Interesting Vietnam is accelerating building these islands.

beware Vietnam very ambitious and play games!
Go Vietnam.
more Vietnam builds, the more China can use as excuse to build more of its own.
these bases were always aimed at U.S. military and its allies.
I can't tell if this is next level cope or 4d chess
why would it be a cope?I can't tell if this is next level cope or 4d chess
I've never had an issue with other countries expanding the reefs or islands they control? those "islands" are not all that meaningful to China's security situation. It's other people that are really care about it.
The island expansion projects were always aimed at dominating SCS. And if Vietnam is doing more of it, then they should have no objection if China resumes its own island expansions. Vietnam expanding island in SCS poses no real danger to China.
Have you considered the possibility China doesn't want to build more islands right now, and Vietnam is forcing China's hand. Personally though I'm in favour of building more islands, just pointing it out.

If it doesn't want to build more islands, that's fine too. But as we've seen from other photos, they are still improving and making upgrades to islands in SCS. It would be silly to not do more work. Maybe it won't be as dramatic as 5 years ago.
"Indonesia sent a Chinese ship packing, escalating a fight over oil and gas in the South China Sea
Indonesia said it drove a Chinese coast-guard ship out of its waters in the South China Sea.
It said the Chinese ship disrupted an Indonesian oil and gas company surveying the waters.
China claims almost the whole sea as its own territory, which its neighbors and the West dispute."
The title is kinda "propagandistic", like using word "packing", to stir emotions?
