Because soil is compressing If you don't calculate the rate of the compression the island will sink You always have to bring more ground than you think because it will be squashed by its own weight quite quickly.
I had recently been to the Philippines and I get the sense that there are a lot of Chinese infiltration going on in too many industries especially in finance, banking, and real estate. Corruption is everywhere, which is why it was easy for China to bully Manila.

That's because they only use gimmicks to channel their own funds back with the additional interest that they earn on their own money. Think about it; they give your government the loans to hire only China-based contractors. Then they make sure that each and every cent of that money goes to a China-based company, including the water and food bills of the workers. After that, they ask you to pay the interest for the money that they gave you for funding their own companies. When you fail to pay, they take your asset at absolutely no cost.

Um as a engineer, I will point out this video is full of misinformation. Concrete sinking and cracking is normal for the first 10-20 years. You can see example of these in alot of homes in the US. The sand are secured in place with a retaining wall and with the weight of the buildings and runway, the sand would be compressed and become sand stone. Yeah massive waves or strom wound not do anything.
"I built this castle with my own hands. They told me I was crazy to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it just the same. Well, it sank in to the swamp. So I built another castle on top of that one. That one caught fire, toppled over, and sank in to the swamp. So I built a THIRD castle, and that one stood up!" (Monty Python reference.) But the point is, the Chinese can always reinforce their island fortifications. They can always pour more cheap concrete, and dredge more sand. Just because it requires maintenance, does not mean they will have to abandon them.
The problem Vietnam is facing with China is that when it's soldiers go on "exchange programs" (as they're both Communist allies) the Vietnamese soldiers are never returned home - but are replaced with Chinese soldiers!! China wants to infiltrate and control Vietnam's military by this tactic!!

Only having one runway doesn’t mean that it can only support one aircraft. There are ramps where multiple aircraft can be supported. It may make takeoffs and landings during crosswinds a little tricky.

@@signalizer first, you need to strengthen your armed forces, avoid another SAF44, and then secure your internal territories. only afterwards you can defend your boundaries.
I remember seeing China building these island using ships to dredge up sand to build up the reefs that were there. Sand can be easily undermined by tides and storms causing the infrastructure on top to be damaged or destroyed.
@@BoleDaPole They're more likely to build them out of the stacked bodies of the Uyghurs. The Chinese are better known as the killers of tens of millions than they are as being competent vulcanologist.
The so-called Chinese maritime militia is using propellers mounted on small boats to break corals and dig into the 150 sq km lagoon. The clams are later brought aboard a larger vessel. “They were also using an underwater hammer. They smashed coral reefs just to get the giant clams. If the government will not do something, then in the next two years, all the swathes of coral and the population of giant clam will be gone,”
There are some major differences between the Chinese south sea bases, and Guam/Okinawa. The last two are large volcanic islands, geological stable and with robust infrastructure. It would take a sizable force to attack them. While they are not near America, they are also not close to China. The Chinese can’t attack them easily, outside of lobbing a few missiles at them. The US has carrier battle groups that can sit outside the first island chain and still easily attack the small and easily defeated Chinese islands. After all small islands can’t support large defenses. Large islands on the other hand can do so easily.
As a Vietnamese who spent a lot of time reading book, watching video and learn history at school. Throughout 4000 years, China is the only country that never stop wanting to have a war with Vietnam ( our most recent war was 1979 Sino- Vietnamese war and 1988 Gạc Ma war ) We Vietnamese people deadly love peace, we want to focus on build a good, sustainable, solid society for our people, but our big neighbors thing that what they were doing is good 🥲
Given Vietnam's still fairly recent "contest" with U.S. forces, I'd have to say that one Vietnamese soldier is likely worth at least five Chinese soldiers.

This same officer offered starlets/actresses and even his own daughter (sexually) to get what he wanted several months ago from a higher-ranking Party member...and he sat in his living room while the higher official enjoyed whichever female he chose.

