China may have 3,000 nuclear warheads: US report
WASHINGTON: A US university students' project has stumbled upon figures that China's could have 3,000 nuclear warheads, many times larger than the well established estimates of arms-control experts, sounding alarm bells in Pentagon.
Goergetown University students logging into sources as disparate as Google Earth, blogs and military journals have come out with an exhaustive research report claiming that the Chinese have built a vast network of secret underground tunnels to hide a sophisticated missile and nuclear arsenal.
Calling it " Underground Great Wall", the students pushed on by their hard charging professor, a former top Penatgon official, have said in the report that China could have as many as 3,000 nuclear warheads, far higher than the current estimates which range from 80 to 400, Washington Post reported.
The 363-page study, which according to the Post has not been published yet has claimed that Chinese Second Artillery Corps- designated to handle nuclear weapons- has dug thousands of miles of tunnels across the country to disperse the nukes and keep them away from prying eyes in the sky.
The study is yet to be released, but Washington Post said it has already sparked a Congressional hearing and been circulated among top officials in the Pentagon including the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff.
The students' professor, Philip Karber, 65 spent the Cold War as a top strategist reporting directly to the Secretary of Defence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the paper said.
US official could not be reached to comment on the report, Washington Post said.

The problem is not Hillary.
The problem is, for some reason conservatives seem to have somehow come to the incorrect conclusion that the PRC is in any way different from the Soviet Union.
Why is that? They’re not.
So why are we making them stronger?
They won’t be of much use against God and his return.
>Some< conservatives.
Is there any small part of what you just said, which in any other context could be considered to be nationally suicidal?
Are we opposed to China taking over, or are we not?
Pick a lane. Simply saying God will sort things out, really won’t help strategically.

China is just building its muscle when it goes for its own Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. First order of business will be forced reunification with Taiwan.
It’s too bad the Amerian people have become so ignorant as to what the Democrats have done to them. I’m afraid when the reality hits, they’ll have a few billionths of a second to see the light.
