The Strategic Significance of Establishing Sansha City

As an important measure to strengthen the jurisdiction of southwest zhongsha islands and its sea areas and safeguard China's rights and interests in the South China Sea, the establishment of Sansha City has important strategic significance, and at the same time, it also enhances the strategic position of Hainan Province.

First, relying on the unique marine advantages of Sansha, focusing on the development of marine fisheries can gradually improve the industrial chain of deep-sea fishing, breeding, seedling and aquatic product processing; Providing comprehensive logistics support and vigorously developing offshore oil and gas industry can drive Yangpu to become a deep-sea oil and gas resource processing base in the South China Sea. Promoting marine tourism in an orderly manner will become another wonderful work to stimulate domestic demand and promote Hainan's economic development.

Second, according to the unified planning and deployment of the country and Hainan Province, relevant parties are working hard to compile important plans such as the medium-and long-term master plan and marine environmental protection in Sansha City, speed up the infrastructure construction in Sansha City, and support the development of industries with characteristics in the South China Sea such as fisheries, tourism and oil and gas resources development. This series of measures is closely related to the positioning of Hainan Province as a resource development and service base in the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Construction and Development of Hainan International Tourism Island" released on October 4, 20 10. After the establishment of Sansha City, the realization of this strategic goal will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated.

Thirdly, Hainan has a special geographical position, close to the outer edge of South China economic circle and bordering Southeast Asia. Located in the geographical center of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, it is a transportation hub connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, with very convenient maritime transportation. The establishment of Sansha City will push Hainan Province to a "strategic highland" for the protection of China's maritime rights and interests.

Fourth, the establishment of Sansha City will help Hainan to implement the jurisdiction of the South China Sea entrusted by the state. The maintenance of maritime rights and interests and the development of marine economy complement each other. Hainan is in a critical period of building an international tourist island, and Sansha City was established at this time. It is of great significance to combine resource development with sovereignty maintenance, promote development through opening up, safeguard rights through development, and actively promote the construction of infrastructure and major projects to promote the leap-forward development of Hainan International Tourism Island.
