据报道，中国在南中国海西沙群岛的羚羊礁进行大规模填海工程，此前该地为水下暗礁，此举引发对其对北京战略价值的质疑。新闻周刊基于欧洲卫星图像报道，疏浚工作于10月15日后开始。北京尚未证实或评论此事。
新闻周刊的报道基于欧洲卫星图像显示，羚羊礁的疏浚工作于10月15日后启动，主要集中在礁体泻湖东侧和南侧的四个地点。此外，在现有哨所和毗邻港口设施两侧似乎已填海造陆。
北京尚未对这些报道作出确认或评论。中国外交部已就此事被联系，但未有回应。
羚羊礁的战略重要性在于其地理位置——距离中国海南岛最南端三亚港约300公里（185英里），距离越南海岸岘港约400公里。该礁位于西沙群岛，是南中国海争议区域的一部分，中国控制该群岛，但越南和菲律宾等国也声称主权。
报道提及的关键词包括美国战略与国际研究中心（CSIS）、南洋理工大学拉贾拉特南国际研究学院、南中国海、菲律宾、越南、中国、羚羊礁、人民解放军、北京和三沙。该事件凸显南中国海紧张局势持续，但来源未提供进一步细节或未来发展。

A team of international researchers has accused the US government of hastening the collapse of coral reefs around Guam through military expansions and proposed rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act. In a letter published in Science this month, they highlight how national security priorities are overriding conservation efforts. Without changes, these reefs face functional extinction similar to those in Florida.
