China's South China Sea Land Reclamation Aims to Delay External Forces in Taiwan Conflict
A report by Taiwan's National Defense Security Research Institute suggests China's land reclamation in the South China Sea, particularly at Antelope Reef, aims to delay external military intervention in a Taiwan conflict. The expanded area is intended to create a "fortress zone" and a "layered fortress" to deter and slow down US and allied forces, buying China crucial 48-72 hours for amphibious landings and blockades in the Taiwan Strait.
