A new documentary of China Global Television Network (CGTN), "Catching A Wave 2," has explored China's role in safeguarding maritime navigation safety in the South China Sea.
The South China Sea, some of the world's busiest waters, sees around 80,000 vessels safely pass through each year.
For every ship that crosses the South China Sea, a network of professionals is working to ensure its safe journey.
From the shores of Hainan to the open waters, maritime authorities operate around the clock - guiding ships, preventing accidents, and responding to emergencies.
Across the entire South China Sea, around 80,000 vessels safely pass through each year, while foreign ships from all over the world account for 94 percent. All of them can pass through the South China Sea safely, easily and efficiently, totally unimpeded, even passed without knowing it.
For China, true freedom of navigation means not just safety, but security - a stable, rule-based order for all in the South China Sea.
The documentary premiered on March 28th.
