The Chicoms are marching.

The VietCong aren't too happy with the ChiComs in this neck of the woods, either.

I remember reading a few years back, that there were at least three nations making claims regarding the Spratleys. China wants to develop a choke point for access to the Indian Ocean from the Pacific, or at least make it more difficult to gain access from this region.

China put a military base on one of the islands around 2000, give or take a couple of years.
