Thitu Island


Thitu Island

       Just some background info on this very little island in the South China sea:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thitu_Island

If you read the translation by the Chinese Daily Mail  ( http://www.infowars.com/china-set-to-seize-south-china-sea-island-by-force/ ) , the article is saying they will send in their Marines to seize the island from the Filipinos, who have been there 40 years or so. Many others claim it , too.

 

Anyway, the intent is to provide some background, just in case; and because the place has a runway.

 

I assume the Chinese objective is over the minerals under the island and area, but don’t really know.  Thitu is in the Spratly Islands.
