Chinese TV Shows Footage of Construction on Disputed South China Sea Reef

Source: Time

China has aired the first official footage of ongoing construction on a disputed reef it claims in the restive South China Sea.

Footage of buildings, roads and lighthouses under construction at Fiery Cross Reef — known by the Chinese as Yongshu — were seen in a report by China Central Television (CCTV) on Tuesday, according to the state-run Global Times newspaper. The report was about a navy song and dance troupe from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) that performed on the reef.

Fiery Cross is also claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan.
