Philippines Suspends The Project! China’s $620 Million Water City | Total Area of 360 Hectares.

#china #chinanews #project #philippines #usa Manila is the capital of the Philippines. Although it only covers an area of 638.5 square kilometers, it has to accommodate a population of more than 20 million. This figure directly reveals the astonishing extent of Manila’s population density. In order to solve the problem of insufficient land, the Philippine government has adopted a unique strategy—reclaiming land from the ocean, which has become their preferred solution for expanding urban development space. As early as 2019, China won the contract for the Pasay reclamation project in Manila Bay, Philippines. This project includes design and construction, with a total value of up to 620 million US dollars. According to the plan, Chinese companies will carry out reclamation projects in Manila Bay to create three artificial islands with a total area of 360 hectares. If all goes well, it is expected that by 2025, the reclamation project will be completed and officially put into use. Surprisingly, however, the $620 million reclamation project has sparked concern in the United States. Because the Chinese companies involved have been sanctioned by the United States for reclamation and island building in the South China Sea. At the same time, the United States also believes that these projects undertaken by China may cause serious pollution to the environment and even affect the strategic position of the United States in the Philippines. So, why did the Philippines choose to hand over these two reclamation projects to China? What kind of threat will these artificial islands pose to the United States? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
