US strikes on Iran force China to move its strategic assets to deep underground shelters
US strikes on Iran force China - According to the latest news, the Chinese government has launched large-scale projects aimed at placing its critical assets in deeper underground shelters. This initiative is being implemented against the backdrop of rising tensions in the region and growing concerns about strategic security.
The main reason for Beijing's decision is the strikes carried out by "bunker-buster" type bombs used by the US against underground nuclear facilities in Iran. These attacks demonstrated how vulnerable Iran's underground facilities are and served as a serious warning to other states.
The "South China Morning Post" (SCMP) reported earlier this month that Chinese energy experts have proposed the creation of an extensive underground infrastructure network to protect strategic energy sources and other vital assets in the country's western region.
This project is an integral part of China's strategy to strengthen its national security and increase its resilience against potential future military attacks. Underground shelters are considered an effective solution for protecting vital infrastructure.
With this initiative, Beijing is trying to make itself more resilient against new threats emerging on the international stage. This situation is another sign that strategic competition among global powers is becoming increasingly fierce.
