Girls, Gardening, Puppies, And Pigs: Life On China's Disputed Man-Made Islands
On April 17, we introduced readers to Fiery Cross Reef, one of China’s man-made islands in the disputed waters of the South China Sea. Since then, Beijing’s land reclamation efforts have sparked an international firestorm, complete with war games, threats, a confrontation between a US spy plane carrying a CNN crew and the PLA Navy, World War 3 chatter, and, of course, references to Nazi Germany.
Amid the rhetoric, China has maintained it has every right to protect its “legitimate” territorial claims by constructing thousands of acres of sovereign land and, if necessary, enforcing a no-fly zone above the new islands.
But while Beijing admits its Spratly sand castles will indeed be used for military purposes, it also says the primary goal of the entire dredging effort is to assist China in carrying out the country's “various civilian demands and international obligations and responsibilities in the area such as maritime search and rescue, disaster prevention and mitigation, marine scientific research, meteorological observation, ecological environment conservation, navigation safety as well as fishery production service.”
Now, Beijing has embarked on what looks like a propaganda campaign to show that despite attempts by the US and its regional allies to cast aspersions, island life in the Spratlys is all about girls, gardening, puppies, and pigs.
Behold: life on Fiery Cross Reef:

Yeah Baby, where do I sign up?
Why were those US cops in the second to the last picture?
LOL! From the days of good old forums, I grant you the sacred
/thread
What? No little red books?
Looks like we're getting back to the old Cold War days really fast.
Except we is friends with Charlie now??
Is OK if they love me long time for $15...

Americans don't want to see this!
They want Michael and Barry posing for selfies!
Seriously!?
Where are the TRANNIES?
More Moo Goo Ding Dong preeze!!

Why the pigs have no eyes?
Those are some pretty shitty looking pigs, honestly.
Beauty is in the eye of the bacon-beholder.
Didn't most of the James Bond series villains have islands staffed by beautiful women?
Anyway... they eat the pigs and the puppies in China...
Oh, me ruv yo sexy brew camofrage
Ya gotta hand it to the Chinese.
With all the tough talk from the John Kerry et al, they are wagering that the U.S. would never bomb an island full of women.
Pretty smart.
American'ts are just jealous...
Awesome misuse of the apostrophe Einstein.
Danke! We're from the same place.
Nothing like military camo to give you that tropical isle vacation feeling.
I would think by now the US would just HAARP it by causing an underwater earthquake in the region sending a 30 ft tall tsunami their way.
American't sold HAARP tech to the Chinese years ago....
Stop copying from Once Upon A Time In Mexico.
It's "Are you a Mexican or a Mexican't?" so find something original
Fucking Chinese never have a new idea...
Why is that such a stretch for you? The USA is basically now 'Mexico'. So...are you and American, or an American't?
ps, new ideas are great and all...but all you do is 'think' about shit without ever executing it. Hence the 'patent' wars. Good luck keepin your ip.
Is this propaganda meant for consumption by domestic Chinese or is this just a Chinese way of saying "FUCK YOU" to uncle scam?
er...I'm German Hawaiian. Facts are fucking FACTS. Uncle Sam gets a 'FUCK YOU' without any Goebbels.
hardly resemble "Cast Away", no?
Grey - ish Camo??
I greatly prefer flesh tones.
Nor puppies and the porkers are probably there to keep ISIS away.
Of course Kerry could counter by sending in some porn/viagara addicted marines to finish the job...
You must mean "... porn/viagra/oxycontin addicted marines ...."
Some military person on NPR the other day said more then 40% of veterans from Bush's war [and continued and extended by Barry] now have "drug problems."
Yep, that's where anyone goes to get "accurate" "news"--NPR.
I heard that interview also and it's with the head of Veterans' Affairs so the data is theres, not NPRs. He's a general of some sort and also cited the difficulty of getting, " a few good men " as recruits since so many Yutes now have drug histories or felony records.
America, 21st Century.
Things are improving from the 'Nam days I see.
"they are wagering that the U.S. would never bomb an island full of women.
Pretty smart."
Why is that? Maybe you missed the news. Every thinking person knows by now, Obummer and the USA have a fetish about bombing wedding parties. In most parts of the world, wedding parties are full of women.
And Ugly Americans wonder why they're hated.
But I'm not ugly. Momma says I'm just a late bloomer.
