China is doubling down on militarizing outposts in the South China Sea.
Rep. Young Kim, R-Calif., discusses how low military recruitment poses a national security threat on ‘Fox News @ Night.’During a visit to the United States in 2016, Chinese Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping declared that China"does not intend to pursue militarization" and is"committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea."
The CCP is not done in the South China Sea. In fact, they are doubling down on militarizing outposts in the South China Sea, acting aggressively toward U.S. allies and partners, and repeating lies about its"ten-dash line" to claim ownership of the region. , I led a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to the First Island Chain, including Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. We saw and heard time and time again that the CCP is doubling down on unlawful claims and aggressive tactics to assert and expand its control of the region.
Across the South China Sea, China has illegally dredged nearly 3,200 acres of new land and created many military outposts, including runways for military aircraft, isolated"research" platforms that can port vessels, and a constant China Coast Guard presence in waters that our allies claim.
