The media reported on China's nuclear buildup

China is actively building up its nuclear potential. This was reported on February 15 by The New York Times (NYT), citing experts.

In the lush, mist-shrouded valleys of southwest China, satellite imagery shows the country's accelerating nuclear buildup, a force designed to pave the way for a new era of superpower rivalry.

According to the analysis of satellite images of objects located in the Zitong Valley of Sichuan province, there is an active construction of bunkers and defensive structures. In addition, signs of work with potentially dangerous substances were found on the territory of the facility.

Similar changes have been recorded at the facility in the Pidong Valley, where, according to experts, China produces nuclear warheads with plutonium. Satellite images of this complex show new ventilation systems and structures designed to remove heat.
