Menghai

In describing activities by revolutionary committees at various levels, the report gave several brief accounts of how the Iliang County Revolutionary Committee decided to send a comfort team to a remote area where only three PLA fighters were maintaining the telephone lines; how the responsible persons of a certain county crossed the Nuchiang River and scaled the high Kaolikung Mountain to comfort a small PLA group in an outpost; and how Menghai County Revolutionary Committee in Hsishuangpanna Tai Autonomous Chou repeatedly invited representatives of the local PLA units to symposiums held by the revolutionary committee to solicit the PLA's opinion on its work. PLA personnel in Menghai County, according to the report, also helped the local people overcome many difficulties when the county was ravaged by a severe storm in 1971.

Among those most bruised by the crash are the farmers of Menghai County. Many had never experienced the kind of prosperity common in China’s cities. Villagers built two-story brick homes, equipped them with televisions and refrigerators and sent their children to schools in the district capital. Flush with cash, scores of elderly residents made their first trips to Beijing.

Dr. Collingwood, in his "Rambles of a Naturalist," describes a scene of marvellous submarine beauty in the China seas. He speaks of Fiery Cross Reef on a day when the sea was so calm that the ship’s anchor could be distinctly seen sixty or seventy feet from the surface. Rowing over a two-fathom patch, he allowed the boat to drift slowly, and gazed on the sea treasures beneath him.

1871, William Jones, “Submarine Scenery”, in The Broad, Broad Ocean and Some of Its Inhabitants, London: Frederick Warne and Co., page 182:

Fiery Cross Reef is about 14 nmi long. U.S. Defense Mapping Agency charts indicate that it is submerged at high tide in its natural state,⁴⁷ but other sources claim it has one rock at its southwest end that is about the size of a table and is 0.6 meter above water at high tide.⁴⁸ This reef has been converted into an artificial island and now contains a supply base, a helipad, a 300-meter pier capable of handling 4,000-ton ships, and an ultra-modern oceanographic observation station that can receive and transmit messages through satellites and provide vital meteorological data to passing aircraft and ships.⁴⁹

China's landing of an aircraft at Fiery Cross Reef has already drawn criticism from its neighbors, among them Vietnam, which said China's move violated Hanoi's sovereignty. The Philippines, a US ally, said Monday it was also considering a formal protest.

2016 January 5, “Beijing sea flight test on disputed island draws rebukes from US, neighbors”, in Deutsche Welle, archived from the original on 2016-01-05, China:

On Fiery Cross Reef, a complex of buildings with Chinese eaves was arrayed at the center of the reclaimed island, including an exhibition-style hall with an undulating roof. It looked like a typical newly built town in interior China — except for the radar domes that protruded like giant golf balls across the reef. A military-grade runway ran the length of the island, and army vehicles trundled across the tarmac. Antenna farms bristled.

In October 1993, in a village in Jinxian county, the bodies of two boys, aged six and four, were found in a reservoir. The police determined that they had been “murdered”. Zhang, a carpenter from the same village, was taken away by the police.
