China's decision to open up massive bomb shelters to the public, ostensibly to provide a respite from summer heat, has U.S. intelligence analysts concerned about a possible strategic deception by Beijing, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The government made a high-profile public announcement, carried by the official Xinhua news agency, this week that bomb shelters in central Chongqing would be opened to the public to allow residents to cool off during a heat wave in which temperatures are reaching into the 90s.
Specifically, the announcement said, the government had decided to open 24 cool, underground air-raid shelters, most of them built in the 1960s and 1970s.
"A heat wave with high humidity has hit Chongqing since last week, making life unbearable to residents, many of whom only have electric or palm-leaf fans to cool off," the Xinhua report explained.

I think that the real import of the article is that if you believe these analysts, then the Chinese apparently have an intent to engage in nuclear war, and perhaps they think that these shelters will work. It really says nothing about whether they actually will.
Personally, I think both of the conclusions are nutso. More likely, if it means anything, it simply means that they've figured out that like Jung-Il, they can manipulate the American thought processes and cause histeria over here by doing meaningless things like this.
I must have fallen under a mulch pile or in sand pit - I came out unscathed.
The newspapers on top of me apparently protected me while I went to sleep on my Lazy Boy.
Chongqing, once the industrial base of China, is now the major southern banking center. The province, located in the heart of China, has a population of 32 million, with about 4 million living in the city of Chongqing.
Strategically, Chongqing is home to many of the country's great minds: Engineers; Financiers, Military Doctors and Educators.
Where in China is "central Chongqing" and how important is it? [i.e. is it across Taiwan, or does that area include anything particularly important in terms of economical or political infrastructure?]
Perhaps...
But the Chinese have a billion people and little regard for life. The only thing that matters to the Chinese government is perpetuation of the Moaist state...no matter the cost.
The Chinese, just like chinese drivers in this country, and unlike Russians, have no common sense. I am afraind they could legitamize a nuclear first strike against, perhaps, a carrier battle group while they engage Taiwan...they'd expect a retaliation in kind from us.
A nuke war with China could play out.
I am not saying you're wrong, however, I do think that China is like N.Korea in that it likes to play these mind games. The little hints they throw our way do not necessarily reflect what they are actually thinking. It's all calculated for effect.
I must have been wearing SPF 2,000,000 Sun Block...stuff always does the trick.
It seems like the article is claiming that the chinese are doing this, moving the folks in and out of these things, regardless of heat, so as to throw us off, since we are watching people's movement by satelite....jist of it????
"I must have been wearing SPF 2,000,000 Sun Block...stuff always does the trick."
Of course the stuff is a foot thick on top of your skin, and you can't move. But hey, you survived the nuke war.
My wife got me a new Lazy Boy for Father's Day. If I want to stay awake and read or watch something on tv, I can not lift up the foot rest.
Great picture of me, except my Lazy Boy is a deep purple. My wife won't let me pick the colors of furniture. I might buy yellow or orange.

Your right but the huge import deficits with china really took off under Bush. Bush has not ben exactkt stopping any trade with china and therefor making them stronger militairly
Hmmm. Why do you suppose they bothered to rescue the people caught in the floods last week?
Outsourcing
U.S. satellite manufacturers would send their satellites to China, where they were launched into orbit by Chinese missiles and U.S. technology in order to save money.
It's free trade, it's good for us, right?
ping
??????????? there was a nuke war? When?
But maybe the more relevant point you want to avoid is that THERE WILL BE A NUKE WAR AND YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.
