China is building in the South China Sea, but this isn’t any normal construction. China is expanding islands and building new ones on reefs in disputed waters around the Paracel and Spratly Islands and readying them for military use. What should the United States do? Why should the United States care? We collected some of the best minds on Asian maritime security affairs to explain this dangerous escalation in China’s slow coercive game in the South China Sea:
Andrew Erickson and Austin Strange on “Putting Neighbors Between a Rock and a Hard Place.”
Dean Cheng on China’s “Blue Soil.”
Shawn Brimley calls on U.S. policymakers to contest China’s facts on this new ground.
Robert Haddick says the United States should bolster allies and publicize China’s aggression.
