer, and thus are/were much easier targets than HGVs, which can move more like an aircraft/cruise missile than a MIRV warhead can.
