China's weapon of the future - The Tunnel Boring Machine, TBM

 This massive TBM will soon be banned by the Americans for export because of its dual use capability. Oops, oops, the Americans don't have such machines. China is the biggest manufacturer of TBMs in the world. And the machine has served China very well, claiming credits for all the tunnels across China to facilitate the more than 50,000 km of high speed railway tracks, more than the rest of the world combined. 

This TBM is the new hero of China. And China is starting to control and limit its export outside China. While boring tunnels is the expertise of the TBMs through mountains and under the sea for transportation, many did not know how important this machine is to China's defensive strategy against nuclear attacks by hostile countries. China has been quietly digging and boring deeper into the earth, under mountains, under deserts, to build super infrastructure, super cities underground with these machines to be saved from a massive attack from bunker buster bombs and nuclear bombs. 

Iran is a very good example of how this strategy works, building their defences and critical facilities deep under the mountains. With the TBMs, China can build numerous underground facilities with ease, across the country, across all terrains. Such facilities not only ensure second strike capabilities, but also the chances of survival over a long period underground in a nuclear attack. Surprise nuclear attacks are not going to do irreparable damages to China when there is a parallel network of cities underground.

The TBMs are China's open secret and indispensable weapon of self defence. It is only right and proper that China protects this technology and TBMs and control its export overseas. It is a big puzzle how much China has developed underground to protect itself and its population. The world is seeing China only surface deep. How expansive is China's underground infrastructure is up to one's imagination.

Don't think China will sell these machines freely to everyone. These machines play a big role to China's survival and the continued existence of the Chinese Civilisation. No sneak attack is going to take out China. China is quietly preparing for all eventualities against the savages and barbarians, including the one next door. The barbarians and savages have been toying with the idea of sneak nuclear strikes at China and any country they wish to destroy, like Russia, North Korea, Iran etc etc. They refuse to give up the first use of nuclear weapons. Now they are planning to nuke Iran.
