Business Insider: Top US admiral: China is building a 'great wall of sand' in the South China Sea
China's rapid pace of artificial island construction throughout the South China Sea is like the building of a "great wall of sand," the US's Pacific Fleet Commander said at a naval security conference in Canberra, Australia, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Admiral Harry Harris Jr said that China's unabated construction of artificial islands throughout the disputed body of water is provocative. Beijing's dredging of the islands, which all exist in either international waters or contested maritime territory, is only likely to further increase tensions in a region with complex overlapping territorial claims.
