Deepwater laboratory starts construction

A large-scale wind-wave deepwater laboratory has begun construction in the coastal city of Dalian in Liaoning province. Funded by Dalian University of Technology and the China Three Gorges Corporation, the "Wind-Wave Deepwater Basin" project will effectively simulate the dynamic wind-wave marine environment, and provide high-precision experimental simulation technology for testing extreme marine environments on engineering structures. It is the first known large-scale wind-wave deepwater laboratory in the world, according to the university. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.

China and US confer in search for remains

The Chinese and United States militaries held a video conference on Thursday morning on the search for remains of US prisoners of war and missing persons, according to a brief news release by the Chinese Defense Ministry. Both sides exchanged views on case investigation and the archival cooperation between the two militaries, said the ministry. Over the years, China and the US have maintained good cooperation in the search for the remains of US soldiers who died in China during World War II, many of whom were related to the "Hump Airlift", the longest, largest and most dangerous strategic airlift of World War II.
