China is thought to be ably installing high-frequency radars and ammunition storage in illegally constructed artificial islands in the South China Sea.
The International Center for Strategic Studies (CSIS) on Wednesday quoted satellite images as saying China was working illegally on facilities covering an area of 29 hectares in the Spratly and Paracel Islands. , which is under Vietnamese sovereignty.
Reports suggest that in recent months, China has apparently established illegal high-frequency radar north of the Spratly archipelago in the Spratlys, according to VOA. Meanwhile, Subi rocks have built tunnels, most likely to hold ammunition, and a radar arbor, radar arches. Construction of the Mischief Reef covers the storage of underground ammunition, aircraft hangars, missile defense missiles and radar.
In the Paracel archipelago of Vietnam, China's smaller scale operations are also blatantly happening, such as the helicopter park, wind turbine on Cay Island, and two large radar towers on Tri Ton Island.
On the island of Phu Lam, where China established the so-called "Sansha Town" from July 2012 to capture the Spratly and Paracel Islands of Vietnam, China was also first discovered deployed war J-11B and Y-8 transport aircraft.
China has used force to occupy the Paracel Islands since 1974. It also illegally appropriated 7 rockets in Vietnam's Truong Sa archipelago into artificial islands and conducted militarization. Vietnam has indisputable sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly islands. China's operation in these two archipelagos is a serious violation of Vietnam's sovereignty.
The United States has carried out a number of maritime freed maritime patrols, clamping down on China's artificial islands illegally built in the Spratlys this year, including when it asked China to support pressure on the North, Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons program. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson repeated this week's call for China to stop building the island and argue that the continued militarization is unacceptable.
