More Evidence of Chinese Naval Ambitions

The Chinese Navy is building a 2nd demagnetization facility at Maocao Nong.

This is significant, because while ships may be flashy and show the flag, you need support infrastructure in order to be able to maintain a reasonable level of operations, and this is yet another example of how the Chinese are building their naval power from the ground up.

On a related note, it's amazing what you can find on Google Earth.
