Guy might end up getting fired, let's see if this is picked up bey international media, or If there is a Chinese reaction to the same.For a western military official this guy is talking a lot about politics...Looks like he downed too much Scotch.. thanks to Indian Navy..

Why is US worried about possible Chinese military base in Equatorial Guinea?

The latest Pentagon report had noted the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) was now the world's largest navy, “with an overall battle force of approximately 355 ships and submarines, including approximately more than 145 major surface combatants.”
US intelligence believed China was intending to build a “permanent military presence” in the tiny African nation of Equatorial Guinea. Such a facility would be significant as it would give China its first base on the Atlantic Ocean.
This would mean “Chinese warships would be able to rearm and refit opposite the East Coast of the US—a threat that is setting off alarm bells at the White House and Pentagon,” The Wall Street Journal reported.
unlike us and the west , the chinese are playing a entire different game.
According to them Ukraine joining nato is their free will and in no way does it threaten Russia.

This is awesome news. For those who don't know, this project plans to drill a tunnel starting from Siachen basecamp to reach Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO), straight under the mighty Himalayas for at least a length of 15 km.

It will be totally an engineering marvel, the world will remember us for this feat.

The question comes, is it even worth it ? A multi-billion dollar project located at such a remote place that connects a place equally barren and remote ? It will be a purely strategic project, sure, but other than that there will be absolutely no use of this massive piece of infrastructure.
Yes, very much chances, that doesn't mean that we will not reciprocate with proportionate actions, they too have vulnerable spots, and you are aware of it.

Tunnel from Siachen basecamp is a bit exaggeration and oversimplification on my part, but the length of the tunnel will depend on what Army wants.
Even the asal uttar will be nothing in front of The level of destruction that Chinese armoured thrust will face in DBO .
thats the sasar la pass with the glacier , IMHO u only need tunnel across 1-2 km.Tunnel from Siachen basecamp is a bit exaggeration and oversimplification on my part, but the length of the tunnel will depend on what Army wants.
The green line is below the snow line, which means even in winter, it will be accessible with minimal maintenance. The blue line is above snow line, and in winter it is basically blocked under meters of snow, and the light blue line is glaciers.
We at least need a tunnel under the glaciers because you cannot maintain a metalled-road on glaciers. The minimal length is 9 km of tunnel straight under the glaciers. However ideal will be to also tunnel the blue line, which is above snow line and will be anything between 15-19 km.
wonder whats really the point of this all weather tunnel / road ?