Thanks for your video. As an engineer, I noticed you said that concrete was helping "keep the islands afloat". Although, one could say that is an oversimplification of the intent of using concrete, please allow me offer an explanation: The islands appear to have been built by dredging sand from the bottom of the sea near by, and then piling that sand over the existing natural reefs (I know, an environmental disaster right there). One would assume that the 'concrete' was used to provide a retention system to keep the dredged sand from simply washing up to sea with the tides (as the dredged sand more than likely does not have fines like clay to help it keep together), this 'concrete' must have been used as building material for structures in the islands as well. One would also assume that the very dredged sand was also used to make the "concrete", perhaps with the inclusion of coral shards as aggregate, and maybe even using salt water to mix it all together (due to the lack of fresh water, unless they brought that too). So, this 'concrete' is probably no more than an expensive kind of mortar, weakened by the lack of good quality aggregate (like crushed rock/hard stone), and also because of the high salinity in the environment, in the sand and maybe even the salt water used for mixing everything together. Thus, this 'mortar' would be very likely to crumble and "fall apart" (by the chemical action of the salts/water affecting the composition of the cement in the 'concrete'). Even for the best quality concrete, the marine environment is highly corrosive, it affects concrete, steel, and timber, even when fully coated with protective paint or galvanised. A very expensive experiment by the Chinese government, one doomed to fail from the beginning without adequate engineering design and regular maintenance. Time will tell how long the islands stay "afloat".
Yes, the word 'float' raided an eyebrow over here too but that's far from the only completely incorrect statement in this video. Clicking 'do not recommend channel'.
I'm already saying these things are a military disaster waiting to happen happen in a real war. The logic of having them makes sense but the feasibility isn't there if there already showing weaknesses to just natural phenomena what will happen if a concentrated attack with the kinds of munitions we have today strike them? There isn't any way to protect such a concentrated space and the shock you place down with a multitude of guided missiles and bombs is just slamming into an already frail foundation.
Another fact you failed to bring on board is the fact the Vietnam built islands before any other nations and it also drilled for oil in disputed territory before any other countries.
@@utkarshg.bharti9714 That is just an old myth. They had poor quality products in the 1980's, but the Philippines have never had anything close no matter. Even Duterte like China and Russia much better than the terrorist supporters in US that sadly have blackmailed themselves into the Philippines for using their bases, and is setting Filipino lives in great danger if the US start to make false flags, like they always have done. Ore maybe the Filipino's think it will be great with a 3 WW, with use of nuclear weapons? And off course will china punish those who help the US.
Their "tofu" construction practices don't exactly cut it when actually building islands... Who would have thought that something China built is falling apart
And why is this surprising? I haven't even started this video and can reason why. These constructed islands are soil and sand - natural islands are (almost) solid stone. Anyone who has spent time making sand castles knows that the castle only lasts until the tide comes in. The more porous the construct, the easier it is for water to separate individual parts from each other, and whatever is built, flattens to the ocean floor.
The actual history is that before European,japanese plundering that's what their border were like and their fleet were protecting that region from pirates and allowing spice trade. It isnt about who discovered it first.
When the Dragon gets too fat it cant fly. I wouldnt be surprised within the next decade things will turn on their head in Asia. Pretty much everyone would unite against the Dragon.
I believe this is exactly what Vietnam did to build their Islands... they use the same techniques on the mainland to reclaim marsh, sand, and high saline groundwater lands.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those islands would sink due to their man-made construction. If they have the same quality as the skyscrapers one have to live at in Shanghai for example, these islands are faster below sea level than they have been built. There are more cracks in our building than windows.

Since ancient time there is no Italy, only Rome. Is Italy the rightful successor of Rome, if there are many succeeding countries after Rome?
@@omniminokyo2 is the People republic of china the true successor of the Qing dynasty, the Ming dynasty, Jin Dynasty etc. ?
Thr answer is no since the CCP has said multiple times that they are not the successot of the Qind dinasty or the Chinese government during the second world war.
My comment was to point out how stupid the Chinese claim of territories by using the "since ancient time" argument.
Im Italian and as much as we want to be Rome successor we are not, we are something born from the ashes of numerous empire (Rome, Byzantium, Ostrogoth, Franks, Gauls, German and much more) and only because Rome was the greatest of our Ancestor we usually say that we are its heir

@@omniminokyo2 Ancient China =\= Communist China, all south east asia, Japan, India Korea and the Philippines used to fish in the same fucking sea/region (Especially the South China sea and the nearby area) so all those nation could use the same excuse to fish in the chinese exclusive economic zone and territorial water so your example is plain and simply worng and by your logic Spain, France, Italy, Marocco, Tunisia and Algeria could fish in all the Western Mediterranean sea or Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Libia, Siria, Palestine, Israel, Cyprus and all the Balkan region could do the same in the Eastern Mediterranen sea;
The Icelanders could fish all around the Uk and the North seas, the same of Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and France.

