World’s Largest Military Command Center — China Is Constructing “Super Pentagon” To Defend Its Leaders
China strives to achieve global leadership in key defense and military technologies. By 2049, the Chinese (PLA-N) Navy is expected to be comparable to the U.S. Navy.
China is building power symbols that could rival those of the U.S. The latest is a wartime military command center that could surpass the size of the Pentagon. It is planned to be the world’s largest military command center—at least ten times the size of the Pentagon.
The massive Chinese Pentagon in western Beijing will be equipped with bomb-proof bunkers for its top civil and military leadership. The bunkers are expected to act as shelter in case of a nuclear attack. The US intelligence believes that this will serve as a wartime command center.
Satellite images indicate a building complex with deep holes sprawling on a roughly 1,500-acre construction site 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing.
Construction started in mid-2024, and the project is dubbed “Beijing Military City.” According to an imagery analyst, at least 100 cranes have been working over a five-square-kilometer area to develop underground infrastructure.
