Presumably he is referring to Chinese SSKs only, given the context is about launching YJ-19.

Brah...
According to poster:
"These are not wind tunnel test articles, but full-scale 3D-printed models of experimental flight vehicles. This company's philosophy is to replace wind tunnels and other simulations with actual flight testing. Every one of these machines has actually flown—and nearly every one holds a stack of world records."

all these missiles showing that they got hypersonic missile for air, ground, sea and underwater covered... I think US is 6-7 years behind.
What game changer weapon after hypersonic missile? laser that can slice up cruise and hypersonic missile in midflight?

CCTV13's definition of what it means to be a hypersonic weapoon:
1. Able to exceed Mach 5 in atmosphere or near space
2. Must be able to maintain sustained controllable flight at Mach 5
3. Can make large irregular manoeuvres
I quite like the definition because together they rule out the WELL ACKCHYUALLY cases with ICBMs were they exceed the speed as part of their suborbital flight without the manoeuvrability requirement being met.
It would seem for bi-conical manoeuvrable vehicles like DF-26D and JY-21 they still count, since in the 93 parade these two are grouped together with DF-17 in the hypersonic missile module.
3.2 Long-Term Goals for the Development of China’s Hypersonic Technology
3.2.1 Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
Based on China’s national defense needs and the guiding vision for developing hypersonic technology, the first step is to develop hypersonic air-launched missiles. Such missiles will have rapid response capability, strong penetration capability, and the ability to strike hardened targets, making them a new type of decisive “trump card” weapon for the military. Initial hypersonic cruise missiles will fly at approximately Ma≈6, with a range of 1,000–2,000 km, and a circular error probable (CEP) accuracy on the order of 10 meters. They can be launched from multiple platforms. On this foundation, cruise speed can be further increased, and unmanned aerial vehicles can be developed.
3.2.2 Hypersonic Aircraft
Hypersonic aircraft are designated as the second development objective. Militarily, hypersonic aircraft can conduct rapid strikes and long-range precision attacks, as well as be used for real-time reconnaissance, rapid long-range deployment, and high-altitude air combat. It is anticipated that hypersonic aircraft will achieve speeds of Ma=8–10. The technical challenges and scale of developing such aircraft will be enormous, requiring advancement on the basis of relatively mature hypersonic technology.
3.2.3 Aerospace Planes
Aerospace planes will be the third development objective. It is expected that in the 21st century, humanity will advance into space—for example, building space-based solar power stations, exploring and developing the moon, and establishing space production facilities—all of which will require advanced, economical, and reusable Earth-to-space transport systems. Without such support, space development will not be effective. Aerospace planes are a dual-use technology, for both military and civilian applications. With technological progress, competition in space will be inevitable, and aerospace planes will play an important role in space control. China should contribute significantly to humanity and secure a place for itself in the development of aerospace planes.

Its more so generation's of hypersonic ballistic missiles with bi-conical maneuverable vehicles like dark eagle being the first generation and HGV being the 2nd generation.
Oh it's a bit of a meme too in China thanks to a fairly well known social media personality declaring that only HGV and HCM should count as hypersonic and bi-conical maneuverable vehicles should not in one of his video, leading to the meme of referring to bi-conical maneuverable vehicles as "马超"/"Ma's hypersonic". The 93 parade and CCTV13's definition here rebukes him.
