Better watch out for China coming over to claim it.
Historical engravings in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang depict him foreseeing the rise of an island off the coast of Japan 2234 years after his death, to be claimed by his successors.
What’s the Chinese character for dibs?
So fucking stupid they try and pull that shit lol
I can't tell if this is real and china is already calling dibs, or if you made it up right now.
Too late, boomers already bought it all and are renting it out
Dibs.
Who is calling dibs
Already called my land agent.
Dear Leader Xi, of course.
Here, we can see another illustration of the difference in philosophy between the modern Chinese and Japanese production and manufacturing culture. Japanese island architects have been carefully cultivating this undersea mount for generations, using painstaking traditional techniques, which are only now showing true signs of paying off; in contrast, Chinese island architects almost exclusively stick to rapid-fill dredging combined with concrete pours on top of coral reefs, which are generally considered to be a far less elegant and lower quality way of producing an island.
Maybe a testament to the effects of the uber nationalistic, hyper-competitive nature of the chinese economy. Get nitpicky about the how of what you're going to do and someone else will take the contract. Get too good at what you do and you risk government assimilation.

Am I the only one seeing Godzilla here?
This is probably not good news, but damn, that’s fuckin cool
Why, is it dangerous?
Because China will claim that it's their hereditary rightful property.
I'm def gonna caveat this right up front by saying it's a reasonable, non-racist joke based on recent behaviors and conflicts, just as much as it's sadly funny to make similar jokes about the US invading countries full of brown people and oil. Sometimes things are bitterly funny because they're true.
If you are trying to build on it or roast marshmallows.
New land is always dangerous
Facebook comments be like “why are we sending money to Japan to build an island? We deserve the new island more! America first!”
Dibs, called it
Aww so cute
No I'm fucking cares. If you don't have something to write news about, don't write any news
No I'm fucking cares.
imagine not only being a dick, but a stupid dick
How about you fucking care about yourself for once rather than taking put your anger online
Work on yourself, meditation can help with that
