BEIJING: China may build mobile nuclear power plants in the South China Sea, state media reported on Friday, days after an international tribunal dismissed Beijing's vast claims in the strategically vital waters.
"Marine nuclear power platform construction will be used to support China's effective control in the South China Sea," the website of the state-run Global Times cited the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) as saying on a social media account.
The Global Times cited the report as saying that "marine nuclear power platforms will be used" in the islands and reefs of the Spratly chain in the contested sea "to ensure freshwater".
The original report was deleted from CNNC's account on social media platform WeChat on Friday, and a staffer at the firm told AFP that it "needed to confirm" its accuracy.
"In the past, the freshwater provision to troops stationed in the South China Sea could not be guaranteed, and could only be provided by boats delivering barrels of water," the Global Times cited the report as saying.
"In the future, as the South China Sea electricity and power system is strengthened, China will speed up the commercial development of the South China Sea region," it added.
China has rapidly built up reefs in the sea into artificial islands in recent months, installing civilian and military facilities on them.

China will destroy it physically if the world does not recognize the south china sea area and (man-made) islands as my territory

chernobyl and fukishima weren't big enough nuclear goofs, we need floating nuclear goofs built by retards on unstable, disputed, fake 'landmasses' of sand and reef.
at this point no religion, no ideology, no mad man will kill us faster than the chinese and their stupid plans.
wtfffffffffffff earth
If it floats, we can kill it

>not "The Very Very Very Far West USA Patch of Ocean (Do The Dew™)"
wtf I hate china now
If it wasn't the Chinese I would give far less of a shit
But the Chinks are terrible at tech and cut corners like crazy so knowing they are building nuclear plants in the ocean when their own nuclear plants are shit is disturbing
