CHINA AND ITS SOUTH SEA LAND GRAB TO END UNDER THE POTUS TRUMP AS SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON FORCEFULLY CLAIMS IN STRONG WORDS THAT CHINA WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE OVER ANOTHER COUNTRIES CLAIMED OWNERSHIP AND CHINA WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ACCESS TO THESE STOLEN ISLANDS

POINTING toward possible confrontation, Donald Trump’s selection for Secretary of State has likened Beijing’s island-building in the South China Sea to a takeover of another country’s territory.

China will likely be alarmed by former Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson’s Senate confirmation hearing remarks late yesterday.
“We’re going to have to send China a clear signal that first the island-building stops and second your access to those islands is also not going to be allowed,” he said.
While his address focused largely on Russia, reflecting Tillerson’s past relationship with its President Vladimir Putin and allegations of Russian hacking into the US election, his testimony on China presented a sharp change in tone from the Obama administration’s focus on co-operation.
Beijing has reclaimed more than 1200 hectares of land and constructed military-grade infrastructure, and reportedly installed weaponry, on reefs and islets mostly in the Spratly Island chain, where five other governments have territorial claims.
