This video depicts construction of PRC airbases in the South China Sea, showing the pace of construction through Google Earth imagery history.
The pace of construction is disheartening for one who was deeply involved in the DoD MILCON process.
It is doubtful that the US general public is widely aware this occurred.
Please note where these airbases are in relation to China, versus the Philippines, Borneo, and Vietnam.
This video just depicts the three airbases with runways capable of taking high performance fighter/bomber aircraft in this area. Root around the South China Sea in this general area and you will see more construction of this nature (e.g., Cuarteron Reef)
