南海诸岛不再以插图形式展现在中国地图上

A publishing company in Central China’s Hunan province has released China’s first map with its islands in the South China Sea in the main illustration, rather than in the inset as in all such maps before.

The new map shows detailed geographic information about China’s Dongsha, Xisha, Nansha and Zhongsha islands. And it is now longer from north to south than west to east, compared with its original version.

Experts say the new map will help people better understand China’s large sea territory.
