Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, an important central city in northwest China, and an international business center facing Central Asia and West Asia. It is the political, economic, cultural, scientific, educational and transportation center of Xinjiang. The whole city covers an area of 142 16.3 square kilometers, governs 7 districts 1 county, and has a resident population of 3.55 million at the end of 20 16. Urumqi is Mongolian, meaning "beautiful pasture". Originally, it was a nomadic area in western Mongolia and Huoshuotebu. After twenty years of Qianlong, the end of the Junggar khanate has been decided, and the name has been determined. Urumqi is located in the northwest of China, in the hinterland of Eurasia, and adjacent to Central Asian countries. It has the title of "Asia Capital" and has been an important hub for communication between the East and the West since ancient times. Today, it is a big city (2,500 kilometers), the most inland city in the world and the farthest from the ocean and coastline.

Huangyan Island, which was first discovered and named in China, has been used and managed for a long time. According to the Paris-Spain Treaty and other international treaties and the modern map of the Philippines, it is not within the territory of the Philippines; The government of the Republic of China has long been in charge of Huangyan Island, and the United States has long recognized it as the China. For example, in the 1950s, the US Navy in the Philippines applied to the residual regime of Chiang Kai-shek (representing China at the United Nations at that time) and was approved. It sent geologists to Huangyan Island and Beizi Island from 1957 to 1958, but the United States did not give up this recognition later, which is a continuation. In the early 1970s, the US military stationed in the Philippines used Huangyan Island as a training range. It can be seen that China was exercising the sovereign jurisdiction of Huangyan Island in modern times, and the people of China and the government of China later inherited and exercised this sovereignty.
