China’s Hypersonic Missile Power Expands | YJ-20 Raises Stakes for US Navy in Taiwan Strait Conflict

China is rapidly expanding its arsenal of advanced anti-ship missiles, raising fresh questions about the future of naval warfare in the Indo-Pacific and the ability of US and allied forces to operate near the First Island Chain.

Recent footage released by Chinese state media showed a Type 052D destroyer launching the YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile from its vertical launch system. The demonstration highlights the growing capabilities of the People’s Liberation Navy and Beijing’s focus on long-range weapons designed to threaten high-value naval targets.

The YJ-20 is described as a ship-launched hypersonic anti-ship weapon capable of travelling at speeds above Mach 5 and manoeuvring during flight, potentially making interception more difficult.
