First the horizontal development, now the vertical development. The foreign ministry on Tuesday said China would complete within days its land reclamation projects on disputed areas in the South China Sea in an apparent id to reassure its neighbors over moves seen as sharpening tensions in the strategically vital region. In a sign that tensions were far from easing, however, a statement posted on the ministry's website said China would follow up by building infrastructure to carry out functions ranging from maritime search and rescue to environmental conservation and scientific research.
