have called on Beijing to halt those projects, saying they are
destabilizing an increasingly militarized region. [...] Unnamed Pentagon officials said last week that the U.S. Navy may soon receive approval to sail a ship inside the 12-nautical mile (21-kilometer) territorial limit surrounding China's man-made islands, reported the Navy Times, which is closely affiliated with the U.S. Navy. ASEAN member Philippines on Wednesday gave strong backing for such a move."
