China builds military-grade runway in West PH Sea
Excerpt
Aerial photographs show an increase in Chinese military infrastructure in the West Philippine Sea, and as a threat upon our sovereignty it is most alarming. Some of the photos show a military-grade runway and Chinese planes on Panganiban (Mischief) Reef, which is located within the Philippines’ 370-kilometer exclusive economic zone.
