Jane’s Reveals China’s New Nuclear Naval Base Through Satellite Photograph Analysis
LONDON (28 April 2008) -- Jane’s analysis of high-resolution commercially available satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe has allowed Jane’s to verify the existence of China’s new nuclear naval base.
The confirmation of these strategic developments demonstrates the satellite imagery analysis capability recently acquired by Jane’s. Utilising commercially available satellite imagery, Jane’s is able to combine imagery intelligence with its global network of contributors and in-house experts to offer unrivalled strategic and security analysis.
While China is displaying no overt aggression, Jane’s analysis of the DigitalGlobe satellite images shows that Beijing appears to be quietly building a major underground nuclear naval base, which could mean an increase in its strategic capability not only in the South China Sea, but also considerably further afield.
Jane’s can confirm that the satellite pictures show that China is constructing a major underground nuclear submarine base near Sanya, on Hainan Island off its southern coast. Although Asian military sources have disclosed this fact to Jane’s as far back as 2002, high-resolution commercially available satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe provides independent verification
The extent of construction indicates the Sanya base (also known as Yulin) could become a key future base for People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) aircraft carriers and other power-projection ships. In December 2007, perhaps in conjunction with a major PLAN exercise the previous month, the PLAN moved its first Type 094 second-generation nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) to Sanya.
This identification of an underground submarine base and the positioning of China’s most advanced sub-surface combatants at Sanya could have implications for China’s control of the South China Sea and the strategically vital straits in the area.
Further satellite imagery suggests the construction of Sanya has been supported by a gradual military build-up in the Paracel Islands over the last 20 years and the transformation of the Chinese-occupied features in the Spratly Island group into assets that could support a range of military operations.
Christian Le Miere, e ditor for Jane’s Intelligence Review , commented: “ China’s nuclear and naval build-up at Sanya underlines Beijing’s desire to assert tighter control over this region. China’s increasing dependence on imported petroleum and mineral resources has contributed to an intensified Chinese concern about defending its access to vital sea lanes, particularly to its south. It is this concern that in large part is driving China’s development of power-projection naval forces such as aircraft carriers and long-range nuclear submarines.”
China has pursued this build-up at Sanya with little fanfare, offering no public explanations regarding its plan to base nuclear weapons or advanced naval platforms there.
For both regional and extra-regional powers, it will be difficult to ignore that China is now building a major naval base at Sanya and may be preparing to house and protect a large proportion of its nuclear forces here and even operate them from this base. This development so close to the Southeast Asian sea lanes so vital to the economies of Asia can only cause concern far beyond these straits.

Jane的揭示了中国的新的核海军基地，通过卫星照片分析
伦敦（ 2008年4月28日） -J ane的分析高分辨率商用卫星图像从d igitalglobe已经允许J ane的，以核实是否存在中国的新的核海军基地。
确认这些战略的事态发展表明，卫星图像分析的能力，最近收购了由Jane的。利用现有的商业卫星图像， Jane的是能够结合起来，图像情报，其全球网络的贡献者和在公司内部的专家提供无可匹敌的战略和安全分析。
而中国是显示没有公然侵略， Jane的分析研究digitalglobe卫星图像显示，北京似乎是悄悄地建设一个大型地下核海军基地，这可能意味着增加了在其战略能力不仅是在中国南海，但也更远。
Jane的可以肯定地说，卫星图片显示，中国正在建设的一大地下核潜艇基地附近的三亚，在海南岛起飞，其南部海岸。虽然亚洲的军事消息人士透露，这其实Jane的作为，早在2002年，高分辨率的商业卫星图像从digitalglobe提供了独立的核查
程度的建设标志着三亚基地（也称为榆林）有可能成为未来的主要基地，为人民的解放军海军（计划）的航空母舰和其他权力，投影船舶。在2007年12月，或许在联同一项重大计划，演习前一个月，该计划提出了第一次一旦094型核潜艇的第二代核弹道导弹潜艇（ ssbn ）三亚。
这个鉴定的一个地下潜艇基地和定位中国的最先进的次表层战斗在三亚可能影响中国的控制和南海的战略至关重要的海峡在该地区。
进一步卫星图像表明，建设三亚一直支持一个渐进的军事集结起来，在西沙群岛在过去20年中和改造中国的特点在被占领的南沙群岛岛屿组成的资产可以支持一系列军事行动。
基督教乐miere ，电子ditor为简氏情报检讨，评论说： “中国的核和海军集结在三亚强调，北京的愿望，断言，严格控制这一地区。中国的日益依赖进口石油和矿产资源作出了贡献加紧中国关心维护其获得重要的海上通道，尤其是其南部地区。这是这方面的关注，即在大型的一部分，是推动中国的发展，电力投影的海军力量，例如航空母舰和长程的核潜艇“ 。
中国一直奉行这个集结在三亚几乎没有大张旗鼓，提供没有公开解释，就其计划中相应的核武器或先进的海军平台。
为区域和区域外的权力，将难以忽视，中国现正兴建的一个主要海军基地，在三亚和可能准备向内务和保护较大的比例，其核力量在这里和运作，他们甚至从这个基地。这方面的发展如此接近东南亚海上通道，使重要的经济体，亚洲只能引起关注远远超出了这些海峡。
