In the article it says:
"the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target."
If it flies through low-orbit space, it must be ballistic, at least in that part of the trajectory. If you accelerate while in low orbit, you reach higher orbit. (I.e. everything in low-orbit must be hypersonic by the nature of how orbital mechanics work around our planet).
So apparently it is in low orbit for a while and then it can glide down and alter course when doing so.
I think in truth, the US has had this or similar technology for decades. Alternatively, the US has had the technology to make the "supersonic low altitude missile" (SLAM) since the 1960s ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_Missile )
What are the chances the US has produced a "hypersonic medium altitude missile" in the last 50 years?
I'd agree with what people write in this post; the technology is not the real news. But why mention it now?
Exactly....
There's not enough fear to go around right now? "Ooooo! The Chinese are going 'hypersonic' so, get your clot shot NOW! Ooooo! Ooooo! TRUST Dr. Fraudchi! He knows everything and ONLY a clot shot will protect you.... give us more MONEY!!"
Maybe too many people are re-discovering God in Christ right now - maybe they're re-learning that God KEEPS His PROMISES and that HE FAILETH NOT. "Oh, NO! The sheep aren't bowing to our idols right now! MORE FEAR!"
The messenger(s); coming back from their encounter(s) with God have a face shining like the Sun. Hurry! Let's get some golden calves or fear or SOMETHING out there to distract the weak...
