China has begun construction of what independent experts say are more than 100 new silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles in a desert near the northwestern city of Yumen, a building spree that could signal a major expansion of Beijing’s nuclear capabilities.

Commercial satellite images obtained by researchers at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, Calif., show work underway at scores of sites across a grid covering hundreds of square miles of arid terrain in China’s Gansu province. The 119 nearly identical construction sites contain features that mirror those seen at existing launch facilities for China’s arsenal of nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.

The acquisition of more than 100 new missile silos, if completed, would represent a historic shift for China, a country that is believed to possess a relatively modest stockpile of 250 to 350 nuclear weapons. The actual number of new missiles intended for those silos is unknown but could be much smaller. China has deployed decoy silos in the past.

  1. And is the U.S. doing anything now to expand ITS nuclear ballistic missile & other weapon arsenals to balance the expansions of our enemies??? President Trump HAD actually made such expansion proposals but he had a lot of opposition to them. Now, the severely wicked Deep-State has placed in power their wicked puppets, Joseph Biden & his cronies, one of whom is Lloyd Austin on defense of the country. These severely wicked people are strongly intent on saturating the U.S. military with the worst levels of Toeiva, Rachmana Litzlan. So, with them putting much of their time & effort into doing that, it is EXTREMELY questionable if they are going to properly update and expand and strengthen the U.S. forces to be able to counteract the threats of our enemies.
