Yong Jian – Asia Times Feb 3, 2025
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is reportedly building a new command center in the capital, Beijing, that, upon completion, will be at least 10 times larger than the US Pentagon.
Financial Times said that the construction of the mega-sized facility, which has been widely reported in mainstream media, has raised alarm among Western intelligence agencies, which think Beijing is preparing for a large-scale or even nuclear war.
The FT report said newly-analyzed satellite images showed that the project under construction is on a 1,500-acre site 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing. The images showed at least 100 cranes operating over a five-square-kilometer area.
The report said military experts believe that the facility will include heavily fortified bunkers to protect Chinese Communist Party (CCP) top leaders if a large-scale war breaks out. It said the construction of the facility began in mid-2024.
Intelligence analysts have reportedly nicknamed the project “Beijing Military City” as it will become the world’s largest military command center once completed.
FT said its reporters had tried to get close to the construction site but were blocked by security guards. A local shopkeeper told the outlet that the site is a military area.
The report coincided with US President Donald Trump’s call for building an expansive, next-generation “Iron Dome” missile defense shield for the mainland US. The shield, which will have a much larger coverage than Israel’s, will be designed to shoot down hypersonic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
China’s Foreign Ministry has not yet responded to the FT report and Trump’s Iron Dome program as the country celebrates the Chinese New Year from January 28 to February 4.
It is no secret, however, that China already has nuclear bunkers and underground military command centers. In 2017, China Central TV reported that the PLA’s command headquarters in Xishan in southwest Beijing is 100 meters underground. It said PLA officers have started giving commands for military exercises from there since 2013.
“Our country adopts an active defense strategy,” Qian Qihu, a Chinese military engineer, told CCTV in an interview in August 2022. “As we don’t fire the first shot, we need to protect ourselves from our enemy’s first attack, then we can fight back.”
“Our strategic weapons must be fully protected. We must be able to keep ourselves safe from any of the enemy’s attacks, including nuclear strikes,” Qian said. “As the enemy’s means of attacks continue to evolve, our defense methods also need to evolve. And we should not rely on a single defense method.”
After graduating from Harbin Engineering University in 1961, Qian was sent to the Soviet Union’s Kuybyshev Military Engineering Academy, which is now known as the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, to study military engineering and geology.
In Kuybyshev (known as Samara before 1935 and after 1991), Qian learned how the Soviet Union built a bunker for its supreme leader Joseph Stalin in 1942.
The facility, 37 meters below the ground, was aimed to be Stalin’s alternative military command headquarters. But Stalin never used it and was even a tourist site in the 1990s.
After China successfully tested its first hydrogen bomb in June 1967 with the help of the Soviet Union, Qian led China’s development of nuclear-resistant buildings.
In the 1980s, Qian led a team of researchers to design underground bunkers as the West developed massive ordnance penetrators (MOP) that could destroy targets tens of meters below the ground.
Today, the United States’ GBU-57A/B MOP can penetrate 60-meter-thick cement and as far as 200 meters underground.
Hsu Yen-chi, a researcher of the Council on Strategic and Wargaming Studies, a Taipei-based think tank, told the media that the ongoing construction project in Beijing is bigger than a military school and is more like an administrative organization or a large training base than a nuclear bunker.
In fact, the PLA has already identified a nearby site to build its nuclear bunker.
In January 2018, Qin Dajun, a deputy researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the South China Morning Post that Chinese researchers found a solutional cave suitable for building a nuclear-resistant bunker.
He said the spacious limestone cave, located at the Xishan Forest Park, 20 kilometers southwest of Beijing, has a natural water source. He said the cave is 2,000 meters underground, compared with the depth of 2,200 meters of Krubera Cave in Georgia.
Qin’s comments came after North Korea defied Beijing’s warnings to test its nuclear bombs in 2017.
Some commentators said even if the CCP has the capability and a deep cave to build a nuclear bunker, it would not be wise to hide all party leaders in a single place during wartime.
Canada-based Chinese commentator Wen Zhao says on his YouTube channel that when a war breaks out, CCP leaders should hide in different places to maximize their survival chances. He says a mega-military command center will attract more military attacks from the enemy than usual.
In fact, some other observers said it’s likely that CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping will move to Xian in Shaanxi during wartime as the city is well protected by high mountains and missile systems.
In 1900, when the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, led by the US, France and Germany, marched into Beijing, Qing Empress Cixi fled to Xian, where she claimed to enjoy hunting, and stayed there for a year.
Look at those chinks wearing masks as they slave away creating a protective bunker for their “leaders”. Idiots.
shock announcement, Trump says US will ‘take over’ Gaza Strip
Story by NEWS WIRES•
President Donald Trump revealed an extraordinary plan Tuesday for the United States to take over the Gaza Strip, resettle Palestinians in other countries — seemingly whether they wanted to leave or not — and turn the territory into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
Greenland refused to resettle anyone so Starmer has agreed on a large numbers coming to the UK and ireland, much farm land has already been taken for MP house building schemes
MP housing is Migrant Programme housing
Trump made the proposal to audible gasps during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benny Nutanyahu, whom he was hosting at the White House for talks. President Donald Trump said the US would take over the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it economically after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere, moves that would shatter decades of US policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
For some weeks Israel has been selling blocks of land in the occupied territories
Trump unveiled his surprise plan, without providing specifics, at a joint press conference on Tuesday with visiting Israeli Prime Minister.
