On the afternoon of July 30, 2023, the world was once again attracted by five important news, which attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Let's take a closer look at the news and feel the emotion that China brings as a rising power.
On the international political stage, China has risen at an astonishing speed in recent years and has become an important pole in the world. Recently, a news about China's deployment of "heavy weapons" in the South China Sea has once again attracted great attention from 32 countries. The Russian media even lamented: "China has really risen!" This "heavy weapon" is not some high-profile weapon, but a low-key and mysterious engineering ship called "Sky Whale".
The South China Sea, for China, is a geopolitically sensitive sea area full of controversy. The historic South China Sea has been China's territory since ancient times, and as early as the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet sailed this sea area many times. However, the situation in the South China Sea has been grim, and China's sovereign rights and interests have been violated by many parties. In order to change this situation, the Chinese government decided to use the "Sky Whale", the "heavy weapon of the country" in the field of marine engineering.
The Sky Whale is an engineering ship with powerful excavation capabilities, and its emergence has changed the pattern of the South China Sea. In 2013, China began a massive reclamation project in the South China Sea, in which the Celestial Whale played a key role. This giant beast has shown extraordinary ability to dig sand and reclaim the sea, discharging nearly 5,000 cubic meters of sand and gravel per hour to several kilometers away, and the speed of island-building is amazing. Most notably, it helped expand the originally limited Yongjiao Reef into Chinese territory in just half a year, and it was renamed Fiery Cross Island.
The appearance of the Sky Whale not only demonstrates China's strong strength in marine engineering technology, but also shows China's firm position on the South China Sea issue. China emphasizes resolving disputes in the South China Sea through dialogue and reconciliation, not escalation of conflicts. This low-key but firm diplomatic gesture demonstrates China's demeanor as a great power.
However, the South China Sea issue remains complex and severe. Despite China's announcement that the island-building project in the South China Sea has come to an end, various engineering ships remain on standby to deal with possible changes. China has always stressed the need to maintain regional peace and stability, while constantly adapting to changes in the external environment.
The Celestial Whale is not only an engineering ship, but also a symbol of China as a great power in the South China Sea. It demonstrates China's growing strength and determination to actively safeguard regional peace and stability. No matter what the future situation is, China will continue to make greater contributions to regional peace through wisdom and hard work, and display a brand-new national image.
