Not only that. Each of the three airstrips can station 24 fighters. If the PLA can make these operational it would result in the availability of a total of 72 fighters. Plus the air defence weapons of their installations and warships would make the skies over the Spratlys a very hot one if war comes. |

China’s artificial islands now weaponized | philstar - Updated December 16, 2016
![]() In this undated file photo released by Xinhua News Agency, a Chinese H-6K bomber patrols the islands and reefs in the South China Sea. A U.S. think tank says recent images appear to show that China has installed anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons on its man-made islands in the South China Sea. The Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a report this week that the anti-aircraft guns and a close-in weapons systems designed to guard against missile attack have been placed on all seven of the islands that China has created by piling sand on top of coral reefs.

My goodness! Either govt is making the people naive, or simply, they are selling PH to China, just like what GMA did. China itself is increasing the tensions! This is NOT FAIR! Where is the "prof-Filipino" spirit of the government? |
