China Builds Another Island in South China Sea http://www.janes.com/article/43757/china-builds-another-island-in-south-china-sea?utm_campaign=[PMP]_PC5308_J360+02.10.14+_KV_Deployment&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua ![]() James Hardy, London and Sean O'Connor, Indiana - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 30 September 2014 IHS Jane's has obtained satellite imagery that further illustrates the extent of China's building of new islands in the Spratly Islands.The latest image shows a new island on Gaven Reefs, known in the Philippines as the Burgos Reef, in Vietnam as Dá Ga Ven and Dá Lc and in China as Nanxun Jiao and Xinan Jiao.China previously built a concrete platform that sat above the reef on its western side. This structure was fortified and housed anti-air and naval gun systems, along with communications equipment.However, Airbus Defence and Space satellite imagery dated 31 March and 7 August 2014 shows that between these two dates a channel was cut out of the centre of Gaven Reefs and the resultant rubble deposited to create a rectangular island that is about 300 m by 250 m. Along with a spit that leads to the channel, about 114,000 m 2 of new land has been created.As with Johnson South and Cuateron reefs - other sites of recent Chinese reclamation in the Spratlys - workers have enclosed the island with a concrete sea wall.

DFA chief to Asean: Take a stand on China's massive reclamation work in West PH Sea By: Michaela del Callar, Philippine News Agency January 29, 2015 9:36 PM MANILA, Philippines -- Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario urged the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to take a stand on China’s massive reclamation works on disputed areas in the South China Sea, warning that such activities could eventually threaten all 10 members of the regional bloc. It was the first major call of the Philippines on the ASEAN, which is currently chaired by Malaysia, to take a definitive and stronger stand on the issue since the scale of China’s ongoing construction was revealed last year. Four ASEAN members - Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam –have been locked in long-simmering territorial rifts in the West Philippine Sea, also known as South China Sea. China and Taiwan are also involved in the disputes, which have long been feared as Asia’s next potential flashpoint for a major armed conflict.
