AUKUS is the top of America's tiered alliances targeting China. The submarine deal was the first of many weapons that will be developed, and expect them to move to other domains .From cyber to space to air to chemical to biological, expect them to develop China specific weapons in the coming decades .
Don't underestimate Anglos who are determined to maintain their hegemony.

Don't over estimate Anglos hegemony determination as well. Ask the Koreans, Vietnamese, Afghanistan, Libyans and many more. Even if Australia upgraded all of their weapons "to target China" that doesn't guarantee to contain China, other than costing them hundreds of billions for nothing.

Maybe. It's either a HCM or a super long range "high supersonic" cruise missile. The confusion with the DF-100 is because HCM is poorly understood and not that well defined for the masses to understand easily. And of course confusion over the term "high supersonic" in Chinese. It could mean either mach 4 to 5 or mach 5 and above (hypersonic). The words "high supersonic" in Chinese is often also used to describe hypersonic.

Whatever it is, all we know about the DF-100 is that it's powered and it's "high supersonic" (a term in Chinese that is often used for hypersonic).

When people hear cruise missile, they typically think those long tubular, turbine powered subsonic terrain hugging missiles. An HCM is simply a hypersonic "missile" that is propelled by an engine. In that case, if DF-100 is above mach 5, then it would be an HCM. I call it an HCM because it is described as "high supersonic" and it is engine powered.

高超音速 in Chinese papers is Hypersonic, that is above Mach 5.

"high supersonic" is a Chinglish term made up by non-professional readers.

However, I haven't find any official source to refer DF-100 as 高超音速, nor by the CCTV presenter during the 2019 parade.

Firstly, you are continuing off-topic after many members have raised the alarm. Secondly, your post have no value to discussion except political provocation.

Lastly, what is all your "Whoops. LOL"? Do you even know what you are laughing at? That Mars test was a concept demonstration test by Lockeed, not a missile. China has done a more challenging test at the latest in September 2020, and that is not the only one China has done.

Yeah, that's what going to happen to those new "islands" China has built. Or, more likely, they'll just be taken over if it comes down to it. And thanks.

sferrin, consider this a formal warning.
Posts of this nature are not constructive, and are actively provocative and outside of the accepted boundaries on this forum.
You are going to have to accept that the baseline here is different to other forums that you've been on, and the tolerance for posts of this nature is lower than elsewhere.
This is a shame, because I also know from your contributions of other forums that you are capable of constructive discussion.

If you want to continue to post on this particular forum, try to pretend that "holding in your inner political feelings" as the price for entry.

As you have been warned before by TUP, you will receive a one week warning ban. The next time it happens, it will be a one month warning ban, and then permanent thereafter.
