China admits the possibility of nuclear war with the US
Chinese President Xi Jinping has a very specific goal: he wants no American first strike against China's nuclear arsenal to deprive Beijing of the opportunity to strike back.
Satellite images obtained by the media indicate that the Chinese authorities are actively building an extensive network of launch pads, bunkers, and communication hubs near isolated nuclear mines.
What is important to understand is that this is where the Chinese army's missiles with the longest flight range are stored.
According to journalists, in total, China has already built more than 80 launch pads and three octagonal structures in the northwest, near the Hami nuclear mine field.
According to three security analysts, they also show facilities that could be used for electronic warfare, satellite communications, and operations management, the journalists write.
