'Secret' Chinese Submarine Base

(Hainan Island, China) The communist Chinese People's Liberation Army is building an underground nuclear submarine base near Sanya on Hainan Island. It is reported to be a "vast, James Bond-style edifice capable of concealing up to 20 nuclear-powered submarines, which will enable China to project its power across the region."

DigitalGlobe QuickBird satellite images of the base are here and here.

The Chinese government is presumably less than pleased that the existence of the base has been exposed to the public.
