What was a submerged reef a year ago is now a 1,500 acre artificial island with a large runway under construction, as China's militarization of the South China Sea accelerates.
In less than a year, the PRC dredged more than a million tons of sand to reclaim approximately 1,500 acres of land. The teardrop-shaped island is now 3.7 miles long
That’s insane. I wish big superpowers would do this sort of thing to help island nations that are disappearing due to their historic pollution.
Instead we only do this for the military, which is responsible for enormous emissions causing sea level rise :(
