[DX-NEWS] Baldwin's Reef May Reappear

[Walter Deemer]

China on Thursday said it was unhappy at reported Japanese plans to 
build a port on a remote Pacific atoll, which Beijing fears Toyko 
will use to stake a claim to a large swathe of ocean as an exclusive 
economic zone.

Okinotori, also known as Douglas Reef or Parece Vela, is some 1,700 
km (1,050 miles) south of Tokyo.

Japan has already built facilities such as a lighthouse there, and 
poured in concrete to make sure the atoll does not slip totally 
beneath the waves.
