China lands military jet on spratly islands airstip
China landed a military jet under the guise of rescuing three ill people on the man made reef/lsland made out of sand dredged up from the ocean bottom and poured on the reef to make it higher above sea level.
The USA protested the landing but so far nothing else has been done to destroy these islands that are closer to the Philippines than to main land china which is a thousand miles away.
Maybe we should do something about this before it's fully manned with more Chinese Military Aircraft and more land to sea and land to air missiles and military radars. This area has been claimed by China and they are backing up their claim to these reefs with their military. Mean while the USA continues to sail and fly though the area, but for how long? Who's going to throw the first punch and where will that lead to?
Ops I forgot the link to the story again. Edit didn't work
