What's the significance of this militarily.

Is it essentially a non-nuclear neutron bomb that can fry electronics without the destruction or residual radiation??

Does it still have destructive impact of a hydrogen bomb? It's not super clear from the article, as it's behind paywall.

It's a thermobaric weapon. Not at all a "hydrogen bomb" or anything of the sort.

Looks like it is meant to be used underwater, so an anti-submarine depth charge or torpedo warhead?

Just adds another layer of guarantee that China can't be invaded.

That's naive thinking. If China did that, it would become a pariah state to the EU, making it political suicide for any European leader to even suggest reproachment with China as a hedge against erratic US leadership. Let's also not forget Russia's double-crossing with India, including its insulting "intelligence leaks" about the Galwan clashes that clearly aimed to paint India as the winner.
The EU is no "friend" to China. White people will always side with white people when the option of ganging up on Asians exists.

Their attitude of acting better than everyone else despite their dwindling influence being a blip in the face of recorded human history make them insufferable. The jungle has come to collect from garden.

Secondly, what does global perception of Galwan matter? Russian propaganda will not change the facts in theater when the Indians try to do Forward Policy again off their copium-fueled delirium.

It’s a bit of a clickbait by conflating this new weapon with the Hydrogen Bomb.

This new explosive is just a potentially more capable incendiary weapon similar to existing fuel-air explosive weapons. But the core ingredient, magnesium-hydride is going to be a massive bottleneck, since it’s usually only able to be produced in microscopic quantities in labs, and China’s first commercial scale factory will only make 150 tons of the stuff per year.
