Satellite pictures reveal massive Chinese nuclear submarine base, says Pentagon

Photographs emerged last night that appeared to confirm fears in Washington that China is building a giant underground nuclear submarine base on a tropical island.
Pentagon chiefs are worried that the secret base near Sanya on China's Hainan Island - which the Miss World beauty contests - could threaten Asian countries and America's dominance in the region.

The satellite images reveal a substantial newly-built harbour which could hold a large of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers

The pictures, obtained by respected military magazine Jane's Intelligence Review, have raised concerns that the Chinese have carved out a secret base straight out of the plot of a James Bond thriller.

They show vast tunnel entrances that are thought to lead to huge caverns capable of hiding up to 20 nuclear submarines from spy satellites.

Sanya is a fast-developing holiday resort that has hosted the Miss World competition since 2003. It is on Hainan Island, which is about 160 miles from the coast of Vietnam.

Jane's Intelligence Review says the base has implications "for China's control of the South China Sea and the strategically vital straits in the area, and underlines Beijing's desire to assert tighter control over this region".

One of the photos shows China's latest 094 nuclear submarine at the base.

U.S. Defence chiefs estimate China will have five of the 094 subs operational over the next two years, each capable of carrying twelve nuclear warheads.

Jane's said it would be "difficult to ignore" for America with the development coming so close to vital sea-lanes.

The secrecy around the build-up is likely to lead the U.S. to put more pressure on the Chinese to come clean with its plans and raises further questions about Beijing's relationship with the rest of the world in the run-up to the summer Olympics.

Here they go again, the fantastic wonderfull USA sticking there nose in again.
So what, who care's. Good Luck to china, i hope they arm themselves to the max. Who wouldn't with a dam country like the USA thinking they can do what they want and tell other nations what to do and what not to do.
If someone stands before you witha stick do you grab a bigger stick or a litle stick?
Also proves they seem to believe they have the power to watch everyone forget privacy even thousands of miles away, it does not exist with these sumbags.

Good luck to China? Do you really think they're there to stand up for the rest of the world?

China is evil but the U.S. is just as evil. Did China ever nuke another country??? Did they start the whole war on terror??

[grannymoose]

no dude, not stand up, only to protect themselves. i see it has a right just like you have a right to posses a firearm, and so does you neighbour and so on, in some countries.

When i think or enter a converstation about these weapons i always try and place my self into the country that is aquiring them. Don't get me wrong, none of this wanting to obtain nukes is good... but if you was a country and your neighbour had nukes, what and who says they are allowed them and you are not. The power behind the USA has always been the fact they have these weapons, they have proven in the past that they will use them. Other countries have them becouse the other countries, it's vicious circle. I'll talk now as if i,ve just smoked a big joint, " what should be happening is these weapons destroyed ad all countries have no need for them." back to reality, we can not but dream.

Yeah that or they are being tricked into another war, just like all the wars before?
Population reduction plus rich getting richer, more likely than your good ol' China being world saviour.

I agree with what you said!!!

Its the chinese that will likely invade America and instigate the New World Order control. They have been gearing our minds towards conflict with china and other asian countries. We seem to think its impossible that someone would try to invade the USA, much like we do to other nations around the world, but let me tell you it is very much possible , in fact , that is what they are working towards.

dammit, I just love "peace-time". :D

You know, thats not bad! USA busy busy in iraq, and now the tumbling troubles of Iran. Could it be possible to invade the states while they fight on 2 fronts abroad? could an attack be poosible? is there oppurtunity to do so now?
ummm my mind boggles.

do you know the US has access to all CCTV and information on every citizain in the UK as from last Tuesday when a secret security bill was pushed through parliament allowing them because we are allies in the war on terror.... basically now EVERY crime from dog shitting to finding out if you live in the correct school catchment area are now terrorist crimes as they have an effect on society.
at the same time, as to immigration laws, the UK is not allowed any details from any Polish persons living now in UK as their government has said they moved to make a new life so we don't need it.. I'm not suggesting these are all agents/soldiers for NWO or even criminals.. but there ID's are secret and yet our own ID's are not.... coincidence the Poles have many people living here...


I did not know this, i seek and i am sure i will be soon leaving my homeland, i refuse to reside amoungest this crap anylonger.
