The government of China's southernmost Sansha City has hired 12 experts to advise local environment protection and improving city planning, local authorities said Monday.

The environment protection commission consists of academics from China's top environment academies and professors from universities famous for construction and city management. The panel will help deal with issues such as the vulnerable eco-system and bad weather conditions, said Xiao Jie, Sansha mayor and Communist Party of China city chief.

Huang Liangmin, with the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized the importance of the panel, of which he is a member.

"Sansha administers a unique and precious area of environmental assets formed over thousands of years, and they will be very difficult to restore if damaged," Huang said, adding that he and fellow members will try their best to provide scientific advice for Sansha's development.

Sansha City, on Yongxing, one of the Xisha islands in Hainan Province, was officially established in 2012 to administer the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups and their surrounding waters in the South China Sea.

China has taken a variety of measures to enhance local environment, including building sewage plants, launching green projects and cracking down on environmental crimes.

Across China: Young City Thrives in South China Sea

The young city of Sansha, encompassing a number of South China Sea islands, will soon put its waste treatment facilities into use for the first time, marking a step closer to its transformation to a modern city.

As landfills and discharge of untreated water have affected the fragile environment, the project is aimed at addressing mounting sewage and trash generated by habitants and the flux of tourists and business people in Sansha, which will see its third birthday on Friday.

Located on Yongxing Island (as photo shows), the wastewater treatment plant is designed with a daily capacity of 1,800 tonnes.

China Deploys Ultra-Modern Destroyer to Base on S. China Sea Island / Sputnik International

The Chinese navy reportedly has commissioned the second of its Type 052D Luyang III class destroyers earlier this month and deployed the ship to its fleet in the South China Sea.

The destroyer, dubbed Yangsha, is likely to operate from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) base at Yalong Bay on Hainan Island, reports Jane's Defense Weekly.

China Beefing Up Its Anti-Submarine Warfare Capabilities

The Type 052D features a universal vertical launch weapon system capable of firing anti-air, anti-surface, anti-submarine, and land attack missiles – a system not found on the preceding Type 052C.

Earlier this month, the seventh Type 052D emerged from the building shed at a shipyard in Shanghai and joined the sixth member of class which is currently fitting out, Jane’s reported. Builders have also made significant progress on the hulls of the eighth and ninth ships, circulating photographs show.

Type 054A Jiangkai II class frigates Yangzhou and Handan – the 19th and 20th ships of the class – have been handed over to the PLAN and are believed to have been commissioned, or will be shortly, Jane’s reports. Four more are under construction at two shipyards.

On July 17, the latest Type 056 Jiangdao class corvette was launched at a shipyard in Huangpu. This is the 27th of the class and the eighth to be equipped with variable depth and towed array sonars.

Reports suggest that two days later, the 22nd of class, Suqian, also an ASW variant, was commissioned. Earlier in the month, the sixth Type 056 to be built at the Lushun Liaonan shipyard was launched, Jane’s reports.

A week earlier, two auxiliaries were commissioned – the semisubmersible heavy lift ship Donghaidao and Type 904A resupply ship Junshanhu.
