China preparing for nuclear war

LONDON – Defense analysts for the British intelligence service MI6 believe China is preparing for the "eventuality of a nuclear war." The conclusion follows evidence that Beijing has built secretly a major naval base deep inside caverns which even sophisticated satellites cannot penetrate, says a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

In an unusual development, the analysts have provided details to the specialist defense periodical, Jane's Intelligence Review, which published satellite images of the base location which is hidden beneath millions of tons of rock on the South China Sea island of Hainan.

The MI6 analysts have confirmed the submarine base hewn out of the rock will contain up to 20 of the latest C94 Jin-Class submarines, each capable of firing anti-satellite missiles and nuclear tipped rockets.

china has satellites and technology to detect subs too...btw, they are called listening stations, I believe.

China has been expecting a nuclear attack since the 1950s.

Well, I’d say that the Chinese would have figured that in the time that it takes for a situation to escalate enough to lead to a missile strike into the cave, they can get all of their subs out of there, and into the sea.

More likely, they have a "Red" crew/"Blue" crew rotation with about half the fleet at sea and on station at any given time. If their subs are nuclear powered they can loiter submerged for at least six months.

The 'fleet' currently consists of a single boat, and all indications are it has a single crew. Russia didn't adopt the dual crew concept for their ballistic missile submarines and it's doubtful that China will either.

China is preparing for nuclear war.

And we’re funding it. To the tune of 20 billion dollars in one-way trade deficit, every single month.

Enough money flowing monthly, one-way from America into China, to pay for four Reagan-class aircraft carriers.

But at least, we’re not helping union members! That’s a relief.

nobody can prepare to win a nuclear war.

Rubbish! You have just ceded them Communist Goal #2
"2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war."

The only to "win" a nuclear war is to convince your adversary that you ARE willing to "play the game". It's called MAD if you recall and it worked for over fifty years. The bad news is it only works if you are dealing with a rational opponent (which leaves Iran a wild card!)

PS We need to make it crystal clear to the ChiComs that ANY attack on our space based defensive systems will be considered an act of war and will result with a full blown nuclear response on their homeland and assets deployed on and under the sea. They need to worry about that for a bit lest they get cocky.
