The Real Story

According to analysis by CNN, satellite imagery and government data show that China has significantly expanded more than 60 % of 136 known missile-production and missile-force facilities between 2020 and 2025, adding over 2 million square meters of new built-space. The built-up areas include new towers, bunkers and hangars, and in some cases visible missile components. The rapid expansion is interpreted by analysts as China positioning itself for a new arms race and strengthening its ability for regional deterrence and global military competition.
