No one knows what these hexagonal structures the Chinese keep building in South China Sea are for
Satellite imagery published by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), a unit of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, shows several unidentified hexagonal structures on Fiery Cross, Subi, and Mischief reefs.
The formations are always oriented toward the sea and started to appear in May according to experts at AMTI.
"I'm afraid I can't comment just yet," Gregory Poling, director of AMTI told Business Insider about the hexagonal designs. "But the reason we put them out like this is to collect opinions from other experts in the field."
It has been nearly a month since the Hague-based court invalidated Beijing's vast territorial claims in the South China Sea. All the while, Beijing maintains ruling has no bearing and continues to build in the region.
