The news comes after the US Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted their first hypersonic weapon system test in August in Promontory, Utah.
On October 17, reported that 'tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught US intelligence by surprise."
The report cited unnamed sources "briefed on the intelligence."
After the reporting, China denied it tested a saying that the test was instead a "routine spacecraft experiment."
Ethan Paul, an expert at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, told The Sun that China could be “wired with the most sophisticated and deadly weapons ever” after their alleged hypersonic missile test.
Paul said: “We’re just on the first level of what’s going to be an increasingly tall house of cards.
“We’re in the very beginning of a never-ending cycle. The US and China will continue to take steps to try and exploit each other’s vulnerabilities.
Asian superpowers have been scrambling to build powerful weapons in a terrifying arms race.
An Asian national security official and a Chinese security expert close to the People’s Liberation Army said the weapon in China was being developed by the country's Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics.
