China has a vast territory, so why does it want to build an artificial island, Yongshu Island?

The reason is very simple, it is simply to serve maritime trade and safeguard sovereignty. Officials also announced that Yongshu Island will be China's largest material distribution center in Nansha. Because it is too far away, long-distance large transport aircraft are needed. ?

First of all, the Chinese nation loves peace. Yongshu Island is just a logistics base when it is not necessary. Below Yongshu Island is a reef called Yongshu Reef, covering an area of ??108 square kilometers. Islands and reefs are generally below sea level and cannot be used by humans. So our country blew sand and reclaimed the sea in the southwest corner of Yongshu Reef, and filled in an artificial island with an area of ??2.6 square kilometers. This is Yongshu Island. Moreover, the water level of Yongshu Reef is relatively shallow and suitable for full filling. Therefore, Yongshu Island has become the most potential artificial island in the South China Sea in the future. This is the general information about this island.

In this round, seven reefs have been upgraded to islands. These seven islands, Meiji Island, Chigua Island, Yongshu Island, Huayang Island, Nanxun Island, Dongmen Island and Subi Island, defend each other in the Nansha Islands and protect my country's sacred and inviolable territory. The peace-loving Chinese nation will only use it for commercial purposes, I hope everyone knows. ?1. The observation station logistics base protects passing ships.

In the early years, under the organization of the United Nations, our country established an observation station on Fiery Cross Reef in the Nansha Islands. The hydrometeorological observation data measured by the observatory provides a large amount of reliable navigation hydrometeorological support for Chinese and foreign ships passing through the South China Sea, ensuring the safety of maritime transportation. ?

After the establishment of Yongshu Island, our country can detect resources in the surrounding areas and conduct scientific research activities. This will enrich our understanding of the distribution of resources around the Nansha Islands and provide a new layout for the future development rate of the Nansha Islands. The marine resources are rich and diverse, with rich fishing grounds, a large number of minerals, and oil fields with abundant reserves. As long as the reserves are proven, our country's resource reserves can be greatly enriched.

In the second half of 2019, good news came from Yongshu Island. Rich freshwater resources were discovered underground on the artificial island Yongshu Island, which further strengthened the role of Yongshu Island. While fulfilling its role as a logistics center, it can also replenish large amounts of fresh water for passing ships.

Islands can provide ships with space to avoid typhoons and tsunamis. The sea surface climate is constantly changing, especially in summer, when typhoons and tsunamis occur one after another. With an island as a support, Fiery Cross Island will play an indelible role in the face of sudden severe weather. With Yongshu Island as the center and radiating to the surrounding areas, it can save the lives of crew members in emergencies. ?2. Dinghai Shenzhen? Defend national interests and safeguard sovereignty.

First of all, it is a national defense watchtower, rooted in the Nansha Islands. The military is stationed here with a large number of long-range early warning radars, which can immediately protect the inviolability of our country's sovereignty. Secondly, there is a saying on the Internet that a good island is a maritime ship-based platform that will never be sunk.

It is like a sea-fixing needle, firmly attached to the Nansha Islands. With the anti-aircraft missiles and even fighter bombers deployed on the islands, our country can take the lead in responding to extreme situations and prevent enemy weapons from falling into our mainland. Refueling and maintenance can also be performed for aircraft taking off and landing here.

For a long time in the past, my country’s sea surface strength has not been very strong. Vietnam and the Philippines have been taking advantage of my country's political situation that is beyond our reach to occupy the islands of my country's Nansha Islands for a long time to carry out a series of oil mining and theft activities and steal my country's property. Carry out a large number of scientific research activities, and the evil spirit will not die.

The Western developed countries, led by the United States, have the first island chain headed by Taiwan Island and the Japanese Islands. Centered on Guam, it consists of Japan's Ogasawara Islands, Iwo Islands and the Mariana Islands of the United States. The second island chain has severely restricted the development of our country's navy. It even instigated the Philippines and Vietnam to compete for control of my country's Hainan. my country has built a large number of artificial islands. It just takes advantage of the way of thinking of “controlling the sea with an island”. Each island is a fortress protecting the country's sovereignty. We are also purely self-protecting and cannot allow the Hainan Islands to be restricted any more. ?

In fact, it is essential to build artificial islands in the Nansha Islands. Since our country is already the second largest economy in the world, a large number of ships pass through the Nansha Islands every year. In line with a responsible attitude, our country must establish a base here to maintain the safety of ships. Preventing piracy and rescuing the wounded are what a responsible big country should do.
