The biggest island on the South China Sea

[ChineseTiger1986]

The bigger is better.

Yes you can use it in more creative ways the longer it is...

The island is still too small to be a full blown naval outpost where you can deploy large warships and strike planes on it. As it stands, US navy's Midway Atoll base is about twice its size. Its small size also leaves it vulnerable to attacks. I think it's better to make it a coast guard station, where we can establish regular ship and air patrols in SCS. Save the planes and large warships for the future carrier battle groups.

Artifact Island is fake Island, it built illegally by Chinese invader.

Our bombers will come in handy once the air defense is totally down, it will rain hell to a certain neighbor

Chinese is crying when nowaday biggest Island Taiwan is under control of USA.

Maybe ZhuBi can host a longer airstrip although this one can accommodate most airplanes.

I agree with @S10 , especially ZhuBi and MeiJi should be enlarged further with all the required military-civilian facilities on them.

Vietnam's occupied island is the smallest.

It is strange. They started reclamation and build up in early 1970s but have quickly fallen behind China, whose peaceful island development program started only less than two years ago.

If we are talking about the entire South China Sea, there is also the airstrip on Yongxing (Woody) Island in the Paracels.

The airstrip on Fiery Cross (Yongshu) Island when used in tandem with the ones on Woody, Zhubi and possibly Meiji would be stupendous.

There is definitely synergy when using all these airstrip simultaneously.

So it looks like the Philippines got an airstrip to land fighter jets

Now they just need to buy a fighter jet..

I can sense your sourgrape. You must be admiring at Chinese technology and financial capabilities. Low esteem has taken over you

No country can match the scale of China's development.
