Did you know that China’s coastline is 32,000 kilometers long? That’s like having a super long beach stretching all around the country! 🏖️
President Xi Jinping wants to make the most of this vast ocean. He believes that building China into a strong maritime (ocean) country is really important for the future of the nation.
Over the past years, Xi Jinping has been encouraging China to explore the oceans and develop new technologies. For example:
- The Fendouzhe (which means Striver) is a deep-sea submersible that can dive deep into the ocean to discover amazing things! 🐠
- The Meng Xiang is China’s first deep-ocean drilling vessel, which can drill up to 11 kilometers deep! 🛳️
By exploring the oceans, China is finding new ways to grow its economy and learn more about our planet. The marine (ocean) economy in China has grown a lot, reaching over 10 trillion yuan in 2024! That’s a really big number! 💰
But it’s not just about making money. Xi Jinping also believes that the oceans should be protected. He says, “We should cherish oceans as we treat our lives.” 🌍❤️
China is working with other countries to keep the oceans peaceful and clean. This way, everyone can enjoy the sea and its resources.
So next time you think about the ocean, remember all the amazing things happening beneath the waves and how countries like China are exploring and protecting this incredible part of our world! 🌊🚢