The announcement followed Trump’s shock proposal earlier on Tuesday for the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring countries, calling the enclave – where the first phase of a fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire is in effect – a “demolition site.”
Trump can expect allies and foes alike to strongly oppose any US takeover of Gaza. The US taking a direct stake there would run counter to longtime policy in Washington and for much of the international community, which has held that Gaza has always been part of the future Palestinian state that includes the occupied West Bank.

What must concern China is America’s lawlessness. It will use terrorism and economic sabotage to target its Belt and Road Initiative in attempts to make it risky for the country it targets, making it the BRI an unviable enterprise by quashing the economic gains it would have brought them and China.
Perhaps China has looked at the huge costs America has of maintaining hundreds of bases abroad, then decided it’s more practical and economic to have a huge Central Command in China, controlling smaller contingents abroad which liaise with foreign militaries and can operate out of their bases? So instead of paying for men and forces abroad everywhere, arrange it so men and equipment can be moved anywhere in the world very quickly and only where needed. Then they’re not paying for bases where there’s no actually fighting. Don’t fund 500 bases everywhere when you can use 50 close to the fighting. Just make sure your huge Central Command has able officers who can get things where and when they’re needed.
Trump already turned Panama against China in classic gangster style, using the Canal as an excuse for an economic hit-job. This must have involved threats of military violence or economic damage or maybe both, because Panama wouldn’t have done it otherwise. Hopefully they and China know to wait a while until America is done. Will Trump try threats on all South American countries? It’s quite likely.

Communist China is another Rothschild prodigy nation which was initially funded and controlled not just through the USSR, which was another of their prodigy nations, but also by the financial tentacles of that same internationalist money power. In China, once the people were totally regimented in its top-down totalitarian system with one massive purge following another, US puppets, Kissinger and Nixon, hit the world stage beginning in the 1970’s to “open up” China to the world and to Western trade. Shielded by massive amounts of disinformation, fake news and fake history, the US even used the pretext that an economic alliance with China would counter balance the alleged “threat” of the USSR – curiously still being economically supported by the same Western bankster cartel.
So what was the Rothschild-Rockefeller US plan in opening up brutally repressive communist China for trade with the wonderful West? Was it to convert poor China to the capitalist faith by outsourcing every conceivable manufacturing industry to it, tens of millions of jobs, and hundreds of billions in investments? Was that it? Seriously? Or was it to make a huge killing using the dirt cheap and very obedient Chinese labor force to flood the Western markets for extremely huge profits? The foreseeable facts were that in doing so our industries could not compete, that manufacturing business could only survive by uprooting their plants and outsourcing virtually everything to China. It was also clearly foreseen [or ought to have been if anyone was awake at the switch] that in 20 years of opening trade with China in 1979 that each of our Western nations would be transformed from creditor nations to debtor nations.
If the international banking cartel did not foresee any of this then that is just one reason they and all of the oligarch families ought to be incarcerated and stripped of all of their holdings for their stupidity. However, they are not stupid. They take pride in announcing things like they plan 50 to 100 years in advance, and so economically they must have clearly seen that their China project and opening our markets to such cheap goods would devastate Western economies. The fact is that they did clearly foresee what would happen. Furthermore, the plan was to milk the West with the vast profits to be made in flogging the Chinese goods on our shores.
The bankster oligarch cabal knew full well that the US-led Western business class (homo lucrum), including all of their favored minions, could never resist the profits to be made by switching manufacturing to China, no matter what the great fleecing operation would do to the economies of their own nations. They would be attracted to all of the business opportunities like flies to shit. Besides, was it not the case that the wealth of the world should be more evenly distributed for “peace and development”, and that with respect to development did not the same Few claim to own virtually everything anyway?
And what of all of the great Rothchild ventures with China for the planned silk-road trade routes spanning all over Asia to the EU and into the Middle East with a Greater Israel to be a major trade hub, with trade to and from the EU, China, India, and Africa? What about those plans? Did it matter if every Western nation would be debt-rigged in the process to the point of economic bankruptcy? Not at all.
The UN global plans for development and top-down centralized controls freed homo lucrum from any real nationalist loyalties and ties, unless of course they were still a useful and completely owned nation such as the the US or the UK, or one of the prodigy nations such as China and Israel. Coincidentally, the UN Agendas were crafted by the same banksters and oligarchs who fleeced the West with cheap Chinese goods from their joint ventures in China and their many off-shore middlemen supply companies. We see many of them at Davos. They are the internationalists who claim to be spreading the development dream everywhere but at the same time are completely oblivious to the process of nation deconstruction, ethnic homogenization, and absorption of the weaker and more-dependent nation states into the multilateral framework of the major power-block nations, all scheduled, in any case, to be debt-rigged into a centralized financial system and another global currency Ponzi scheme.
As for their prodigy nation, China, is it now completely out of their control, or are they really running that nation? If it is such a giant surpassing the US in productivity, wealth, and military might, then was that also planned and foreseen by the Rothschild cartel and by Western homo lucrum, or were they just stupid?
