#Runway Being Built On #China’s Closest Island Outpost To #Vietnam
#Triton is westernmost island in #SouthChinaSea’s strategic Paracel archipelago and added #militarization has big implications. Clearly, work is still in early stage, but it’s startling how rapid progress has been so far. Previously, this outpost was home to an observation station with two radomes and some big Chinese flags, but not much more. The island was previously served by small harbor and a helipad. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/runway-being-built-on-chinas-closest-island-outpost-to-vietnam
