A handout photo, taken Subi Reef in the South China Sea, by provided by CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative on June 5, 2015. Subi Reef is the most recent feature to undergo significant reclamation efforts by China. Originally occupied in 1988, since July of 2014 it has seen significant expansion of the landmass with some analysis suggesting it might have the footprint to support a second airstrip, much like Fiery Cross Reef.
