Don't get to carried away. If there is a nuclear war, those shelters won't be much use.

Small man made dirt shelters have shown effectiveness in nuke war.

Why would those Chinese professional shelters not work?

This Chinese prep is scary

bomb shelters....most of them built in the 1960s and 1970s.

...before the invention of bunker buster bombs.

"If there is a nuclear war, those shelters won't be much use."

I would agree that would be the case in urban areas, but, as shown by the recent election, most of the US is not urban.

The rural, and especially suburban, population would benefit dramatically from small blast/fallout shelters and some plentiful food and supplies, especially if there was a more limited nuclear war, such as would occur with China.

It is shameful that the urbanites managed to sell the suburbanites and rural folks on the myth that nuclear preparation is a bad thing.

It's good of the Chinese to show us where to plant our bunker bombs ahead of time, eh?

I have heard some weird theories in my life, but this is a lulu. China has fought to propaganda wars during its history; one for internal use and one for external use. There has been of late a number of disturbances within China and the opening of the bomb shelters could be for domestic consumption. The quick response to the floods and the opening bomb shelters are design to show the beneficence of Communist Party. The number one fear of the Communist Party isn't Taiwanese independence, but a popular uprising in the same vane as Mao's peoples revolution.
