Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on Oct. 18 and answered a Reuters reporter’s question about a Financial Times report that China had test-fired a “nuclear-capable hypersonic missile” this year.
Zhao Lijian said it was understood that the test was a routine spacecraft test to verify spacecraft reusability technology, which is important for reducing the cost of spacecraft use and providing a convenient and inexpensive way for humans to use space peacefully. Several companies around the world have conducted similar experiments. Separated before the spacecraft returns is the spacecraft supporting device, which will burn up and disintegrate during the meteoric fall into the atmosphere and fall in the East China Sea waters.
