In a remote Chinese desert, a vast military complex is taking shape that some security scholars say appears built to ensure no American first strike on China's nuclear arsenal could reliably knock out Beijing's ability to hit back.
China's nuclear missiles can already reach any city in the United States. Now, satellite images reviewed by Reuters show Beijing is building a sprawling web of launch pads, bunkers and communications nodes near the isolated nuclear silos that hold the Chinese military's longest-range missiles.
The images reveal more than 80 pads for possible use by China's expanding fleet of mobile missile launchers and air-defense batteries. They also show facilities that may serve electronic warfare, satellite communications and command operations, according to three security analysts, who assessed the imagery for Reuters
The scale of the construction, which hasn't been previously reported, points to a sweeping expansion of hardened infrastructure designed to protect and operate China's land-based nuclear forces. Taken together, the network signals a significant upgrade in Beijing's efforts to ensure second-strike capability, underscoring intensifying nuclear competition with the United States as tensions rise over issues such as Taiwan's sovereignty.

Take out Three Gorges Dam and China becomes a non issue
Really?
And they do what? Surrender?
CORRECT
Bernard Schwartz, Loral, and MIRV technology.
Yes
Well you knew it was just a matter of time before some idiot posted it.😃
We’re all gonna be in the grease, no matter who gets the first strike in.
I only wish we could be assured that the evil creatures, who initiate the conflagration, would themselves be, painfully, consumed.
Peace baby. Trump and Zinger are good friends.
Take out Three Gorges Dam and China becomes a non issue

And trigger an all out thermonuclear war. Killing 400 million Chinese is not a joking matter. Its a death sentence for most Americans.
I wonder how many of their Harbor Fright nuclear weapons would actually work, if push comes to shove.
“...is on track to field 1,000 warheads by 2030...”
It would take about a 100 neudets, less than 1% of the global stockpile, detonated over major cities, to trigger a nuclear winter. A nuclear winter would trigger an unprecedented global catastrophe, causing temperatures to plummet, agriculture to collapse, and mass starvation that would kill billions. The current estimate
Simpler it would take one neudet in space to take out 1000’s of satellites and cripple the earth without their use. It is estimated that around a third of the earth’s population will be gone within hours of the first blast and the other two thirds will go within the next 10 years as food disappears and radiation poisoning strikes.
So China is just another piece of the puzzle.

The thing about mobile missile launchers of the size to carry nuclear tip missiles is they are very large and hard to hide, and expensive to build. I wouldn’t doubt if half or more of them they build will be fake just to try to fool us into believing they have a lot of them, I wouldn’t put it pass them.
Take out that dam and China will launch every nuke they have. That’s well enough to send this country back to the 1500’s. With 250 m. dead. If we’re lucky.
Yep
It will be on like Donkey Kong
In multiple places
“Killing 400 million Chinese is not a joking matter.”
The CCP might welcome this level of downsizing.
The CCP probably cares about it’s people about as much as our government cares about us.
