At the moment China is constructing 145 new silos for ICBMs

[52051]

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – China has begun constructing over 100 new ballistic missile silos near the city of Yumen in the province of Gansu, US media reported.
A total of 119 almost identical construction sites in Gansu show elements featured by existing Chinese launch facilities, the Washington Post newspaper reported, citing commercial satellite images obtained by researchers at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California. According to experts, the number of new missiles for these silos could be much smaller.

“If the silos under construction at other sites across China are added to the count, the total comes to about 145 silos under construction,” Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, a part of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, told the Washington Post.

Other than ICBMs, all ballistic missiles in China has mobile launcher and don't need silos.

These newly constructed silos could either host silo-based DF-41 or the upcoming new heavy ICBMs.

Like I have repeatedly called, China is now expanding our strategic nuclear arsenals very rapidly.

Preparation for Armageddon War.

It's even mentioned in Chinese prophecy as well.

Can you share

China is the new Soviet Union. Specially after today’s Xi ji ping blunt speech (towards US) on 100th the anniversary.

Can you share

It said China will be nuked.

Chinese cities will be destroyed.

All the tall buildings made of metal and crystal (glass) will be scattered in a big powerful blow and then get burned.

But the bigger danger is the cloud (aka radiation from the nuclear explosion).

China has hydrogen bombs. Very clean. No worries.

Fascists and imperialists should know that the Late Qing and ROC era is over and they will never again profit from the slavery and suffering of Chinese people.

I am a bit disappointed. I thought Xi would build 8,888 silos. Because 8 is a lucky number.

Don't listen to western media perhaps just a propaganda from the US military for their own justification to get more budget. Big part of US economy is based on military complex. That is why they need to bomb Middle Eastern countries to use up the old inventory. Warehouse congested.

For China, SSBN is a low priority if you know how to measure distance and read a world map.

When US State Department said it is very concerned of China nuclear warheads buildup, did they bother to look into the mirror and wonder why the oppoenent is doing it or what is their concern?

Such arrogance and lack of empathy is the reason why USA will only continue to decline.
USA cannot accepts the fact that it is no longer the sole superpower in the world today.

Today USA Administration talks about problem of human trafficking on the air and they only point their fingers at 3 countries: Russia, China and Myanmar.
We can only look at these bozos at the White House and wondered which planet they came from.
Much like the trolls in here.

That is why a very confident President Xi in his 100 CPC centennial speech simply ignore USA and speaks of a very bright future ahead for the Chinese nation.

The energy, high spirit and patriotism shown at the rally impressed me.

The road to unification with Taiwan is inevitable and just a matter of time.
China seeks peaceful reunification but don't push it, that is what President Xi is saying.
There is no if or what?

If China is going to get nuke anyway might as well build many more weapons and nuke them back and make the world a radioactive waste land with nobody alive.

Much like China Space Program.
Everything is running according to its schedule.

China will have a 550 warships Navy by 2050.
