China is building A colossal military command center, with American sources of information warning that it could serve as a war bunker for President Xi Jinping and his best military leaders.
The vast facility on the outskirts of Beijing – presumably at least ten times as large as the size of the Pentagon – has called for an alarm at Western intelligence services, which fear that it indicates the preparations for Beijing for a large worldwide conflict, possibly including nuclear war.
Newly analyzed satellite images of the project show a site of 1500 hectares under fast development 30 km southwest of Beijing.
Military analysts believe that the massive construction comprises heavily reinforced bunkers that are designed to protect the most important military brass in China against rocket attacks -in particular 'bunker -Buster' weapons used by the US.
Experts say that the facility, nicknamed 'Beijing Military City' by intelligence analysts, could darken any known military command center in the world.
The shocking revelations come while the People's Liberation Army (PLA) racet to expand its nuclear arsenal and to increase his combat possibilities prior to his centenary in 2027.
American information sources believe that Xi Jinping has ordered the PLA to be able to launch an attack on Taiwan by 2027, increasing the tensions in the region.
Former Cia China analyst Dennis Wilder warned that the new complex could mark a dangerous shift in China's military doctrine.

“If confirmed, this new advanced underground command bunker indicates Beijing's intention to not only build a conventional power of world class, but also an advanced nuclear warfights,” he said the Financial Times.
American intelligence officials, who have been keeping a close eye on the site since mid -2024, say that the scale and confidentiality of the project suggest that it is intended to replace the Chinese command center in the Western Hills, which was built during the Cold War.
Despite the enormous scale of development, Beijing refused to comment, whereby the Chinese embassy in Washington claimed that it was 'not aware of the details'.
Satellite images show at least 100 cranes that operate over an area of ​​five square kilometers, where military analysts believe that extensive underground tunnels and hardened bunkers are being built.
There are no signs of commercial development and all online references to the project seem to have been scrubbed from Chinese searches on the internet.
When reporters tried to investigate the site, Guards refused access and blocked access to hiking trails near the area.
A local shopkeeper described it: “It is a military area.”
Military experts say that the project has all the characteristics of a top secret PLA installation, with heavily reinforced concrete structures and deep underground tunneling.
One American source of information suggested that the enormous scale of the new bunker means that it could serve as China's primary wartime command center, offering greater protection against American military strikes and residential construction advanced secure communication technology.
China is spreading his nuclear weapons in stock in an unprecedented rate, while trying to integrate his army, navy and air force into a single, more efficient warfare machine
The construction of the site coincides with a massive military structure through the PLA, which quickly modernizes its powers to match the US.
China is expanding its nuclear weapons supply with an unprecedented rate, while trying to integrate his army, navy and air force into a single, more efficient warfare machine.
A China expert who has analyzed the satellite images, said that the bunker 'has all the characteristics of a Doomsday Command Center'.
“Almost ten times larger than the Pentagon, it's appropriate for the ambitions of Xi Jinping to surpass the US.”
Some Chinese citizens have even speculated online about the goal of the project. In a now removed post on Chinese social media, a user asked: “Do they build the Chinese Pentagon in Qinglonghu?”
American intelligence services are now racing to determine the true goal of the vast facility and how it fits in with China's wider military ambitions.
Western officials warn that if China is preparing for a future war – whether it is about Taiwan or against the US – this underground fort could play a key role in their strategic planning. But for now Beijing remains silent.
It comes just a few days after satellite images have unveiled the construction of China of a newly vast Fusion research center that has fueled international fears about its potential applications in both energy production and the development of nuclear weapons.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility in Liermore, California, where experiments in the physics of high energy density and astrophysical phenomena take place
NIF Target Bay in Liermore, California. The system uses 192 laser beams that converge in the middle of this gigantic ball to make a small hydrogen fuel pellet.
The research facility, based in Mianyang, the province of Sichuan, has been analyzed by several experts who have identified the design of the factory, with four extensive laser bays that converge in a central experimental room.
The design shows striking similarities with the £ 2.8 billion US National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California, which made the headlines last year for achieving a breakthrough in nuclear fusion.
The Chinese experiment Bay, however, seems to be about 50 percent larger than its American counterpart, which suggests that the ambitions of the country can even surpass those of the US in the race for merger technology.
The location of the facility in Mianyang is particularly important, because the region is already known as a hub for the nuclear and defense research of China.
The city is the home of the China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), the most important nuclear weapon research institute of the nation.
This connection has led to speculation that the new facility is not only aimed at energy research, but can also serve double purposes, including improving the nuclear arsenal of the country.
Experts emphasize that such facilities enable countries to simulate the conditions of nuclear explosions, thereby refining core head designs without the need for actual detonations.
