Massive desert plot in China to ‘hold up to 110 nuclear silos’

A huge plot in China with the potential to hold up to 110 nuclear silos has been discovered by American researchers.

The expanse of land in the Gobi desert, near the city of Hami in the Xinjiang province, has 14 completed silos and the ground is cleared to build another 19, researchers at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) said.

It could have up to 110 underground silos built on it judging by the “grid-like outline of the entire complex,” said the non-profit global think tank that pledges to use “science for a safer, more informed world”.
