China has approved the construction of a deepwater research facility in the South China Sea, set to be built at a depth of 2,000 meters. This cold seep ecosystem station will be one of the most advanced underwater structures, with a projected completion date of 2030. The project holds significant strategic and scientific value, particularly amid ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The facility will contribute to underwater research and expand China's technological capabilities in the marine environment.
