In relation to warnings about American experts on China’s manufacturing of a series of "mobile islands" in the East Sea, marine expert Phan Vinh Tri, former Director of Information Technology of the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group (Vinashin), said: "The real purpose of China in building mobile island is unpredictable. However, a clear effect that we can see it right now is these mobile islands will enhance the presence of China in the East Sea, anywhere they want and for a longer time. These mobile islands are better resistant to winds and waves, and can accommodate more vehicles and people."
