Chinese State Media Brags of Plan to Establish “Death Star” Moon Base

Beijing wants lunar base to launch missiles against any target on Earth

A report appearing in the pro-regime China Times brags that China’s launch of the Long March-3B rocket earlier this week is part of a long term plan to turn the moon into a Star Wars-style “death star” from which the PLA could launch missiles against any target on Earth.

It all sounds like something straight out of The Onion, but upon checking the sources it appears that this is indeed what Communist Party officials have been discussing this week following China’s flagship launch of a lunar rover, which is Beijing’s first spacecraft to land on the surface of an extraterrestrial body.

The article appears on the Want China Times website, the English-language outlet of the The China Times Group, which is based in Taiwan and considered to be pro-unification and pro-Beijing. The article cites the Beijing Times, which is affiliated with the People’s Daily, as the source for the original report.

Under the headline PLA dreams of turning moon into Death Star, says expert, the report cites “experts in China” who are wargaming how the moon, “Can be transformed into a deadly weapon. Like the Death Star in Star Wars, the moon could hypothetically be used as a military battle station and ballistic missiles could be launched against any military target on Earth.”

“Various weapons testing sites could also be established on the moon,” the article adds, noting that the launch of the Long March-3B rocket is the start of “a more ambitious program.”

This report again reminds us that some of Beijing’s most jingoistic and aggressive rhetoric is often hidden in plain view, with Chinese military planners perfectly willing to go on the record and brag about their agenda to turn China into a forceful military superpower.

Last month, Chinese state-run media released a map showing the locations of major U.S. cities and how they would be impacted by a nuclear attack launched from the PLA’s strategic submarine force.

Top Chinese generals have also occasionally threatened America with nuclear strikes if the U.S. becomes embroiled in any future conflict involving Taiwan.

Tensions between the United States and China are currently running high after Beijing imposed an “air defense zone” over the disputed Senkaku Islands and hinted that it may shoot down any foreign aircraft entering the area. The U.S., Japan and South Korea quickly rendered this threat toothless by performing several overflights of the area without notifying Chinese authorities.

According to the Telegraph’s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, the escalating crisis represents a “watershed moment for the world,” could signal the start of a new cold war, and means “Asia is on the cusp of a full-blown arms race.”

China has acted with increasing military aggression in recent months, first by sending warships to the coast of Syria to in September to “observe” the actions of U.S. and Russian vessels in the region and then by sailing a surveillance ship through Hawaiian waters for the very first time in an unprecedented move which was described as a provocative retaliation to America’s naval presence in the East China Sea.

It seems that Infowar.com is also a pro-regime website which brags to US.

World does not need any (American, Chinese, Russian, British, French -current PMs 5 of joke UN!- etc) showdown, enough...

Btw, Taiwan, Tibet and Hong Kong are part of China. In the past China was powerless. Time changed, no one can bite China, game over. China is not Russia to be collapsed by the world's well known power brokers!

China may eventually become another "invading imperialist" power, too. That is the dilemma of the "silent" part of the world.

Moon is currently a "common satellite", capable world powers inevitably will fight for it, hopefully over there, not on earth!

I do think China is indeed the new world power but it will be betrayed later on by the world elite. Google may say garden as I mention before but I made this a while back, thought it might be worth posting:

In a very near future, I'll be doing this in front of my cable tv again. :snack:

China is stong

The moon? seriously? You know how long it takes just to get there? ...or even from there to here? We would see that missile coming for days, there is no credibility in that story, even if its true, we can shoot it down way before it ever gets here.

okay hows 8 hours notice? ok lets say its twice that fast that makes it 4 hours tops...and im only guesing on that!

Record breaking, fast-track to the Moon: 8 hours, 35 minutes

By far the fastest mission to fly past the Moon was NASA’s New Horizons Pluto mission. This mission had a speedy launch, rockets powering the probe to over 58,000 km/hr to give it a good start on its long trip to the outer Solar System and Pluto. Although this is impressive, it’s worth keeping in mind that New Horizons was not slowing down to enter lunar orbit (like the Moon-specific missions above), it was probably still accelerating as the Moon was a dot in its rear view window. Still, it took eight hours and thirty-five minutes to cover the 380,000 km distance. Impressive.