You can from a personal level all the way to how the biggest chinese corporations work, they'll go to insane lenghts to achieve their goals, but rarely you'll see someone really thinking outside of the box to optimise the process.

And China did also help Syria, but not with soldiers. more with aid of food and medical equipment. In Syria a lot people got killed, that doesn't happen in the South China sea. In case it is US who never should bee there. The Chinese with nukes, Iranian, Iraqis, Russian with nukes, North Korean with nukes, Venezuelian, Pakistani with nukes, should all sailed into the Mexican Gulf with hevely armed ships, and just claimed freedom of navigation, And the Palestinian should have military exercise in the West Bank, and tested missiles with allies, like the the Lebanese resistance groups Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq and Iran, test the missiles on illegal houses set up by armed terrorists, so called settlers hoses.

I was on one this very morning.
Tofu Construction by Chinese companies. The infrastructure will revert to nature faster after they receive the money.
The good companies are kept under lock and key in places like Shanghai or Beijing. The one's they ship overseas are excess workers, and companies that they just need to be employed.
The Mombasa port in Kenya was built by China atleast 8 years ago so where others built in Eritrea and Sri Lanka... They're Still functional
This sounds like some roads we have here in California.
That's because they only use gimmicks to channel their own funds back with the additional interest that they earn on their own money. Think about it; they give your government the loans to hire only China-based contractors. Then they make sure that each and every cent of that money goes to a China-based company, including the water and food bills of the workers.
After that, they ask you to pay the interest for the money that they gave you for funding their own companies. When you fail to pay, they take your asset at absolutely no cost.

If you deeply understand what the Great Wall and the Grand Canal are all about, you will understand how the Chinese will maintain these artificial islands. Many great projects in Chinese history have fought against nature for many centuries, and the Chinese always calculate long-term returns rather than short-term costs.
The Wall: Great
The Canal: Grand
The Islands: Dinky
But only a small section of the original Great Wall remains.

@randomguy8196 metaphor valid except for any long range missiles that might be based on those islands. Shouldn't ignore those...
@randomguy8196 Agreed. But a single volley of missiles can take out one or more ships, planes, etc., just before the island is destroyed...

They need to dig deep into the earth core causing a man-made volcanic rupture so that the new islands have a good foundation.
@@BoleDaPole They're more likely to build them out of the stacked bodies of the Uyghurs. The Chinese are better known as the killers of tens of millions than they are as being competent vulcanologist.
The so-called Chinese maritime militia is using propellers mounted on small boats to break corals and dig into the 150 sq km lagoon. The clams are later brought aboard a larger vessel.
“They were also using an underwater hammer. They smashed coral reefs just to get the giant clams. If the government will not do something, then in the next two years, all the swathes of coral and the population of giant clam will be gone,”
There are some major differences between the Chinese south sea bases, and Guam/Okinawa. The last two are large volcanic islands, geological stable and with robust infrastructure. It would take a sizable force to attack them. While they are not near America, they are also not close to China. The Chinese can’t attack them easily, outside of lobbing a few missiles at them. The US has carrier battle groups that can sit outside the first island chain and still easily attack the small and easily defeated Chinese islands. After all small islands can’t support large defenses. Large islands on the other hand can do so easily.
Not to mention the risk of those missiles malfunctioning and hitting countries in between, which would just increase outrage.
The Chinese man-made islands are more symbolic than practical.

As a Vietnamese who spent a lot of time reading book, watching video and learn history at school. Throughout 4000 years, China is the only country that never stop wanting to have a war with Vietnam ( our most recent war was 1979 Sino- Vietnamese war and 1988 Gạc Ma war ) We Vietnamese people deadly love peace, we want to focus on build a good, sustainable, solid society for our people, but our big neighbors thing that what they were doing is good 🥲
vietnamese have repelled chinese attacks for millenia and truly hate the weak chinese army.
Given Vietnam's still fairly recent "contest" with U.S. forces, I'd have to say that one Vietnamese soldier is likely worth at least five Chinese soldiers.
The environmental damage they are doing is huge .
Yes China bullying Philippines even west Philippines sea or South china sea is legally own our territory of the Philippines but what China did they squat how shameless nation! But we never give up we will fight for what is ours because the truth 100% that's Philippines territory never own China!

