He said 鳖塞冬, which is a play on word where 鳖 means China/CCP. So "Poseidon - Chinese ver"
Why is the black AJX002 UUV/torpedo not covered while other weapons are covered?
Poseidon is a very notional capability to deliver a nuclear warhead against a coastal installation, bypassing American BMD.
I am not convinced China is thinking along such lines. As someone else on Twitter pointed out, the designation of the carrier vehicle indicates an uncrewed system, ie a drone, and perhaps as such not a weapon. Although the distinction is not always clear, nowadays.

In theory Poseidon could be used to strike port facilities. But it could also be used to strike carrier battle groups in the ocean.
In theory yes but it’s only use in war is after nukes have been used as using it first would invite nuclear retaliation what would far outweigh the benefits of destroying a carrier strike group or port facilities
