They really can't think of enough ways to waste all of the money they get from us.
They built some cities a while back that I'm pretty sure are mostly empty. They just like to build things and spend money it appears

You guys need to read this article. It is damn fascinating.

It has nothing to do with spending money. It is about China trying to steal territory and rapidly expand their naval power.

That's what they thought, now they have a bunch of cities big enough for a million people that are empty. Not to mention the thousands of rural Chinese farmers that were forced off of their land for these cities, and now they don't know how to live.

I'm convinced China does this knowing it'll fail. All of America's money placed into ghost towns and man-made islands now?

About 30 hectares or 74 acres of the reef are proposed to be reclaimed, purportedly for the China People's Liberation Army to strengthen its posture in the contested maritime area, claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia.

I imagine that any challenge put forth by China for the second island chain will be well timed and executed. Perhaps to coincide with a failing US administration, a war weary US populace and the calling in of a few trillion dollars of US debt held by China. But that would never happen anytime soon...

Very much so. It's crazy to see how un-checked the Chinese are in that area of the world.
