British media reports on a Chinese military center 10 times the size of the Pentagon.
The Financial Times claims to have obtained satellite images showing a 1,500-hectare construction site with deep pits being built outside the Chinese capital.
The media outlet claims that the site is being examined by US intelligence agencies.
According to the media outlet, military experts assess that the site is a large and strong shelter to protect China’s military leaders in the event of a potential nuclear war.
US officials announced that the country’s intelligence community is closely monitoring the site, which is the largest military command center in the world and will be at least 10 times the size of the Pentagon.
The Financial Times claimed in this report: Why is this center important? The People’s Liberation Army is rapidly expanding its nuclear weapons arsenal and is working to better integrate its branches. Military experts say that the lack of integration is one of China’s biggest weaknesses compared to the US armed forces!
According to the media outlet, a Chinese analyst said: “If confirmed, this military bunker would indicate Beijing’s intention not only to build a world-class conventional force, but also to include an advanced nuclear warfare capability.”
