Top military leader says China's hypersonic missile test 'went around the world'.

China's summer test of a hypersonic missile "travelled around the world," a US general said in an interview, providing new information on the test and warning that China could one day launch a surprise nuclear assault on the US.

Hyten, who earlier lauded China's military's rapid development of capabilities, cautioned that they may one day be able to launch a surprise nuclear assault on the US.

The test findings come amid rising tensions over Taiwan, as China strives to increase its military capabilities.

China is aggressively growing its nuclear arsenal, and by the end of the decade may have 1,000 nuclear weapons.
