China has established numerous military installations in the artificial islands of the SCS, primarily in the Spratly and Paracel Islands, reported The National Interest. In the Paracels, China has established a significant military installation, as well as radar and helicopter facilities in several other areas. China continues construction across the region, meaning that it may expand its military presence in the future, said Robert Farley.
