At Kagitingan Reef, China built a permanent communications and maritime observatory garrison that can house 200 troops. China built a helicopter landing pad, a 300-meter long wharf allowing supply ships and patrol boats to dock, a two-storey barracks and a 500-square meter plantation area. Beijing designated the Kagitingan Reef as its main command headquarters as it is equipped with satellite data transmission, surface and air search radars. This garrison is armed with at least four high-powered naval guns and several gun emplacements.

China built permanent reef fortresses and supply platforms at the Calderon, Gaven and Chigua reefs. These supply platforms can resist winds up to 71 knots and are equipped with VHF / UHF communications equipment, search radars as well as naval guns and anti-aircraft guns. These three supply platforms can also serve as docks for Chinese navy patrol boats.

At Zamora Reef, China has built a permanent reef fortress and supply platform that can house 160 troops. This garrison has a helipad and is armed with four twin barrel 37-millimeter naval guns.

Panganiban Reef now has four building complexes with 13 multi-storey buildings. Fifty Chinese Marines are permanently stationed there and are equipped with satellite communications equipment. China has undertaken several lagoon construction activities at Panganiban Reef. The construction of additional facilities at Panganiban Reef is apparently aimed at establishing pre-positioned bases in the South China Sea, enabling Beijing to project its influence and power in the disputed islands.

Apart from the military garrisons and outposts, China is aggressively pursuing large-scale maritime projects aimed at cementing its claim on the Spratlys. These projects include construction of port facilities, airports, navigation buoys, lighthouses, ocean observatories and maritime meteorology networks.

Spratly Islands is belong to Vietnam from long time, at least from 1600s years under official Administrative of NGUYEN LORD, when he had obeyed to the command of Le Kingdom of Vietnam to rule Southern Area of Vietnam. Hundreds year in the past there wasn't any troubles with neighboring countries.
China builds man made island in EZZ of Vietnam under UNCLOS or Spratly's area is illegal action.

Sexy looking! But it would require just one 15,000 lb Daisy Cutter to sink the darn islands to the bottom of the sea......port facilities, airports, lighthouses, ocean observatories, and all!!! :azn:

These Islands seem much closer to Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia than to China. If they were uninhabited islands, then there are three rational solutions -
(a) An island should belong to that nation whose coastline is nearest
(b) Alternatively, they can be declared common property like Antarctica
(c) surrounding nations should get together and come to a negotiated settlement

I remember there are some Indian Islands are much closer to Mammar than India,does India likes to give those islands to Mammar?

They have never been uninhabited, never been disputed, and were in use by Indian naval forces even before British times. (Maratha Admiral Kanhoji Angre had established his base there in the 17th century.)
