    China's militarization of manmade islands in the South China Sea is "for the purposes of intimidation and coercion," according to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis https://cbsn.ws/2kJNkhH pic.twitter.com/kZhDnOfNXS

        How many of those US bases are illegal and designed to take rights away from other states? Those Chinese bases are in international waters and some even in the EEZs of other states and they seek to deny access to others.

        Actually, the US and others have been talking about and addressing the island building for quite some time. China also promised it wouldn't militarize. Of course, it was a lie from the start. Now, watch the areas around the Benham Rise. That's next.

        Of course we did. And they are now surveying the Benham Rise. That area is next.

        Manmade islands anywhere is probably an environmental abomination. Anyone ever mentioned that to them?
