China increases its aggressive actions in the East Sea

(Baonghean.vn)- The Chinese military dispatched ships and planes, and even illegally built islands to "blatantly" assert sovereignty over the East Sea. Not stopping there, recently, the Chinese military also sent an art troupe to perform on an island that Beijing had just illegally built in the East Sea.

The Chinese military has just sent a performing troupe, including famous singer Song Zuying, to perform for naval officers and construction workers on Chau Vien Reef, an island that Beijing has illegally built in the East Sea.

This move clearly shows that China is increasingly confident in its sovereignty claims.

The troupe's visit was recorded in photos widely circulated on state media on May 4.

This has revealed the massive constructions that China is carrying out on the coral reefs in the Spratly Islands, such as lighthouses, ports and buildings.

The caption accompanying some of the photos noted that these photos were taken on May 3 on Chau Vien Reef.

In the background, one can see a giant Type 071 naval landing ship docked. The ship can carry four helicopters and up to 800 troops.

The group of artists also performed a performance called "Advances of the Chinese Navy" on the evening of May 2 on Fiery Cross Reef, where China has illegally built a runway capable of landing its largest military aircraft./.
