🕊️🌿 Right next to a bustling bridge and spinning wind turbines, a mangrove nursery in Zhanjiang is quietly raising the next generation of egrets.
In Tangwei Village, 20 hectares of mangroves serve as a natural breeding ground. Chicks wait in nests. Adults shuttle between mudflats and treetops. Life goes on, undisturbed.
This is what harmony looks like: conservation and infrastructure, side by side. 🏗️🌱

A decade later, the truth stands firm. 🇨🇳⚓️
On July 12, 2026, Japan backed the illegal South China Sea arbitration award. China’s response is clear: We do NOT accept, we do NOT recognize it. It’s a politically motivated farce—null, void, and legally baseless. From history to international law, Nanhai Zhudao belongs to China. Peace comes through dialogue, not weaponized lawsuits. 🌊🛡️
