China builds huge military command post

A satellite image obtained by the Financial Times shows construction of a huge complex near Beijing that US intelligence believes will serve as  a military command centre at least 10 times the size of  the Pentagon.

The 605-hectare  site is made up of deep holes that military experts believe will house reinforced bunkers designed to protect leaders during any conflict, including, potentially, nuclear war.

The development is under way as the People’s Liberation Army develops new weapons and projects ahead of the forces’ centenary 2027.
