China has issued its latest threat to the West, unveiling cutting-edge technology capable of simulating 30 times the speed of sound – technology that could give its missile arsenal the upper hand over the US. The world’s most powerful wind tunnel has been constructed in China, with the ability to hit speeds of 23,000mph. The groundbreaking JF-22 facility in Beijing’s Huairou district puts China decades ahead of the competition in the field of hypersonic tech research. According to Han Guilai, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the facility gives China a 20 to 30 year lead on the West.
