China Constructs Massive Military Complex with Nuclear Bunkers Near Beijing

CNChina|

Satellite images analyzed by U.S. intelligence have revealed the construction of a significant military complex located approximately 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing, China. This facility, which is reportedly ten times larger than the Pentagon, is expected to serve as a command center for China's military leadership during critical situations, particularly in potential nuclear conflicts, according to intelligence experts.

The construction site spans over 600 hectares and features deep underground tunnels reinforced with heavy concrete designed for radiation protection. Reports indicate that the area is heavily guarded, making it difficult for drones to survey the site, and it has been declared off-limits to the public.

Dennis Wilder, former head of the CIA's China analysis, commented, "If this information is confirmed, it would suggest that Beijing is not only building a world-class army but also developing advanced nuclear capabilities." Furthermore, it is speculated that this project, referred to as "Peking Military City," may be completed ahead of the 100th-anniversary celebrations of the People's Liberation Army in 2027.

Notably, Chinese officials have not acknowledged the existence of this build, with the embassy in Washington stating they are unaware of any future plans but affirming the country’s commitment to defense policy.

China Claims Development of Hypersonic Missiles Capable of Global Strikes in 30 Minutes

Chinese scientists have reportedly developed hypersonic missiles that can strike any location on Earth within 30 minutes, based on a recent publication in the academic journal Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica. These missiles are equipped with a re-entry glide vehicle (RGV) capable of traveling at speeds up to Mach 20, or approximately 13,000 kilometers per hour, allowing for rapid changes in direction that complicate detection by traditional defense systems. The advancement follows India's successful Operation Sindoor, where the BrahMos missile penetrated Pakistani defense systems, highlighting the evolving dynamics in global defense technology. Major powers, including the United States and Britain, are also advancing in hypersonic technology, with an expected readiness date for their joint project in 2030. India is progressing in this domain as well, having tested its own hypersonic missile technology and actively developing the BrahMos-2 missile. Experts assert that despite having advanced air defense systems, India must bolster its capabilities to address the challenges posed by these emerging hypersonic threats.

Sudden Storm Capsizes Tourist Boats in China, Leaving 10 Dead

A sudden storm caused four tourist boats to capsize in Guizhou province, China, on May 5, resulting in the tragic deaths of ten people, according to state broadcaster CCTV. Over 80 individuals were thrown into the Wu River as strong winds and hail struck the scenic area during a busy national holiday. Initial reports mentioned only two boats capsizing, but officials later confirmed that four were involved, with two containing no passengers. The seven crew members on these boats managed to save themselves. Approximately 70 people were treated for injuries, most of which were minor. Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered extensive rescue efforts and emphasized the need for improved safety precautions at tourist sites following a series of accidents. Eyewitnesses noted that while some managed to swim to safety, the storm appeared abruptly, shrouding the river in mist. The boats involved had a capacity of around 40 passengers each and were reportedly not overloaded at the time of the incident.

China’s Global Campaign of Dissent Suppression Exposed

A recent investigation reveals China's extensive and systematic efforts to suppress dissent among its diaspora, employing tactics of transnational repression. Interviews conducted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) with over 100 victims across 23 countries highlight the extensive extent of these efforts, which reportedly include surveillance, coercion of relatives, and cyber harassment. Jiang Shengda, a prominent activist based in France, described receiving threats against his family in China aimed at silencing his protests against President Xi Jinping’s government. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied any allegations of transnational repression, asserting such claims are unfounded “fabrications” meant to slander the nation. Conversely, experts describe these methods, including intimidation, hacking, and economic sanctions, as an extension of the Chinese Communist Party's repressive strategies. The findings point to a greater challenge for democratic nations, which often lack the requisite tools and understanding to combat these sophisticated tactics effectively. As activists like Jiang speak out in the face of threats, the international community grapples with the ramifications of China's expanding influence on global freedoms.