Ya gotta hand it to the Chinese.
With all the tough talk from the John Kerry et al, they are wagering that the U.S. would never bomb an island full of women.
Pretty smart.
Speaking of the long face... has anyone seen hm since his 'cycling accident'? (forgive me if this is a stupid question, as I don't watch TV so for all I know he's been on constantly)
A long time ago, when they dumped the Vietnamese refugees in California post Vietnam, my wife related a story...
Her dog went missing one day. She asked some of the new Vietnamese children on the block if they had seen her dog.
Two of them replied "Your dog taste good"...
Standard Disclaimer: Unfettered/Illegal/Refugee Immigration - turning first world countries into third world shitholes faster than you can say Jack Robinson.
yes they do look kind of shitty, this is how a healty pig should look:
http://rt.com/usa/264137-us-pig-run-police/
I think they are slant eye pigs.
What's the dog for I wonder?
well it IS an island full of women, with no men to be seen...
Personally, I love puppies, but these ones look kind of small, don't they? Just a handful really.
Chinese pigs???
See no evil ?
Excellent question. They appear to have been cut out of all of them.
These are fake photos. Some of the buildings and other structures are dirty & worn from years of use.
if you zoom the picture they do have eyes hiding behind the ears
Show some chicks in military fatigues and most ZH-ers will immediately abandon their national loyalty and run straight into a totalitarian regime's open and 'welcoming' arms. Like a naive little child who is given a cookie by a child abductor.
China is the "template" for the NSA, and these are the people you worship? Just because you have some vain hope that China will introduce a gold standard, you're willing to cheerlead a brutal and ruthless (Tiananmen Square) regime?
What a bunch of fucking naive nazi idiots here!
p.s. yes, naive nazi idiots, perhaps this will change your anti-semitical views, Girls of the IDF: https://www.google.com/search?q=girls+of+the+idf&newwindow=1&biw=1920&bi...
Chinese girls are Hot but the pretty ones won't talk to you unless you're worth at least $1/2 million and have your own house/aprtment there. Times have changed there and after all their QEs all people think about there is money ... for the most part.
Supply and demand. After years of the one child rule and the disproportionate stillbirths of females in families that wanted their one child to be male the male/female ratio in that age range is fairly distorted. The numbers may not be enormous but price didscovery is at the margins.
This is my weapon, this is my gun.
Lol, almost lost my bacon.
Spratly a Go Go. $5 bar fine
I just got back from there....BF is .005 BTC, Short time is .15 BTC, and Long Time is .5 BTC. USD not accepted.
English dude! :D
"Why were those US cops in the second to the last picture?"
You mistake them with Mercs and Neocons, I think.
Bacon and girls...sounds like my thing.
reminds me of an Asian "In Like Flint" movie
Fancy French cold cream make good lube. ,,, those are some seriously sexy "peace corps types" ,, a great way to make an military move against them a stone cold loser ,, The Philippines would love to make a deal with the Chinese over these islands for a small cut of the oil... they don't have the military to send China away and the US won't lend them a hand .. time to make a deal...
LBFMz will show PLAN cutiez how it is done.
All thats missing is beer...
But I’ll bring my own!
Makin' Bacon, bitchez.
So, are the pigs for food or the puppies? Or is it both?
+1. Damn.
These Chinese have got to be identified as the sickos of the world! Them and the russians.
Damn them to hell!
Time for your annual psychiatric exam. Might I also recommend you get your genetic make-up tested?
Roo-roo-rooooh!
Poetic Justice .... the Chicoms .... shoot down a Russian Aeroflot civilian airliner .... flying over Spratly airspace ?
They're not makin it easy - are they threatening in their uniforms or welcoming in their cuteness. Do they all gotta lean suggestively? Dafuq is going on here!
Skin to win, Babies!
sure looks like a lot of Ticky Ticky Washy Washy or non-threatening miltary poses (and smiles).
Maybe they are airline stewardess in traing - ?
Why is the guy watering an obviously irrigated grow bed with a watering can?
They are all posing with their bums way out... like playboy pinups,
<< They are all posing with their bums way out... like playboy pinups, >>
You got a problem with that!?
I know it, strangely turned on for some reason.
It's all Fun & Games, till somebody gets poked (somewhere).
it's amusing to hear obese, unattractive american men mull over who they would or wouldn't do.
