so this work when china expands to the south china sea and with a body of water in southeast asia so nt of the trade goes in china and the several countries including malaysia and vietnam share claims on this body of water so there is a historical dispute of what area is yours versus mine? it's also the area with oil and gas deposits but is a huge deposit of natural resources. you cannd understand why all the country share the body of water with the economic interest to maintain their claim so what china did was with the first administration it came up with a genius idea the first occupational island in the south china sea. the united states did not object all the other countries nearby were sure what they were doing but then to make sure we can have a station here to help when fishermen get into trouble or report the weather or shipping so people said okay. that's fine so from the first island within 20 years china reclaimed 3000 acresre of land building that occupational onisland to have runway hangers. and then china also declared to establish the district but now it's also china t

this is how the war expanded to the south china sea but the south china sea is unique body of water in south asia with a major trade routes and 90% of the trade going to china goes through water and china in several countries including malaysia the philippines and vietnam share claim that this body of water. sometimes it overlaps. there are disputes as to what gary is yours and what is mine. this is an area with huge mineral oil and gas deposits. it's a huge deposits of national resources he can understand why the country shares this body of water. there's an economic and national security interest to maintain the claim or to extend it. what china did was under the first album administration he came up with this ingenious idea in the south china sea there's a wreath and the united states did not object. they weren't sure what china was doing in china just said oh we want to make sure we can have a station here so we can help when fishermen get in trouble for there is bad weather so they said okay that's fine. within three years china reclaimed 3000 acres of land by building artificial

and china it's important we understand that because now, based on its success in the south china sea now china is using the exact same strategy on the land to deal with defending land border disputes with other countries . so foreign policy last month published a stunning discovery. basically china was building three villages inside the border of bhutan, a small country that shares borders with china. inside its border and even though it's historically and for the longest time even in the 80s china's own mac claimed this land belonged to bhutan but china build three villages there so once they build it it's theirs. and the reason that china did that is really not because it's bhutan's territory. it's basically bhutan is adjacent to india and china and india have been fighting border wars for the last decades so china is playing the long game. they basically want to use bhutan three villages to strategically in an area that's is akin to a holy land . so china wants to use this to force bhutan to make a land exchange. with their own land. basically saying i can give up these three yvill

administration, they came up with this idea at first to build an island, use the reef and one of the south china seas and the united states did not object. they were not sure what china is doing and they want to make sure that we can help when a fisherman gets into trouble or there's a report about whether. so people are like okay that's fine. so within three years, china reclaimed 3,000 acres of land through building artificial islands. with these three years. once they built of the island, there's hangers and radars and china also declared a claim not all of them are china because they built it but also the surrounding water is now the territory so by doing that, the claim to generate that international body of water now is china's own backyard and now any of that access it or exploration trips china will send its aggressive coast guard and to protect china's territory. so it's my strategy. that's what we call the gray zone tactic. it's important we understand that because now based on its success, it's using the same strategy on the land to expand the land border dispute with other countries. so,
