You think you see the end of island building but wait China plan to to expand it 5X wow via Adam Wang
Yongshu Island, China : Existing area 2.8 km2, will reach 108 km2 in next 20 years

For a long time, some scattered islands and reefs in the South China Sea have been in short supply due to their poor living environment on the island, which has caused some of the island reefs to lose their opportunities and stolen in the past few decades, by Vietnam (29 stolen), and the Philippines (8 stolen) and other countries . Later, with the development of strength, we began to realize this problem. China want to control the islands and reefs of distant continents. It is the best choice to build a transit station that can stay for a long time.
In recent years, the most proud of our project to reclaim the islands of the South China Sea is to use the Yongshu Reef (now known as “Yongshu Island”). Before 4 years ago, our mouth was re-heated. The reef is only a reef disk with a surface area of only 0.2 square kilometers at the time of low tide. From August 2014 to short 4 months in 2015, China completed the sand-filling operation on the Yongshu Reef. 2.8 square kilometers, equivalent to the deck area of 109 Nimitz class aircraft carriers!
After the completion of the sand-filling operation, in order to build it into the largest material distribution center in Nansha, a long-distance large-scale transport aircraft is needed. China has built infrastructure such as Yongshudao Airport and Yongshudao Hospital on Yongji Island, and According to recent news, fresh water was found in various places in Yongshu Island, which saved a lot of burden for our long stay. In addition, many netizens call it the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" according to the shape of Yongshu Island!
In fact, the Yongshu Island we are currently seeing is only the tip of the iceberg of Yongchang Island. Its full name should be called “Southwest Island of Yongshu Reef”. The real reef island of Yongji Island is 26 kilometers long and 7.8 kilometers wide. The area is 108 square kilometers. In recent years, the northeast reefs of the Yongshu Reef have formed two bean sprout-shaped sandbars under the influence of the northeast blast, which has the potential to form a sand-sand island. And the entire Yongshu reef is very shallow, which is very suitable for land reclamation.
From the current situation, it is difficult for 2.8 square kilometers of islands to meet China's future needs. According to its geographical location and China's future needs, all the large atolls in the northeast of Yongshu Reef will be sand-filled and reclaimed into a connected island. Just a matter of time!
