PLAN SCS Bases/Islands/Vessels (Not a Strategy Page)

Just for comparison sake...look at what the original improvements were back in the late 1990s and into the early 2000s of all three areas in the same order...Mischief, Fiery, and Subi:



Each of those structures is a small...a very small...dot on the large islands they have created. Those air fields are each something on the order of 10,000 feet long, capable of landing any aircraft from a fighter, to a large bomber. As I said...amazing.

For example, here's Fiery in 2013:



Here's Fiery two years later:



You saw what the finished product is now in 2017 above.

As a part of its plan to establish its hold over the South China Sea, China has opened a modern cinema hall in Yongxing Island, a state media report said. As per PTI, more than 200 locals and soldiers watched Chinese movie The Eternity of Jiao Yulu’ at the Sansha Yinlong Cinema’, located in Sansha municipality yesterday. “The cinema will show at least one film every day, so residents and soldiers on Yongxing Island can enjoy films simultaneously with moviegoers across the country,” Gu Xiaojing, general manager of Hainan Media Croup, was quoted as saying by the news agency.

China has been coming up with facilities in islands in its domain encouraging its citizens to settle in the disputed area. The Chinese government has also built artificial islands, some with facilities for garrisons as also airstrips in order to strengthen its control over the area. Countries like Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines and Taiwan have also laid claimed over the South China Sea.

The movie theatre is equipped with the advanced projection equipment, with latest 4K digital projectors and 3D perforated screen for movie viewers to make them feel pleasure of big screen, Xinhua report said.

According to Chen Zijian, general manager of Hainan Film Company, which takes care of the theatre, said two mobile projection units have also been bought by the theatre and plans are afoot to screen movies for free on more islands within local municipality to meet demands of local residents.

Take a Cruise Through
the South China Sea on
the Forever Happy Princess
By JAVIER C. HERNÁNDEZ and IRIS ZHAOJULY 27, 2017

If you take a cruise on the Forever Happy Princess, a Chinese ship, you can play mah-jongg, sing karaoke and snorkel.

You can see musical performances, like this song, “Friends.”
and the water off the Paracel Islands is “as pure as a baby’s soul,” said one guest, Li Zhiyi.


But these state-run cruises have a serious purpose: China wants to remind the world of its position that it owns nearly the entire South China Sea, a strategic waterway claimed by several countries.

Tens of thousands of Chinese tourists take state-run cruises through the Paracel Islands every year.



Vietnam claims the Paracels too, and the United States has repeatedly challenged China’s claims, sending a missile destroyer through the area this month.

The three-day cruise is off limits to foreigners, but tourists sent us photos.


The trip mixes patriotism and leisure. Guests sing revolutionary songs and dance and drink into the night. Tickets go for as much as $4,000.

A highlight of the journey is a propaganda film that shows China winning control of the Paracels.
Passengers said they didn’t really worry about being in the middle of an international power struggle.


Guests can bond over a shared sense of nationalism. Some vowed to guard the South China Sea until their death.

“Some organized tours are all about spending money,” said Xue Lihe, 60, a retired propaganda worker from central China. “This is just about one thing: patriotism.”


On Quanfu Island, tourists recite an oath and hold a flag-raising ceremony by the beach and coral.

“This is an indivisible part of China,” they say, some of them shouting. “I love my country.”
