China’s bomb test reveals 'plot to wipe out US Navy'

 

--

 CHINA's "aggressive" bomb test appears part of a 20-year strategy to defeat the US Navy by destroying ports as Beijing prepares for war, experts say.

Wargames from Beijing have escalated in recent months and the country's military has been conducting tests using underwater explosives.

Images from the state's mouthpiece The Global Times shows a large gush of water rising into the air during a simulated attack at an unnamed naval port.

Thousands of pieces of data were collected by sensors as computers analyzed how much of the part had been destroyed.

Captain Zhao Pengduo, Deputy Director of the Naval Port Demolition Test Program, told the outlet the weapons were designed for a surprise attack.

He said: “If we can use stealthy ways, like underwater explosions to destroy the ports, we can kill off the enemy's war potentials.”

Michael Beckley, author of Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the World's Sole Superpower, told The Sun that the port test is just the “latest sign” that China is gearing up for war.

He said: “The threat is urgent. China has a window of opportunity to invade or blockade Taiwan in the next few years, before Taiwan and the United States finish upgrading their defenses.”
