Nonsense. Pure, unadulterated bullshit. As with the D.U. M. B. urban legend, where are the millions of cubic yards of spoil from such a structure? The machine that bores a useful tunnel is around the size of a medium-sized ship, where is it? The “starter” hole would be large enough to bury said ship and be easily visible from the air and probably from space. Where are the pictures of that and the resulting spoil bank?
Actually factual. What's kinda dumb is that so many people immediately LEAP to the conclusion that it's some sort of secret tunnel or that China is leading it to undermine .... the USA.
The tunnel is part of a much larger project, and a South Korean consortium has the contract. They subcontracted the CRTG to do the actual tunnel work.
It's a no brainer that where a CCP China company is involved they are going to do dodgy stuff that advances CCP operations, but the project itself isn't a CCP project.

Thanks, fren.
You can see the design and structure of the boring machine somewhere online. I glanced across it, but didn't do any more than that.
