The Chinese regime has completed construction of an intelligence and communications hub in the disputed Spratly Islands located in the South China Sea, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a U.S.-based think tank.
The organization published a report on Feb. 16 analyzing aerial photographs published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and CSIS’ own satellite imagery. It concluded that a large communications or sensor array—bigger than all other bases China has built in the area—had been completed on Fiery Cross Reef, “suggesting that Fiery Cross might be serving as a signals intelligence/communications hub for Chinese forces in the area,” according to the report.
