10 times bigger than the Pentagon, spread over 1,500 acres, China building 'Beijing Military City' under..., big tension for US due to...
People often say that trying to understand China is like trying to measure the height of a mountain hidden in fog, you can't see much, but you know it is massive. China isn't just a country, it's a mysterious world filled with modern technology, silent strength, and secret planning.
China believes in winning the battle before the war even begins. Its strategy is simple: don't show anything, but do a lot behind the scenes.
And right now, China is quietly building something underground that has caught the attention of the world. There are no signboards, no official names, and no public maps. But satellite images don't lie. They have revealed something strange being built just outside Beijing and it doesn't look like a normal city. It feels more like a scene from a spy thriller movie. What's being built beneath 1,500 acres of land in China?
This hidden area covers about 1,500 acres. No drones are allowed to fly over it. No one is allowed to take pictures. And if you get close, the guards simply say, 'Go away, there's nothing here.' But if there's really nothing, then why so much digging underground?
Why are global intelligence agencies calling it the 'Doomsday Fortress'?
Experts believe that China is building a massive underground bunker, much larger than even US's Pentagon. It is being called the 'Beijing Military City.'

China's military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), is building a massive underground complex in western Beijing, which U.S. intelligence agencies believe could be a wartime command center.
According to American officials and intelligence experts, this secret site is spread across at least 1,500 acres and may be up to 10 times larger than the Pentagon.

Indias rights in WTO to retaliate on US auto tariffs wont affect trade deal talks: Official
New Delhi, Jul 5 (PTI) India's decision to reserve its rights to impose retaliatory duties on the US over imposition of tariffs on auto parts is a procedural move under the WTO agreement on safeguards and it will not affect ongoing negotiations on the proposed trade pact between the two countries, an official said. India on Friday proposed imposing retaliatory duties under the WTO (World Trade Organisation) norms against the US over American tariffs on imports of the country's auto parts in the name of safeguard measures. The proposed suspension of concessions or other obligations would take the form of an increase in tariffs on selected products originating in the US, according to a notification of the WTO being circulated at the request of India. "The notification in WTO is an essential step to reserve India's right, in accordance with the provisions of the agreement on safeguard and does not prejudice ongoing discussions, deliberations, negotiations for finalizing tranche one or subsequent tranches of India-US bilateral trade agreement (BTA) in any way," the official told PTI. The two countries have aimed to conclude the first phase of the BTA by fall (September-October) this year. The agreement is aimed at more than doubling bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030 from the current USD 191 billion. Both India and the US are signatories to the Agreement on Safeguard at the WTO which empowers a WTO Member to suspend its tariff concessions to another member who introduces safeguard measures on its imports. On 26 March 2025, the US announced a 25 per cent ad valorem tariff on the import of automobiles and on certain automobile parts, including, from India under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, 1974. "India treated it as a safeguard measure and gave a notice for consultation under the WTO agreement earlier. Now, as per the provisions of that agreement, after completion of 30 days period for consultation, as a next step, India has notified that it is reserving its right to suspend concession on equivalent US exports to India as a response to enhanced tariff of 25 per cent imposed by the US on Indian exports of auto components," the official said. Before the first phase, India and the US are negotiating to finalise an interim trade agreement before July 9, which marks the end of the 90-day suspension period of the Trump tariffs imposed on dozens of countries including India. US President Donald Trump on Friday reportedly stated that he has signed tariff letters to 10-12 countries to inform them about import duties to be levied on various products, and these would be sent on Monday. Meanwhile, sources have stated that there are uncertainties over the announcement of the interim trade agreement between India and the US before July 9. India does not enter into any trade agreement based on deadlines and will accept the proposed trade deal with the US only when it is fully finalised, properly concluded and in the national interest, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has said on Friday. FTAs are possible only when both sides get benefitted and it should be a win-win agreement, he has said.