I can dream can't I ? Besides, I'm not an American.
We're all 6'3, 200 lbs and look like movie stars!
And, the streets are paved with gold.
I also use brand new C-Notes to wipe my arse.
+1
I wonder if Chinese army have a foreign legion and what formality and test you need to pass.
send me to those islands!!!
ni hao!!!
For some reason this Island isn't coming up on Orbitz!! I'd like to use my miles to spend a week there.
Join the US Navy.
So, the chicoms are mobilizing their youth/military? Well, I am shocked, just shocked I tell you.
Asian chicks aren't my thing, but I suppose they'll do in a pinch.
^^He's into big hairy Wendigos like Moochelle^^
Looks like you're in the minority.
Girls and heavy artillery...
Q: What do you call Chinese lezbos?
A: Tu Kan Chu, or Chu Manchu. Or...
I'm taking Mandarin lessons!
My 9th grader was in his 2nd year. Max Keiser: "Hong Kong is a city of 7 million entreupreneurs".
Mandarin lessons? Orange you glad you did?
Don't waste your time learning the language. There's software you talk into in English, press a button and it spits out a pretty good translation in Mandarin.
Skinny pigs with no eyes? WTF?
Dude, they're Chinese pigs. Stop being raycis!! (no, really though - where the hell are their eyes!?)
Better than to TFTF (too fat to fight): https://i.imgur.com/50LU53V.jpg
One of the (minor) reasons I got out. That and the blind support for Israhell among officers. On a positive note a lot of the more intelligent enlisted folks aren't buying it.
On a negative note: US Military hiring more dummies and fatties....and promoting the dummies.
+1 skateboarder. Pigs eyes are there; you can't see them cause the ears are blocking view. Look at cop I mean pig in very upper left.
That is the new version of fresh MRE the army is testing out.
Yep, to replace the "culturally sensitive" versions of Meals Rejected by Ethiopians.
Monsanto's pigs don't need no stinkin eyes,
It's all fun and games until the Super Typhoon comes.
Oh come the fuck on, just look at a fucking map ... dumping some sand in the ocean and then claiming you own the fishing grounds and mineral rights at wading distance from multiple nations is nothing less than invasion.
Just because China disagrees with the US here doesn't mean China isn't contemptible in this.
Maybe so, but what are those other nations going to do about it? Sovereignty is a great thing, and worth defending, but you have to be able to back up your words.
Develop (biological) weapons of mass destruction most likely ... with China as your neighbour it just makes a whole lotta sense.
Better don't invite troubles, you idiot!
Sound advice ... but the potential for asymetrical warfare is only going to get greater, whatever some nobody on the internet or some internet tough guy's opinions. So your government might want to take it to heart as well.
China has been around for 10,000 years
They will be there to see the sun set on the USA
Sunset on USA probably means sunset on all of Earth. Nuclear winter does not discriminate.
My point is: USA will not ride happily away into the sunset. USA will fire off their nuclear arsenal as a parting gesture.
And USA will cease to be. No, you are not some Muslim fanatics to willingly relinquish life. And you cannot intimidate the other half of the world. By "you" I mean your rulers. How good are you at mathematics? Have you gone past adding and subtracting? If so, it shouldn't be too hard for you to see the solution.
Don't know for sure, but my bet is that one of the two needed for the launch sequence has a brain and a heart.
It only takes one 5-7 megaton nuclear warhead to end life in all of Murica. Dwell on that.
Been dwellin on that since they told me to hide under the desk in the 60's.
If Murica think it can parasitize on the world via printing worthless paper and intimidating others to accept it, Murica is going to be destroyed. The East will stop trading with the West, they won't go into war... unless attacked, and then you get annihilated. Murica will then cease to be. It is that simple. It comes a point where Western parasites have to start working and producing. Or you can keep dreaming that you can intimidate SCO, the Eastern allience. This is no Iraq, Lybia or Afghanistan.
Admit you want to sport a giant gold chain and cruise around Miami in a convertible.
No, I don't. Vanity-seeking things never actually attracted me.
No, China hasn't been around for 10,000 years. It's 60 years old, and you speak orientalist mumbo-jumbo.
Same government?
Morality has no place in geo-politics,nether does the marquis of Queensbury .
Uncle Scams actions should have proven that.
