The U.S. military is warning about what analysts described as a major expansion of China’s nuclear missile silo fields. Researchers at the Federation of American Scientists estimate China has approximately 250 underground missile silos under construction.

“Look at what American politicians are saying about China and look at the provocative actions of their warplanes and warships near China,” Hu Xijin said. “China must fully step up construction of its military force and nuclear deterrence as the cornerstone of its national security.”

Both sites are around 800 square kilometers . Ground-based silos can house intercontinental ballistic missiles. Spreading the silos across such a wide area makes targeting the field much more complicated. Analysts say some of the silos may serve as decoys as well. “The Chinese missile silo program constitutes the most extensive silo construction since the U.S. and Soviet missile silo construction during the Cold War,” researchers Matt Korda and Hans Kristensen wrote in the Federation of American Scientists report.

He characterized the findings as a warning by the U.S. to others that China, in developing its nuclear weapon capabilities, is violating an international consensus geared toward nuclear disarmament. “It’s also to let Russia know. China, if it increases its number of missiles, it threatens not only the U.S., but also Russia and Europe,” said Kuo, the director at the Institute for National Policy Research in Taiwan.held inconclusive talks this weekChina’s nuclear arsenal is estimated by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute at 350 warheads, while the United States or Russia each has about 6,000. The Pentagon says China will at least double the size of its arsenal in 10 years.

Not sure about that Yumen area report When I look at the geology and the maps including large infrastructure projects they seem to be building a large wind mill park as well as a large channel from the south for desert irrigation, but those are older maps

China knows the FedGov can see them….but what is China really doing lol it’s a misdirection.

LOL, they can add all they want, but both the US and China knows using them would be then end of the world. both sides have more then enough to wipe everything out many times over, and each would use them in a full scale event. So they know they wont do so.

Mutually assured destruction

If US said you have WMD, you better have it. The best way to prevent war from US is to balance military power.

Just put on a mask and you'll be fine

Iraq has WMDs too... somewhere

How horrible that these men believe that war is any kind of answer!

China no longer stick to minimal deterrent policy because both China and USA will use nuclear arsenal as a bargaining chip. Beefing up first, negotiations come after that. It’s unlikely either side will use it, but you have to have it first.

They are not alone the first to press the button sets off domino effect across the globe to extinction

I thought the plan was to get rid of these things and get them off the earth 🌎

Attempts to discredit human rights in Xinjiang failed. Began to discredit solar power plants. The ability of US Congressmen and 'free media' to distinguish things, no wonder the United States is becoming more and more lonely. The United States will be the next Britain

Why do countries seek to destroy themselves which would be the case if any major nuclear strike was made against an enemy.

it is wind plant. China China China Everyday!

Flashbacks are no joke, y’all.

Neither America nor Russia ever listened to a voice of peace from within not to build atomic bombs .... Why will china stop... When everyone is after the money.. No one wants peace .. Fight for more is a human global dilemma..

e_amyna they should nuke USA

🤔

Good

It’s a WIND FARM. You don’t even bother to remove the water mark. 🤦‍♂️ SMH

Let see how US try to bully china, like they did to iran

This is all part of the Illuminati plan for a showdown wit da Chinese! IlluminatiAgenda

Now we’re gonna be extra super double dead in a nuclear war as opposed to regular dead?

Apparently these are wind farms under construction lol

They won’t have any where to sell their cheap goods-

Are they building one in my bathroom? There's a lot of noise and people yelling in Chinese coming from in there.

Wonderful!

Such a waste of time and resources. Don't they see the modern way is using a virus.

Yeah show us the aluminium tubes. Wheel out Colin Fucking Powell. Talk about slam dunks. We ain’t fucking buying it.

So what, let them warn all they want. If China pushes their launch button, we'll push ours, and everyone dies. We both have more than enough to extinguish human life, no matter who launches first. Since it won't matter after that, it doesn't matter now.

So what!

'dracula is warning people about vampires'

One superpower is going up,another is going down.
