Golez: Those Filipinos who believe or help propagandize that China is not militarizing the South China Sea, please take note of this. China will never be a friend of the Philippines. China will engage us, give us financial assistance but it is not for the love of the Philippines, but in pursuit of its agenda of grabbing 90% of the West Philippine Sea and for full control of the South China Sea.

Golez: Those Filipinos who believe or help propagandize that China is not militarizing the South China Sea, please take note of this. China will never be a friend of the Philippines. China will engage us, give us financial assistance but it is not for the love of the Philippines, but in pursuit of its agenda of grabbing 90% of the West Philippine Sea and for full control of the South China Sea. I quote from this article:

"China appears to be boosting defenses at a key South China Sea military base.

"Satellite imagery of the People’s Liberation Army’s Yulin Naval Base on Hainan Island in the South China Sea shows the deployment of multiple missile launchers, which observers believe are for launching anti-ship ballistic missiles, reports Defense News.

“The direction in which the launchers are facing leads us to believe these are shore-to-ship missiles,” ImageSat International imagery analyst Amit Gur told reporters."

China appears to be boosting defenses at a key South China Sea military base.

Satellite imagery of the People’s Liberation Army’s Yulin Naval Base on Hainan Island in the South China Sea shows the deployment of multiple missile launchers, which observers believe are for launching anti-ship ballistic missiles, reports Defense News.

“The direction in which the launchers are facing leads us to believe these are shore-to-ship missiles,” ImageSat International imagery analyst Amit Gur told reporters.

Yulin Naval Base is an essential submarine base for the South Fleet and houses China’s nuclear submarines. It is also home to a decent collection of surface ships. Over the years, China has been increasingly fortifying this particular military base, the tip of the spear for Chinese power projection into the contested South China Sea.
