I think that should translate as "scramjet" rather than "supercruise ramjet".

In any case, YJ-20, YJ-17 and the UVLS hypersonic cruise missile/scramjet AShM (not YJ-19, which is the 553mm torpedo tube sized hypersonic cruise missile/scramjet AShM for submarines), make up quite a potent shipborne organic anti ship weapons suite for the ships which accommodate them.

Yes, he was essentially indicating that the UVLS's scramjet "target missile" is ready.

Yes, I think when the parade occurred the commentary was that the UVLS scramjet hypersonic ashm was one weapon that was absent from the parade but had met the readiness threshold to be present if the PLA wanted it so.
