What will we gain from obtaining Malaysian support in the UN against China? Let us not forget that China is nuclear armed, veto wielding member of the Security Council. I doubt if Malaysia will support us in this issue with China. Let us not forget that Malaysia is also a claimant in the Spartly Islands and according to this article that Andres Boning has posted:

Fiery Cross Reef will be China's main base in the Spratlys By: DJ Sta. Ana, News5 April 9, 2015 From a small outpost measuring 1,032 square meters, Kagitingan Reef’s reclaimed land area is now 90,000 square meters. One side of the island is three kilometers long and 300 meters wide: large enough for a runway, support roads and apron. China’s building of an airstrip at Fiery Cross Reef is seen as a major development as they are the only claimant with no permanent airfield in the disputed area. Apart from the airstrip, another major feature of Fiery Cross Reef is the construction of a harbor that is estimated to be large enough to handle major surface warships, tankers and even possibly, submarines.

Additional reporting by Michael Cohen, Manila - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 15 April 2015 ![]() Airbus Defence and Space imagery shows changes to Fiery Cross Reef observed between February and March 2015. Noteworthy is the beginning of airfield installation in March, and the relocation of some dredging activity out of the harbour.

(© CNES 2015, Distribution Airbus DS / Spot Image / IHS) 1569027 Airbus imagery taken of Subi Reef – also in the Spratlys – on 6 February and 5 March shows land reclamation on this site too. The 6 February image shows three islands being created. By 5 March, at least nine dredgers are creating larger landmasses on the reef that if joined together could create enough land for another 3,000 m-long airstrip. While Fiery Cross Reef is to the west of the Spratly Islands archipelago, Subi Reef is on the north side of the island group and is only 25 km from Thitu / Pagasa island, which is occupied by the Philippines and has a civilian population. |
