[i]It is also believed that the Chinese bid was low because they are expected to provide their own workers, equipment where practical and even allegedly their own rocks for the project.
All Chinese project and supplying their own fill, huh? Well, they have plenty of experience doing this kind of thing in the Spratly Islands. I predict a localized environmental disaster not only from the toxic crap they will probably have in their fill but Trellis Bay will be forever altered and will silt up to where it is no longer a viable anchorage without a regular dredging operation (assuming one is still allowed to anchor there and that they would want to). I hope I am wrong.
It must be time to race again. My wounds have started to heal.
