Topic: China Builds New Military Facilities in South China Sea - page 2. (Read 1380 times)

The Americans must quickly build military bases in the islands which are currently under the control of allied nations such as the Philippines. Also, they need to provide quality weapons to these nations. The US can also consider helping India, which is currently having strained relations with China.

Yes I too agree with you that the America should not provoke the Norkor and instead help countries near China to stop them building facilities on the place they did not own.  China was making its modern way of invasion to expand their territory.  They are using their manpower and wealth to do invasion as maybe they are lacking resources right now to feed its people.  But will Trump amicable in talking with this case as the US owe China big time.

As usual, the Chinese are creating unnecessary provocations. I suggest the Americans to take a more active role in the conflict here, rather than wasting their time and effort in provoking Kim Jong Un in North Korea.

I've recently seen a vid on Youtube about Doklam. No wonder India is really pissed off. China getting a foot hold there means it would be possible for them to cut-off India's north-eastern states, like Megalhaya and Sikkim.

I think that the only solution is for all the other countries to unite (including Japan, India and Taiwan), and to defend their territories from the Chinese aggression. Now it seems like China may attack the Indian forces in the Doklam plateau in Bhutan. In that case, all the other nations must send their troops to Doklam, to support the Indians.

It's really threatening not only in my country, the Philippines but also the other claimants of disputed islands in SCS. China is aggresive and a bully to other countries, they can't respect the countries who are also claming the islands.
Their 9 dash line is a fvcking bs though.

China has built a new military facility on the islands of the South China Sea. The Chinese military project was revealed from a satellite image reported by a US think tank.

The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), a section of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), reported in its report that a new satellite image shows missile shelters as well as radar and communications facilities built on Fiery Cross, Mischief and Subi Reef In the Spratly Islands, South China Sea.

The United States criticized the construction of China's military facilities on the artificial islands for fear that Washington's regional navigation freedom is missing.

Last month, a US Navy warship sailed within 12 nautical miles on the Mischief Reef with a patrol claim of freedom of navigation. The warship patrol near the Chinese-made island was the first since Donald Trump served as US president.

Washington accuses Beijing of militarization in the disputed region. But China denied it.

Islands in the South China Sea are disputed between China and other Asian countries such as Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.

China, according to AMTI, has previously built four new missile shelters at Fiery Cross Reef. Mischief and Subi each have eight shelters.

In a recent AMTI report, it was mentioned that a large dome was recently installed in Fiery Cross and another one is under construction. The facility is a great communication or radar system. Two other domes, according to AMTI, were also built on Mischief Reef.

"Beijing can now use military assets, including fighter jets and missile launchers to move to the Spratly Islands at any time," the AMTI report said.

Beijing's government and military have not responded to the report of the US think tank. However, China has insisted that the islands in the South China Sea are its sovereign territory, where Beijing claims almost the entire South China Sea region.

How do you think about this ?

This news was a year ago but still they are managing to build facilities in that area and the philippine government cant do anything about it. We all know that area was philippine teritory.

China has better chances to win a war against usa in the golf of mexico than america winning in the scs. Which nation can fight the biggest manufacturing power on earth in it's sewage water? Unless the goal is to kill as many as possible american patriots...

The PLA Navy is the weakest component of the Chinese armed forces. Unlike the Army and the Air Force, the PLAN does not posses ultra-modern equipment and weapons. They are miles behind the United States Navy in terms of battle capabilities.

There are two solutions to this issue. The first one is to leave the entire South China Sea to the Chinese. Considering the weak military might of nations such as the Philippines and Vietnam, I don't think that a military confrontation by these nations against China is a viable option. The other option is for the United States to take a lead role, and set up naval and army facilities in the Spratly Islands group.

No one really in that region has the strength to challenge china militarily so they're bullying small countries likenthe philippines. I mean what can these countries do right? And western countries also will risk war if they initiated a military response since it's beyond their scope already
