It's impossible that it has 4000 miles range, that defies the laws of physics.

"China did something that we couldn't do?"
"Impossible! China only steals and copies, it cannot innovate. It must have found a way to break laws of physics. Totally normal thing to happen"

Do we see China bragging about this hypersonic test? No. So if people are saying what's being reported as unbelievable and goes against the laws of physics, that's coming from their end. So either their side is lying or it's the truth because it happened.
I think they are racists who were caught unaware and they are now scaremongering to make up for their internal contradiction between China is a superpower, and China cannot innovate
No, a boost glider going hypersonic for that long would break up, no matter what. Their is an operational limit on the range of HGVs because current materials engineering cannot deal with the immense forces put on the glider.

Two different tests
I think there's confusion here.
Even if the atmospheric part of the hypersonic flight time is limited, it does not mean the range is limited because HGVs can also be launched above the atmosphere to solve that problem. That's what China tested, an "Orbital Bombardment System."
The article posted earlier was claiming that HGVs have to choose stealth and shorter range, or detection and longer range. Their hypothesis is that you can't have both full-stealth and long range with HGVs.
As I stated earlier though, even if this hypothesis is correct, it doesnt nullify the advantages of HGVs for China, although it might for the US. Their requirements are different.
With that said, the case of low altitude unlimited hypersonic flight, I also think it's probably not yet possible. It's an engineering issue though, not physics.
Weren't the successful ones just testing of 'components'. Hilarious if true, they really went the Indian route and had to post something in response to China.

That bolded sentence is the most telling one.
From that we can see that American intelligence has drank the CIA’s propaganda kool aid and convinced itself China is only capable of copying.
It’s only now, when faced with irrefutable proof that they are at long last seeing reality.
