"n five years the Chinese have built 12 militarily significant facilities in the South China Sea including three major fighter bases towards the centre of the sea, each with protected facilities for 24 fighter-bombers. The facilities apparently planned for Scarborough Shoal would extend this network to provide the Chinese with radar coverage over much of the Philippines strategic heartland, including Subic Bay naval base."

Their floating fortresses will be something to contend with, especially as they will just be the first layer of fortress defense that will be heavier on the coast.
It is good that we are turning our eye upon this with a little more seriousness, now. While they have not outrightly threatened anything, no one really knows what The Dragon plans for the world.
