My Comments on the Erection of the HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge From the Angle of the Security of National Defense

When considering whether to erect a bridge to link HK, Zhuhai and Macao, we must take account of various factors, analyze its profits and distructions, and think about it dialectically. This paper puts forward some considerations for postponing the erection of such a bridge. It is advised that when the bridge is erected in the future the requirements in national defense should be carried out, according to which the navigation capacity at the Zhujiang River Mouth, the loading capacity of the bridge as well as the maneuver and defense capacity during the bridge construction should be stressed. From the angle of preparedness against war and ensuring navigation capacity, a proposal on building a benthic tunnel is put forward in the paper.
