China able to deploy warplanes on artificial islands any time: U.S. think tank

By David Brunnstrom

China appears to have largely completed major construction of military infrastructure on artificial islands it has built in the South China Sea and can now deploy combat planes and other military hardware there at any time, a U.S. think tank said on Monday.

In first under Trump, U.S. warship challenges Beijing's claims in South China Sea

A U.S. Navy warship sailed within 12 nautical miles of an artificial island built up by China in the South China Sea, U.S. officials said, the first such challenge to Beijing in the strategic waterway since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.

The U.S patrol marked the latest attempt to counter what Washington sees as Beijing's efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the strategic waters.

China Expands South China Sea Bases

Tensions between Beijing and Washington could be set to rise after new analysis showed the Chinese military has expanded its facilities on its controversial man-made islands in the South China Sea.

The report by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative shows China hasn't slowed its work on these islands within the sea that are subject to competing territorial claims from China's neighbors.

Reuters has the details:

China has built four new missile shelters on Fiery Cross Reef to go with the eight already on the artificial island, AMTI said. Mischief and Subi each have eight shelters, the think tank said in a previous report.

On Mischief Reef, a very large antennae array is being installed that presumably boosts Beijing's ability to monitor the surroundings, the think tank said, adding that the installation should be of concern to the Philippines due to its proximity to an area claimed by Manila.

A large dome recently was installed on Fiery Cross and another is under construction, indicating a sizeable communications or radar system, AMTI said. Two more domes are being built at Mischief Reef, it said.

USS Stethem sailed within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island

Tensions over the South China Sea are rising again after the U.S. guided missile destroyer USS Stethem sailed within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island, which is part of the contested Paracel Islands.

Unsurprisingly, China was not happy.

Reuters has the details:

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement the U.S. ship had made an unauthorized entry into China's territorial waters.

The operation was a "serious political and military provocation," the statement, issued late on Sunday said, citing ministry spokesman Lu Kang. It said China had sent battle ships and fighter jets to warn off the Stethem.

"China strongly urges the U.S. side to immediately stop this kind of provocative action which seriously violates China's sovereignty and puts at risk China's security," Lu said. China would take all necessary measures to defend itself, he said.

China is building islands, the United States is on fire, the Philippines is aggressive and the war drums are sounding again in the South China Sea.
