Chinas manmade islands nearly complete!

I'm waiting to see what happens to that island about 200km off the Philippines (but several times that distance from China) that the Chinese have been surveying recently, even though they agreed to leave and not build there after the Philippino government started kissing China's arse last year. If Duterte sits back and lets them do it, meanwhile still slagging off the US at every chance, I think that will be the last straw and he'll be removed in a military coup before long.

I'm also interested to see where China's fishing fleet pops up this year. The last few years they have appeared in the EEZs of various Asian countries (and had conflicts with their navies), but they've also had run-ins with powers in South American waters in recent years too. Hopefully if they appear off Australia, then Customs / Coastwatch will deal with them the same way as they do the swedish and Indonesians.
