Want to see what China's island bases in the South China Sea look like? Take a look at some of the startling images taken by Getty Images photographer Ezra Acayan in October.
They show airfields, radar installations, and military aircraft and warships stationed in the Spratly Islands, which are about 400 miles from the Chinese coast. Beijing has used both natural and artificial islands to build up its military capabilities in the area....

Coming to America.
I saw one pic, and then a bunch of China lockdown pics.
Anyway, we see China is expanding militarily, but regressing socially.
It will be interesting to see if they ever revolt.
At present, China isn’t.
A fear monger wrote an article to get a paycheck........ that’s the story
I guess Michael Peckerhead thinks ONLY the USA and NATO are allowed to project military power, doncha know. /spit
Pretty big trees on those islands.
China is attempting to project beyond it’s borders
That is much different
Turns out the context of “Taken” means stolen by Getty by means of copywriting as many public photos as they can find.
Easy targeting...Just hit the island, hit a target.
“...that a top US commander says China has fully militarized”
Oh, that’s ok, we have to save the DNC Piggybank (Ukraine) from those big, bad, Russians. No need to worry about China, not one bit.
I doubt it because china is getting ready to go to war and that’s a good way to stop a revolt right there send them all to the front lines if they try to vote
Would they arm potential revolutionaries?
“May China live in interesting times.”
As the U.S. and it’s allies demonstrated to Saddam Hussein, before we hanged him, above ground FIXED military installations can be obliterated in a couple of hours which was also demonstrated to America on December 7, 1941.
I clicked on “Continue Reading” and saw 7 stunning pictures of what the chinee are doing on these manufactured islands. Gotta do SOMETHING with all that money they used to have.
Thank you.
At least China doesn’t have a real estate bubble...
You aren’t going to storm that island with a feminized marine corps that teaches woke, and has trannies, homos and women or even amtracs and tanks.
And Biden says he’s on vacation huh.
Trees.
Are they real?
How quickly did they grow? Where do they get the water? Maybe the trees use salt water, not fresh.
And what is hidden in those large square ‘groves’?
Or the trees are food and firewood. Or to make lumber to build Nike shoe factories out there.
made in China - made by China - shoddy work already falling to ruin.
