The Chinese army builds a huge complex in Western Beijing, which the US intelligence service believes will serve as a war command center far greater than Pentagon, according to current and former US officials.
Satellite images obtained in the financial time examined by the US intelligence service show approximately 1500 hectares of construction site 30 km southwest of Beijing with deep holes that military experts estimate that they will accommodate large, hardened bunkers to protect Chinese army Leaders during any conflict – including a potentially nuclear war.
Several current and former American officials have said that the intelligence community is a careful view of the place, which would be the world’s largest military command center – and 10 times higher than Pentagon.
Based on the assessment of satellite images obtained by FT, the great construction began in mid-2024. Three people familiarized the situation said that some intelligence analysts called the “Military City in Beijing” project.
Construction comes as the National Army of the Liberation Army develops new weapons and projects in front of the Stolo St. 2027. US intelligence service says the president XI Jinping He also ordered Plat to develop the ability to attack Taiwan by then.
AND PLA It also quickly expands its arsenal of nuclear weapons and works to better integrate its different branches. Military experts believe that the lack of integration is among the greatest weaknesses compared to the US armed forces.
“If it is confirmed, this new advanced underground command for military leadership, including President Xi as chairman of the Central Military Commission, signals the intent of Beijing to build not only a conventional world class force, but also an advanced nuclear war ability,” said Dennis Wilder, former boss China analyzes for CIA.
The director of the National Intelligence, which monitors the US intelligence community, did not comment on the project. The Chinese embassy in Washington said that “she was not aware of the details”, but emphasized that China “dedicated to the path of peaceful development and defense policy that is in nature defense.”
Renny Babiarz, a former analyst of picture paintings at the National Geoprostan Intelligence Agency that analyzed the pictures of the area, said at least 100 cranes worked in the area of five square kilometers that developed underground infrastructure.
“The analysis of the image suggests that the construction of several possible underground objects associated with possible underground passages, although additional data and information is needed to be fully evaluated by this construction,” said Babiarz, now vice president of analysis and surgery in Allsource Analysis, GeoProstrine Analysis of the Servical Group Analysis .
The place in Western Beijing was occupied by construction activities earlier this month, unlike a lack of development in most major real estate projects in China, caught by the crisis of the property sector. There were no salons that were usually related to the commercial real estate project. Unusual for a commercial project, there is no official construction site mention on the Internet.
Although there was no visible military presence at the site, there were signs of warning of flying drones or photographing. The guards at one gate suddenly said that the entry was forbidden and they refused to talk about the project. One supervisor who left the construction site refused to comment on the project.
Access to the back of the project is blocked by a checkpoint. The guard said that the public could not access the popular mountaineering and tourist areas near the town, describing the local seller as a “military area”.
A former US American intelligence official said, although the current headquarters of Plava is quite new to Central Beijing, it is not thought to be a safe combat command center.
“The main Chinese Safe Command Center is located in the western hills, northeast of the new facility, and it was built a decade ago at the height of the Cold War,” the former official said. “Size, scale and partially buried characteristics of the new facility suggest that they will replace the Western Hills complex as the primary war command.
“Chinese leaders can judge that a new facility will allow greater security against US munyci” Bunker Buster “and even against nuclear weapons,” the former intelligence official added. “It can also include more advanced and safer communication and have room to spread salaries and missions.”
A Chinese researcher familiar with the pictures said that “all the features of a sensitive military object”, including a strongly reinforced concrete and deep underground tunnel.
“Almost 10 times higher than Pentagon, it corresponds to XI Jinping ambitions to surpass the US,” the researcher said. “This fort serves only one purpose, and this is to act as a bunker of a trial day for an increasingly sophisticated and more capable army of China.”
The construction of the place comes in the midst of many years of remodeling Western Perippers of Beijing. But in China in China, they speculate on why the houses in the Qinglongh area collapsed.
In one post on Baid Zhidao, the equivalent of Chinese quora search engine, one user said, “Will they build a Chinese pentagon in Qinglongh?”
Two people close to the Taiwan Ministry of Defense also said that Sage seems to build a new command center, although some experts have questioned whether they are suitable for underground bunkers.
“The surface of the land is much greater than a normal military camp and military school, so it can only be assumed that this is a place for administrative organization or a large training base,” said HSU Yen-chi, researcher in the Council of Father Strategic and War Studies Think-tank in Taipe.
