SOUTH CHINA SEA from countries in southeast Asia have sparked political tension and ongoing disagreements over how the territory should be divided, and this has also led to a rampant militarisation of the region by China in the form of monstrous bases.
Described by many as "island fortresses", China has engulfed the South China Sea with man made island bases, and has been accused of forming them specifically for military purposes. The key issue for other Asian neighbours is the placement of these bases in archipelagos that are under sovereignty claims by multiple countries. The Spratly Islands are by China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei – and have become the cornerstone of China's quest for dominance in the region.
