This is different from the Sunburn anti-ship missiles they’ve brought from the Russians?

Answering my own question: even the superb Yakhont missile (also a Russian import) is only Mach 2.5
The Chinese can’t have got ramjet missiles working already? Steerable mach 10 hypersonic missiles, yeah one of those would be a problem.

Mach 10 is much, much faster than the Sunburn, though the other characteristics sound similar.

As many people have pointed out, these are BALLISTIC missiles that are traveling out of the atmosphere for most of their flight. Nothing like previous anti-ship missiles.