Xi Jinping disappears mysteriously, sparks talks about his successor, these 5 persons could become China president
New Delhi: President Xi Jinping, who is considered a superpower in China, has been missing for the last two weeks. He has not been seen in public anywhere. After the news of the Chinese President's disappearance, speculation of a change of power in China has intensified. These speculations gained further momentum when reports came out that Jinping will not even attend the upcoming BRICS summit to be held in Brazil. This is happening for the first time since he took office. In such a situation, the question arises that if Xi Jinping's rule ends in China, then who will replace him. Let us know about some of the names that are in discussion at this time. Who is second powerful leader? There is no clear successor, but General Zhang Youxia in particular remains important. General Zhang is the first vice president and key military face of China's powerful Central Military Commission. In such a situation, his support is important for the next successor. Senior party leaders close to former President Hu Jintao are said to be supporting him, which has strengthened his position. General Zhang is believed to be strengthening his influence in Xi's absence. Who are the main contenders? Li Qiang: Li Qiang, a longtime aide of Xi Jinping, was appointed prime minister in 2023. His leadership during Shanghai's strict COVID-19 lockdown and recent high-profile international appearances, including replacing Xi Jinping at the G-20, show his high status. As the head of the State Council, he oversees China's economy, making him the second most powerful person in the government. Ding Shujiang: Ding, who has served as Xi Jinping's chief of staff, is seen as his closest aide. He has risen rapidly without assuming the role of provincial leadership. Xi's blessings are said to be behind this. Now he manages key areas of policy coordination. His proximity to power makes him a key player. Wang Huning: He is currently the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Wang is known as the party's chief theorist and has served under three presidents. His influence on ideology gives him strategic importance. However, he lacks administrative experience, making him more likely to become a kingmaker than a king. Zhao Leji: A former leader of the anti-corruption movement, Zhao is a senior member of the Politburo Standing Committee and serves as chairman of the National People's Congress. His current role in the national legislature gives him visibility and authority, especially in constitutional and legal matters. He is a key figure in the list of potential successors. Li Hongzhong: Senior Chinese Communist Party leader and Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress, Li Hongzhong is also in the race. Li has risen from the regional ranks. Though he is not as visible internationally, his influence within the party structure and loyal support for Xi makes him one of the most influential contenders.

‘Free-good promises sound good, don't work': Ex-AOC supporter sounds alarm for Zohran Mamdani's youth base
AOC (left), Zohran Mamdani (AP) A former supporter of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has issued a strong warning to young New York City voters following socialist Zohran Mamdani 's win in the Democratic primary. In a video posted on X, Lucy Biggers said,'If I was 25, I would've been obsessed with Zohran,' 'Now I'm 35, and I've grown up. The feel-good promises of free college, free food, free housing might sound great, but they don't work,' she added. She goes on to share her opinion that socialist policies drive wealthy residents away, making the cities poorer, leading to higher taxes for those who remain, with few benefits in return. Biggers, a media professional, says she played a key role in transforming AOC from a little-known figure into a political powerhouse in 2018. 'I met AOC when she was basically a nobody. And I really thought she had something special going on, so I booked her for an interview at our studios,' Biggers told The New York Post. She created a viral video for the media outlet NowThis, which Ocasio-Cortez's campaign eventually paid to promote on social media. 'They downloaded it, and they used it as a campaign asset… they used it as a digital ad,' said Biggers, who now works with The Free Press as social media editor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Manter a massa muscular após os 50 anos depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo Back in 2018, AOC sent shock waves across the American political landscape when she defeated 10-term incumbent Representative Joe Crowley in the Democratic primaries for the 14th Congressional district of New York. Later that November she went on to win the midterm elections. 'The video got her message out. At that time, no one cared about AOC, she was not on cable news,' Biggers recalled. Seven years later, Biggers, now a mother of two and a homeowner in Connecticut, has started to see things differently. She said the pandemic and the effects of government spending were major turning points for her. 'As you grow up, you start to see the world less black and white. You can't sell this bill of goods that promises to create a utopia in America,' said Biggers, who works in the city. 'There's a glorification of socialism among young people. They don't know what happened in Cuba, Venezuela, the USSR. They glamorize these countries and are indoctrinated into thinking the US is bad. It's very naive… it's embarrassing,' she said, talking about her own views back in time.. She went on to add that while the voter enthusiasm for Mamdani is genuine, it's completely misguided. 'It's young people who want to make a change. And he ran a really great campaign honestly,' she said. 'But I just think it's selling a fantasy that ultimately doesn't work.'
