It’s honestly hilarious watching Western defence analysts panic because China just did to the missile market what it already did to solar panels, EVs, and shipbuilding:
Turned the luxury boutique of global militarism into a discount aisle.
The Pentagon has been selling US$4–15 million interceptors like they’re hand-crafted artisanal goods, and now China shows up with a hypersonic missile priced at US$99,000… basically the cost of a mid-range BMW in California.
Washington spent decades telling the world that China “can’t innovate.”
Turns out the real problem is China innovated too well, especially at the part where America makes its money.
If this pricing holds, every US defence contractor should start updating their résumés.
Hard to justify $4 million per missile when Beijing is out here selling Mach-7 hardware at “two-bedroom apartment in Ohio” prices.
The global arms market wasn’t ready for Temu-style geopolitics.
But here we are.
