Beijing Boosts South China Sea Naval Defense

China is increasing naval operations in the disputed waters of the South China Sea. Beijing has plans to build two lighthouses there, a move widely expected to escalate tensions in a region already on edge about China’s controversial island reclamation project. It compares that to construction in other parts of the country like building homes or roads.

China, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei claim all or parts of the South China Sea.
