Thomas Berger, Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, discussed in a recent interview the U.S. military reaction to the apparent placement of Chinese missiles on an island with territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

Berger commented in a February 26, 2016 article on The Commententitled “U.S. Says Imagery Appears to Show Chinese Missiles.

From the text of the article:

That is meanwhile strengthening those in the USA, especially in the Pentagon, who “will want to more vigorously challenge China”, said Thomas Berger, an expert on the region at Boston University. Another U.S. official gave a more direct confirmation of the deployment on Woody Island.
