China has 20 outposts in the Paracel Islands and 7 in the Spratlys. It also controls Scarborough Shoal, which it seized in 2012, via a constant coast guard presence, though it has not built any facilities on the feature. Since 2013, China has engaged in unprecedented dredging and artificial island-building in the Spratlys, creating 3,200 acres of new land, along with a substantial expansion of its presence in the Paracels.

This did not happen overnight. There is no way that the US military is not aware of their activities.
How they plan to use the information is another story.
With all the land that China has, as well as the huge number of people, it has to be a strategically move.
China has "14" bordering countries. Their seaward side is the side they can strengthen with the least amount of conflict. And the most logical to secure.
