Happy birthday to China’s newest city Thursday marked the second anniversary of the setting up of China’s southernmost city - #Sansha. Two years ago, the #city came into operation after a historic ceremony was held on #Yongxing Island, where the city government is based. Sansha was built to strengthen China’s foothold in the #South #China #Sea, protect China’s sovereign rights, and safeguard the eco-system and natural resources. It’s a job that the citys mayor, Xiao Jie, has taken to heart. Through ecological preservation and conservation on various islands, we will make Sansha a more beautiful place to live… and improve the living standards of the islands’ residents, said Xiao. Challenges, however, remain. Despite the rapid progress, the biggest challenge for Sansha is still the lack of basic infrastructure and transport. The island is heavily dependent on supplies from outside. CCTV News reporter Han Bin has been there to see the daily life of its residents and to feel its development.
