Satellite Imagery: China Staging Mock Invasion of Taiwan?

 

 

Images from an Inner Mongolia training base show what looks like a replica of central Taipei.

A time series of satellite images confirms that in 2014 and early 2015 China constructed for military training purposes a building that closely resembles Taiwan’s Presidential Office Building in Taipei. The new building, at the PLA’s expansive Zhurihe combat training base in Inner Mongolia, is situated on a newly constructed grid of streets and buildings that has similarities to the center of Taiwan’s capital city.
