U.S. Intelligence Assessment Disputes Chinese Claims of Limited Militarization, Ceased Land Reclamation in South China Sea By: Sam LaGrone March 8, 2016 A recently revealed U.S. assessment of Chinese military capability on holdings in the South China Sea runs counter to a narrative from Beijing that weapons on the artificial islands are merely for self defense, according to the late February assessment outlined in a letter by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and obtained by USNI News. According to the unclassified assessment, "China will have significant capacity to quickly project substantial offensive military power to the region," by next year which conflicts with claims made last year by China's president and foreign minister. Senior officials in Beijing have asserted over the last several months that China has stopped land reclamation in the Spratly Island chain in the South China Sea and would only equip the islands with only enough military firepower to defend installations on the reclaimed land and nothing more.

The current ambiguity in Beijing's nine-dash line is probably intentional, so they can later adapt its placement to a definite set of coordinates that would be most advantageous for their later designs on the region. Philippine Star
