It is Japan that is acting aggressively not China

It is no coincidence that the Japanese Ministry of Defense made public for the first time a video clip showing a test firing of the country's first hypersonic missile on Monday, the same day the Japanese side reported that the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Shandong aircraft carrier strike group finished its six-day operation in the West Pacific waters to the east of Taiwan island.

As shown by the Russia-Ukraine crisis, hypersonic missiles are hard to intercept, and are useful anti-ship weapons targeting large battleships such as aircraft carriers. Although Tokyo says the hypersonic missiles a part of its "island defense system", they are 100 percent offensive weapons.

With its de facto aircraft carrier Izumo, Japan is becoming one of the few countries that have both modern aircraft carrier strike groups as well as anti-aircraft carrier missiles.
