Did China Construct a 5,000 Kilometer Tunnel?
» by GI Korea in: China
Some how this 5,000 kilometer tunnel sounds impossible to have been constructed, especially in secret:
The Chinese Army is believed to have built an underground “Great Wall” that stretches for more than 5,000 km in the Hebei region of northern China. Citing the People’s Liberation Army’s official newsletter, the Ta Kung Pao daily of Hong Kong on Saturday said China’s strategic missile squadron, the Second Artillery Division, built a massive underground tunnel to conceal nuclear weapons, including the Dongfeng 5 intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 13,000 km.
Since 1995, the Second Artillery Division has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers to build a network of tunnels stretching for more than 5,000 km below the mountain regions of Hebei, China’s state-run CCTV reported. “A missile base has been built hundreds of meters underground and can withstand several nuclear attacks,” CCTV said. “People refer to the network of tunnels connecting to the missile base as the ‘Underground Great Wall.’” In March 2008, CCTV broadcast a documentary which revealed that the PLA had been building underground facilities enabling it to launch a counterstrike in case of a nuclear attack.

They buried the workers like they did when they were done building those clay warriors?

I’m sure this will be but the latest “#1″ achievement of China over the rest of the world. It’s tough keeping up with the Joneses, but it may be a chasing of the wind anyway as all of the Guinness world records are at risk of falling to the Über-achieving ÜberPanda…
