China has become alert after American bunker buster attacks on Iran. According to reports, China is building military bases and missile silos deep underground in Tibet and Xinjiang. Its purpose is to protect military resources and energy infrastructure from possible American attacks.
China Fear By US Bunker Buster Bomb: China is nervous in view of the increasing tension in the Middle East and the dangerous American bomb attacks on Iran. This is why it has started strengthening its military strategy. According to reports, China fears that if there is a conflict with America in the future, its military bases may also be targeted. This is the reason why China is planning to hide its military bases and missile bases deeper under the ground.
Missile silo built in Xinjiang
China has built large-scale missile silos in areas such as Tibet and Xinjiang, where long-range nuclear missiles are kept ready for launch. According to reports, Chinese energy experts are already advising the government to build safe underground infrastructure in western China in view of increasing geopolitical tensions and global instability. According to Zhang Xishu, chief technical expert of the government company Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), the necessary facilities should be built deep underground. This will allow critical resources like oil, natural gas and rare metals to be safely stored and protected from possible military attacks or surveillance.
Underground strategic corridor plan
According to Asia Times report, China is preparing to develop a multi-layer or tiered system under this plan. In this system, a large central storage hub will be connected to smaller regional depots and border facilities. This project will especially focus on the border areas of Tibet and Xinjiang. Researchers have described this network as China’s underground strategic corridor and covert support system. Its objective is to strengthen national security and increase the defense capability of the borders.
Plan to shift industry and infrastructure to interior areas
China has also started work in this direction. Under the new strategy, in the coming times, essential industries and infrastructure will be shifted from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen to inland and strategically safe areas. The purpose of this step is to reduce the risk in the event of a possible war, supply chain disruption or military conflict with the US and its allies. China has also made great progress in drilling and geological monitoring technology. Now China has such technology, which has made underground construction projects possible up to a depth of about 3000 meters.
Concern increased due to American attacks on Iran
Experts believe that a major reason behind this strategy of China is America’s attacks on Iran. About a year ago, America attacked Iran’s underground nuclear bases during Operation Midnight Hammer. In this attack, the US Army destroyed many nuclear sites using bunker buster bombs. Since this incident, Chinese government media and military experts have been continuously emphasizing that the country’s underground military facilities should be made more secure.
Focus on Tibet, Xinjiang and Sichuan
Under China’s new strategy, there is a plan to first shift important military bases and facilities to geographically safe areas like Tibet, Xinjiang and Sichuan. According to experts, the geographical location and natural security of these areas can make China militarily strong. Overall, this strategy of China is being considered a big step towards dealing with possible military conflicts in the future and securing its important resources and military infrastructure.
