Defense officials are increasingly concerned about China’s growing military presence regionally and globally. According to the Dept. of Defenseannual report on security developments involving China,中国军方已经延期nded its presence into the South China Sea in order to “coerce Taiwan and rival claimants in territorial disputes, counter an intervention by a third party in a conflict along the PRC’s periphery, and project power globally.”

The Chinese military completed an extensive artificial manipulation in the Spratly Islands in late 2015, after adding more than 3,200 acres of land to the seven features it occupies in the island chain. According to the DOD report, these outposts have been equipped with extensive military gear that “allow the [People’s Republic of China] to maintain a more flexible and persistent military and paramilitary presence in the area.”
