Strategies of Nansha Islands Garrisoned by China
Lin WenrongYin Yong
The number of garrisoned islands and reefs in Nansha islands is 51 Among these islands and reefs， Vietnam occupied 29， Philippines occupied 8， Malaysia occupied 6， China only occupied 8 of them The islands garrisoned by China are located in the heart of Nansha Islands which have an unique “location” advantage Taking this advantage， China could plan and position its artificial islands as government center， transportation hub， fishery base， oil and gas base in the area of Nansha At the same time， military construction is also recommended to provide a guarantee of security The Meiji Reef， Zhubi Reef and Yongshu Reef are surrounded by each other， and they had been built into the largest artificial islands in Nansha Constructing military base on the above three artificial islands could effectively monitor and maintain security around Nansha What’s more， oil and gas base construction on the three islands is also recommended to provide support to exploit oil and gas resources in Zhongjiannan basin， Wan’an basin， Nanweixi basin and Liyue basin Finally， a new strategy is proposed as ‘propel westward and move eastward’ Yongshu island is proposed as a start point of ‘propel westward’， and new operation should be carried out immediately to exploit and develop deepwater oil and gas resources in the west zone of Nansha On the other hand， Meiji island is proposed as a start point of ‘move eastward’， and new operation is also supposed to carried out progressively to strengthen China’s control of uninhabited reefs and speed up the process of exploiting fishery resources， oil and gas resources in the east zone of Nansha
