Hypersonic missiles are way overrated. They can and have been shot down.
Our military is far, far more advanced than the Chinese military. They look big and bad, and they do have numbers, but their technology is still severely lacking.
Communist nations will never have the technological advantage, their very culture discourages innovation. They steal any technology they use. Espionage is the bigger risk.
Joe Biden does not inspire confidence.

During controlled testing, yes. They've also been missed.
And those are single missiles. I don't think we've ever shot down multiples during a test, although if we had we hopefully wouldn't be making it public. A good college friend I talk to on a regular basis is VP at a missile defense contractor, and all he can say is "hitting a bullet with a bullet is difficult".

Nobody has said otherwise, but it also doesn't matter in certain areas, and hypersonic missiles is one of them. The tech needed to shoot one is a couple of orders of magnitude simpler than the tech needed to stop one.
