China reclaims Zhongjian Island from the Vietnamese, what changes have occurred, and what will Zhongjian Island look like in 50 years?
Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country, bordering the South China Sea, with a long and narrow territory in an S-shape. It borders Guangxi and Yunnan in China and faces Hainan Island, the Xisha Islands, and the Nansha Islands across the sea. The longest north-south distance is about 1640 kilometers, the widest east-west distance is about 600 kilometers, and the narrowest point is only 50 kilometers. Among the islands in the South China Sea, the closest to the Vietnamese mainland is Zhongjian Island of the Xisha Islands, with a straight-line distance of 250 kilometers at sea, facing the waist of Vietnam, facing the old capital of Vietnam, Hue, and the military base of Da Nang, and is relatively close to the famous military base of Cam Ranh in southern Vietnam.
