Recent timelapse images reveal the rapid development of a massive Chinese military complex, which US officials estimate will be over 10 times the size of the Pentagon.
A report by the Financial Times highlights the monitoring of a vast 1,500-acre site in China known as “Beijing Military City” by the intelligence community. The features of this site suggest that Chinese leaders are preparing for a potential nuclear conflict with the United States.
An analysis based on European Space Agency Sentinel-2 satellite images indicates significant construction activity at a location approximately 20 miles southwest of Beijing. The presence of deep holes in the images suggests the preparation of fortified bunkers to protect China’s military leadership during a potential war, possibly even a nuclear confrontation.
Experts draw parallels between these developments and the underground bunkers used by Chinese leaders during the 1969 conflict with the Soviet Union. The construction of a nuclear command and control center is speculated to be in progress to ensure the continuity of leadership in the event of a nuclear crisis.
Former CIA deputy assistant director for East Asia and the Pacific, Dennis Wilder, commented on the significance of the underground command bunker, emphasizing China’s ambition to enhance its military capabilities, including nuclear warfare.
Comparatively, the Pentagon in the US serves as the headquarters of the Department of Defense, located in Virginia, and is known for its role in shaping American foreign policy.
