That's the gist of the matter.
What is the point of taking some pictures? China has already served a number of pictures of the island development efforts for free through its new agency. They could have simply asked.
After the CNN crew took some videos on board of the surveillance plane, I should tell you, China continued with construction. Would you like to take another picture because, you know, topography changes.
Sooner than later, China's planes will be able to accompany the CNN crew in the sky and will perhaps invite them to shoot the pictures of the new newly-built islands.
Just follow us.
Amazing!
Sorry, but our hands are really full with development efforts. Can you see the density of the construction courtesy of CNN?
We won't fire at them. And they won't stop us. Gentlemen's agreement.