Or in the vernacular, don't bring a knife to a gunfight,
Oh fine, I can use that argument ... morality has no place in politics period.
If you aren't willing to go to Washington and shoot a bitch you should just shut the fuck up and take it. So that's taken care of 99% of discussion on this site, what shall we discuss instead?
I said geo politics.
Domestic politicos were supposed to be moral to their own.The other sob's not so much.
The bunch we have now are amoral and one step away from death camps right now.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had to accept your moral argument ("supposed") to where morality should be relevant and where it should be irrelevant ...
Polo
Never played polo have you ?
Its like rugby on horses.Anything goes, and someone usually gets hurt badly.
Oftentime some ponies are ridden to death.
Never see PETA complain about it though.
I've petted a polo pony before!
He wasn't dead though.
(really unsure of proper response Sir Whinny)
Winny does not understand Marco ... Polo. I think pools appear less frequently in the UK than in certain parts of 'Merica.
Didn't look at his avatar.Thought it was a dumb comment.
So they ride their ponies in swimming pools where you are ?
You don't even know what a word "invasion" mean, you Muricano moron, yet English is your mother tongue (there you go why Muricans as a nation does and cannot exist: your all culture is derived from a foreign source; you have no authentic, original language, and from there no culture of your own).
And moron, invasion means incursion of an army for conquest or plunder. That is the definition of a word "invason." Now enlighten the morons who upvoted you, who exactly did the Chinese army invaded here? Fish, crabs and clams? You retard!
Your proficiency at roadside shitting is unquestionable.
Invasion of crabs is a crime.
That's India.
Actually, it's the classic adding your labor to unclaimed resources activity that gives rise to property. "Invasion" is what Europe did to the Americas in order to claim they owned the land.
Those seas have been fished for 10s of thousands of years.
Did they wok the dog?
Did you hear the title of the new Chinese cook book?
"101 Ways to Wok your dog"
It's flying off the shelves
Pretty cute. If I wanted to dillute my DNA in the 3 billion strong Asian genepool and have scrawny little weaklings for children I'd marry an Asian chick. But only white women can give birth to white sons and that makes even American cows tolerable to some degree.
And your son will eventually work for her son. Congratulations!
30% of Chinese graduate high school.
You haven't been to the countryside of China, where only 42% can pass a test of Mandarin proficieny (Mandarin, as in, the language that all China should speak) and )Deliverance is screened as a Victorian comedy of manners.
Enjoy your delusions.
Sounds like US, except over here everybody graduates high school but much fewer than 42% can pass a test of English proficiency... And their Mandarin is far harder to learn than our English...
They're quick studies; we're slow learners.
Well, US and China have something else in common, then.
I applaud the poorly hidden racism of the typical Japanese, Korean, or Chinese man. I have Asian friends and even the ones that are half white are basically Asian supremacists. Good for you. We'll meet on the field of battle and may the best man win.

We must seem like Gods to you. Able to harness such power through our superior intellect. We made your supposed God-emperor admit he was just a man. Who knows what white genius will conjure up next time? Maybe we'll crash the moon into Asia and wipe you all out at once.
Don't. Fuck. With. Us.
You talk like a willy and sure enough you sound thick ! A lousy example for a supposedly white "supremacist"...
Yeah, you're going to meet someone, anyone on the field of battle. R-i-i-i-i-ght. Typical big talking keyboard commando, with which ZH has been infested of late.
Of course, you might be engaging in trolling of such sublime subtlety that I am unable to perceive it as yet. If so, my hat is off to you, good sir.
I am going to use your post as an example to others of pure American hubris and narcissism. You are truly exceptional. lmfao.
Yeah, "with such power, given to us by god's hand, we cannot be wrong", right? ;)
Hi fucker, Japan (and Korea) will rise again one day (when things will get critical about their own existence especially their demographics) and USA invader will be kicked out ASAP and Japan retrieving his ASIAN roots.
US go home !
About the Emperor: he is still respected and even worshiped.
Regarding the American variety, the boner says no.
If marrying a white woman would have given me someone like you for a son, then I am very happy that I chose otherwise.
Your reverse racism is showing. Thick Willie's attitudes are not hereditary (physically that is).
So what you're saying is there will definitely be no correlation between stupidity in himself and in whatever children he might bear? Good to know.
No, that is not what I'm saying. Your reaction has preceded your understanding.
