Why China's military ascendance matters
China is dramatically expanding their military to counter the U.S.
The icy continent of Antarctica could prove to be the location of the next geopolitical battleground, as China announced Monday it's preparing to build its first permanent airport at the South Pole.
The site, located about 17 miles away from the Zhongshan Antarctic Station, was surveyed by the 33rd Antarctic expedition in 2017 and will "greatly facilitate the nation's research and expedition" on the continent, state media reported.
The airfield will initially have one runway that will be roughly 4,900 feet in length.
"More flat runways will be built later to accommodate large fixed-wing planes," state media reported.
