Bases have been being built for a while, what's happened on Trumps watch is they've actually militarised them and moved weapons in, why the fuck that's been allowed is any ones guess.
Trump cancelled TPP day one of his presidency, that handed China the area no repercussions and it was also the ultimate gift for Russia. TPP hasn't been replaced with nothing from the USA to slow China significantly so basically USA just needs to get the fuckout now and let China progress.
