According to NATO's analysis, China is massively building bases for land-based intercontinental missiles. The deployment locations of China's new missiles are all close to the Russian border.

Why is this? Is it true?

Russian experts have conducted research and analysis to share with everyone.

As early as 2021, the U.S. military intelligence agency, the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), reported that China was actively building nuclear forces near the Russian border.

Experts discovered at least three huge missile fields near Yumen, Hami, and Ordos.

Why near the Russian border?

In 2017, China deployed solid-fuel intercontinental missiles similar to the RS-24 Yars "Dongfeng-41" in Heilongjiang Province, which borders Russia.

At the time, analysts and experts had two views: some believed this might be dangerous, while others thought it was a show of strength.

However, Chinese sources said this was "a gift for Trump," as the deployment occurred just four days after Trump's first inauguration as president.

In the U.S., people believed that China's main goal was containment, and the further north the missile, the easier it would be to reach U.S. territory.

U.S. experts claimed that China's missiles could cross the Arctic to reach U.S. territory.

In addition, this route allowed the U.S. to keep all its allies in the region—South Korea and Japan—in sight.

Meanwhile, Russian experts were not particularly concerned about the appearance of such objects just 600 kilometers away from Russia.

Therefore, Sergey Lipov, Chairman of the Presidium of the All-Russian Organization "Russian Officers," told First Russian, that China made decisions to ensure its own security based on the current situation.

In this regard, China decided to strengthen its nuclear forces. The range of these missiles allows them to be deployed nationwide, including in northern areas adjacent to former Soviet territories.

Russia-China relations.

However, it is necessary to understand that in the familiar understanding of the term, China does not form alliances.

Now, China interacts with different countries when necessary, and these connections may change over time. You should not have illusions—Moscow and Beijing's relationship today is based on common interests and similar observations of world process development, but China has never taken on obligations related to Russia.

If the situation worsens, China may more actively support Russia.

However, the deployment of missile bases in China's north is also an important factor in exerting pressure on the U States through the Arctic and the Arctic Ocean.

Russia also considers this strategy as part of its pressure on the United States.

China has no alliance obligations with anyone.

This is a great civilization with a history of five thousand years. For them, partners are more useful than allies in the complete sense.

-Does this mean that Russia should not worry about China's military bases near its border now?

-Absolutely correct, today’s Russia is not seen as a threat by China. Because China is interested in the stability of its northern border and prefers to avoid conflicts wherever possible to prevent them.

For Russia, it is important to objectively assess the situation and consider different scenarios for future development—it is the same for China. We must prepare for any choice and act according to reality.

In fact, what we see today is that the "nuclear" reason is the justification for Israel's attack on Iran.

Note, this is really just a pretext.

Because even U.S. intelligence agencies admit that Tehran still needs several years to make its own nuclear bomb—a real nuclear bomb, not a "dirty" one.

However, according to international experts, Israel itself is a nuclear state, although it secretly produced terrible weapons without the approval of the world's "nuclear club."

Meanwhile, China, which is actively competing with the U.S. in geopolitics and military affairs, is building up its nuclear capabilities. This is due to the need for strategic parity, strengthening its image, and defense.

According to China's plans, in the next 5-7 years, China intends to continue building nuclear capabilities at the same or even faster pace to approach the scale of the U.S. arsenal.

The aim is to create a situation where Americans cannot even consider using nuclear weapons in a conflict with China.

In summary, the deployment of missiles and launchers in areas bordering Russia happened for geographical reasons: they deployed new weapons precisely because these are sparsely populated regions, not because they are targeting Russia.
