We are going to have to have some gigantic strength in our military leadership when Trump takes office. What's going on in the South China Sea is really scary and is not getting much reporting. The only good news is that Donald Trump mentioned it at his rally and has said he will take a harder line against it! WSJ: China has installed weapons on all seven of the artificial islands it has built in disputed water of the South China Sea, according to a U.S. think tank’s analysis of satellite imagery. JEREMY PAGE Updated Dec. 15, 2016 6:52 p.m. ET BEIJING—A U.S. think-tank report that China has installed antiaircraft weapons and other arms on all seven islands it has built in the South China Sea is raising the stakes in a regional dispute as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump signals he is ready to confront Beijing on territorial issues. The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative said Wednesday that satellite imagery showed China had installed the weapons in recent months, despite President Xi Jinping’s pledge not to militarize the islands in the Spratly archipelago, where Beijing’s territorial claims overlap with those of several other governments. China’s Defense Ministry reiterated in a statement on its website Thursday that any reef construction was mainly for civil use, though it appeared to also send a message to the U.S. “As to the necessary military facilities, they are mainly for defense and self-defense, which is appropriate and legal. For example, if someone is showing off their strength on your doorstep, can’t you even prepare a slingshot?” the statement said. I really recommend reading more of this article and looking at the map-video.
