Recently, China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2 (Snow Dragon 2) returned to Shanghai after completing its 41st Antarctic expedition.
"This expedition involved research institutions and scientists from eight countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Malaysia," said Gu Wu, director of the Department of Marine Strategic Planning and Economy of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China. This has provided effective support for the protection of the Antarctic marine ecosystem and international governance, and is an important practice of China's active participation in international ocean governance.
In 2024, the maiden international voyage of China's deep-sea manned submersible Jiaolong carried scientists from eight countries, including Canada, Spain and Mexico, to jointly conduct research on marine biodiversity conservation with Chinese scientists.
In response to the UN Decade of Ocean Science initiative, China established a national committee for the implementation of the Decade of Ocean Science and developed a national action plan.
China also actively participates in international ocean governance, providing many public services. As of the end of 2024, under the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, China has conducted more than 300 training courses, providing training opportunities for more than 6,000 young scientists from developing countries.
With China's participation, the Port of Piraeus in Greece has become the fourth largest container port in Europe; the Port of Gwadar in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is becoming a logistics hub and industrial base; the key high-quality joint construction project of the "Belt and Road" between China and Peru, the Port of Chancay, has started operation, becoming a new channel between Asia and Latin America for sea and land transportation in the new era.
In the first half of this year, Fujian Province opened the first direct container route to Ecuador, Yancheng Port in Jiangsu Province launched a new direct route to Jordan, the first batch of trains on the Jinhua-Turkmenbashi-Baku Trans-Caspian International Transport Route was launched, and the first Fuzhou-Quanzhou-Thailand combined sea and rail transport was completed.
In addition, the ocean is a link for interaction between people of different countries. According to the latest statistics, in the first half of this year, the total passenger flow of cruise ships and the number of cruise ships received by Chinese ports increased by 40.1% and 33.7% year on year, respectively.
