Reuters: “In a remote Chinese desert, a vast military complex is taking shape that some security scholars say appears built to ensure no American first strike on China’s nuclear arsenal could reliably knock out Beijing’s ability to hit back.”

“China’s nuclear missiles can already reach any city in the United States. Now, satellite images reviewed by Reuters show Beijing is building a sprawling web of launch pads, bunkers and communications nodes near the isolated nuclear silos that hold the Chinese military’s longest-range missiles.”

China is enhancing its stockpile.

Stable Genius at work, again.

3. Frankly, I don't blame China for doing so given

the shitshow we have going on in this country right now. We are probably viewed as the world’s greatest threat by quite a few, if not most countries right now.
