Forget [?] merely the South China Sea. China wants it all. Oceanic domination. China moves east?

From the Internet web site the Drive and the article BY THOMAS NEWDICK AND JOSEPH TREVITHICK 

"China Wants To Revive A Strategically Located Airfield Deep In The Pacific: Report"

"The airstrip in the country of Kiribati is positioned just 1,800 miles from Hawaii, which isn't that far in terms of the distances in the Pacific."

"The Chinese government reportedly has plans to refurbish and expand an airstrip on the island of Kanton, also spelled Canton, part of the archipelago nation of Kiribati in the central Pacific Ocean. If true, this could give Beijing an airbase in an incredibly strategical location, between North America and New Zealand, potentially giving China's military much greater reach throughout a critical and increasingly tense region."

RECALL THOSE FOUR ELEMENTS OF USA VICTORY IN WORLD WAR TWO TO INCLUDE AVIATION AND BULLDOZERS. AIRSTRIPS HACKED OUT OF CORAL ROCK SMIDGEN-TYPE ATOLLS VITAL TO THE WAR EFFORT.

War tends to constitute a geography lesson for Americans. Go point to Kiribati if you don't think so.

But you need Construction Battalions [CB's]. Does the Chinese have those at the ready?