Let's also not forget how geologically active the region is. Situated, as it is, near to Indonesian earthquake faults and volcanoes, one event could destroy these islands. They all appear to be low lying and vulnerable. Nature may well decide this question. It would not be the first time that nature laughed in the face of man's puny efforts
Hopefully they get a little quake that turns it into quick sand and maybe Xi can play Indiana jones just without the snake to save him

This was something I predicted when China first began constructing artificial islands in international waters.
That is indeed something that could easily be predicted based on precedence alone. However, it is a downright shame if China allowed corruption of that level into military based construction... I would expect executions at the very least for sure‼️‼️‼️💯💯👹
@@Renwoxing13 well said.
@@Renwoxing13
it's just not about corruption alone , they would have maintained good quality in the construction also , the salt in the moisture will make these concrete structures fail !
China start erecting Man Made island is in the territorial waters of Philippines in the West Philippines sea or WPS . So we consider these is illegal;
@@Renwoxing13 In another news article about the Chinese military, a senior military officer when he was arrested, had over 7 military trucks of CASH in his living room and bedroom (7 military trucks, either 7 5/4-tons or 7 deuce and a half-sized trucks) removed; I actually think the photo showed the Chinese equivalent to a deuce and a half, since they had dual-rear double wheels underneath their back axles.
This same officer offered starlets/actresses and even his own daughter (sexually) to get what he wanted several months ago from a higher-ranking Party member...and he sat in his living room while the higher official enjoyed whichever female he chose. Even lower-ranking officers have to bribe their way to higher rank!
Their new Air Marshall recently appointed is the only pilot in their air force to have flown new generation fighters.
During training exercises, the military reports that '20' targets were destroyed during training, when only 4-5 were actually used; the military offcieres pocket the difference in price between actual number and 'reported' number.
Thanks for your video. As an engineer, I noticed you said that concrete was helping "keep the islands afloat". Although, one could say that is an oversimplification of the intent of using concrete, please allow me offer an explanation: The islands appear to have been built by dredging sand from the bottom of the sea near by, and then piling that sand over the existing natural reefs (I know, an environmental disaster right there). One would assume that the 'concrete' was used to provide a retention system to keep the dredged sand from simply washing up to sea with the tides (as the dredged sand more than likely does not have fines like clay to help it keep together), this 'concrete' must have been used as building material for structures in the islands as well. One would also assume that the very dredged sand was also used to make the "concrete", perhaps with the inclusion of coral shards as aggregate, and maybe even using salt water to mix it all together (due to the lack of fresh water, unless they brought that too). So, this 'concrete' is probably no more than an expensive kind of mortar, weakened by the lack of good quality aggregate (like crushed rock/hard stone), and also because of the high salinity in the environment, in the sand and maybe even the salt water used for mixing everything together. Thus, this 'mortar' would be very likely to crumble and "fall apart" (by the chemical action of the salts/water affecting the composition of the cement in the 'concrete'). Even for the best quality concrete, the marine environment is highly corrosive, it affects concrete, steel, and timber, even when fully coated with protective paint or galvanised. A very expensive experiment by the Chinese government, one doomed to fail from the beginning without adequate engineering design and regular maintenance. Time will tell how long the islands stay "afloat".
Yes, the word 'float' raided an eyebrow over here too but that's far from the only completely incorrect statement in this video. Clicking 'do not recommend channel'.
I'm already saying these things are a military disaster waiting to happen happen in a real war.
The logic of having them makes sense but the feasibility isn't there if there already showing weaknesses to just natural phenomena what will happen if a concentrated attack with the kinds of munitions we have today strike them? There isn't any way to protect such a concentrated space and the shock you place down with a multitude of guided missiles and bombs is just slamming into an already frail foundation.
A better phrase would have been to keep the islands heads above water.
You are a grate scholar 👨🏫 gracias
Yes miss leading title. Plz do not reccomend
Another fact you failed to bring on board is the fact the Vietnam built islands before any other nations and it also drilled for oil in disputed territory before any other countries.

And why is this surprising? I haven't even started this video and can reason why. These constructed islands are soil and sand - natural islands are (almost) solid stone. Anyone who has spent time making sand castles knows that the castle only lasts until the tide comes in. The more porous the construct, the easier it is for water to separate individual parts from each other, and whatever is built, flattens to the ocean floor.
Wait, so if China says the Han dynasty discovered the south China sea all those years ago, then that means Mongolia owns most of China.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those islands would sink due to their man-made construction. If they have the same quality as the skyscrapers one have to live at in Shanghai for example, these islands are faster below sea level than they have been built. There are more cracks in our building than windows.
