The Propaganda Center is a high tier tech building of China in Generals.

Background

This building allows Chinese generals to access the most advanced Chinese weapons and tactics in the field. Its primary role is akin to Battle Lab or Tech Center. A commander requires a Propaganda Center in his base of operations to access the Nuclear Missile Silo, Overlord Tank and a number of other units.

Trivia

On the left side of the Propaganda Center, there is a yellow sign, which has the Chinese words "提防偷鞋" (Beware of thieves stealing shoes) written on it. This is very strange and awkward considering that a place where highly classified military information is stored can be infiltrated by regular thieves who steal shoes.
