China, Trying to Bolster Its Claims, Plants Islands in Disputed Waters

June 17 (New York Times) -- BEIJING --
....China has been moving sand onto reefs and shoals to add several new islands to the Spratly archipelago, in what foreign officials say is a new effort to expand the Chinese footprint in the South China Sea. The officials say the islands will be able to support large buildings, human habitation and surveillance
equipment, including radar....
Chinese actions have also worried senior United States officials. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel scolded China for "land reclamation activities at multiple locations" in the South China Sea at a contentious security conference in Singapore in late May....
"By creating the appearance of an island, China may be seeking to strengthen the merits of its claims," said M. Taylor Fravel, a political scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology…
China says it has the right to build in the Spratlys because they are Chinese territory. "China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Islands," a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said last month,….’
Why is China wasting so much effort to bring sands and equipment to the islands? China should find a large piece of continent like North America, kill all the natives and just take over the land. It would be so easy, quick and fast and cheap.
Chuck Hagel and Taylor Fravel, what do you think? The Americans are experts at it, please go and teach the Chinese how to do it and don’t waste time filling up little islands with sands in the ocean.

Not that they got no brain lah. Their biological fathers are angmohs lah.
At that time if got Spore, Singaporeans would put a few packets of tissue papers there and choped the islands and the islands would be ours.
China does not need to answer to usa. usa is not saint, always make mistakes, very unholy, never ask japan to pay for war crimes etc.
japan still have not return the nuclear stockpile, thee could still with mitsubishi. they could use it to develop nuclear bombs
against China
reuter 3/2014 - Last month, China said it was "extremely concerned" by a report that Japan had resisted returning to the United States more than 300 kg (660 lb) of mostly weapons-grade plutonium
that pro-japan st tokyo correspondent kwan weng kin said in an article yesterday regarding japan emperor succession -'A HARDENED CONSERVATIVE WHO DREAMS OF RESTORING JAPAN TO ITS PRE-WAR GLORY, MR ABE DOES NOT FAVOUR THE IDEA OF A FEMALE ON THE CHRYSANTHEMUM THRONE' Now, no matter how one looked at it, there was nothing glorious at all what about Japan did in relation to the Chinese leading up the war!!
If a person go to the bank and want to take out his fixed deposit, the banker told him he may not able to handle his money need to wait for get older then get out some money per month can't get lump sum out, what will happen, people thought it will be very funny?
Whether people know how people handle it, got to do with him as it was a promised to return on certain time, no questions ask?
Don't tell me a promised by the govt can change anytime, with the govt gave some excuses, how other countries view our system, people are old enough know how to think and manage their money? These is mobile internet age, different from the snail era?
Even people spend all their money go to social welfare and get $400 per month, how many qualify, people rather work to get $800 in today inflation?
Can Singapore claim to be a develop country with it low wage workers no minimum pay?
What for people slogged 40 years still continue need to slog again, don't know when can they see their CPF lifetime savings, it might give some flimsy excuses again delay to 75 again nobody Know?
If at 55 gave back people the CPF money, it will not be an issue?
Will youngsters will scare they got to work until no retirement age, what it these type of system compare to other system where people able to retire take care of their grandchildren, sometime do part time, it could be govt be voted out in 2016 ballot?
If people worry their old age, what will happen to the birthrate, their parent got to continue to work, will they dare to born babies?
Like the huge swing of the winning margin of the 10 percent winning marign in Punggol East to an unexpected lost due to the CPF issue? The ruling party could be out of the govt in 2016?
Lifetime savings CPF possibly the most important issues in people life?
It is most important because every month they saved 37 percent of their income expected and promised to be returned by 55?
Make it simple return the money don't come out too many confusing schemes?

Vote AMK GRC out: Take our closest neighbour for example.
At 53, they can withdraw a portion of their EPF and ALL at 55.
PM Najib doesn’t insult the people by saying “We keep your pension fund for your own good or else you spend all in Hadyai, Bangkok and Golok.”
All those silly boys and girls in parliament should not act as if they are gods or the wise ones to talk down to the people. And don't teach your father and mother how to such eggs.
They are so silly in the things they said about withholding the people's life savings and they still didn't know. They really believe they are very clever.

They are not the silly ones. The 60% is.
