Located in the Sinh Ton island group of Truong Sa Archipelago (Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam), Tu Nghia (Hughes) Reef is about 15 nautical miles from the reef of Gac Ma (Johnson South), which has been illegally occupied by China since February 28 1988.

Illegal works of China on the Hughes Reef.
Initially, Tu Nghia was a coral reef under wter, whose small tip
was only seen at low tide. After illegally occupying the reef in 1988,
China turned the reef into a small island with a 2-story structure on
it.
Since early 2014, China has expanded this reef on an area of over 6 hectares.
From the distance of a few miles, the illegal construction works of China on Tu Nghia Reef can bee seen very clearly. The construction activities there have been very busy.
