Navy officers and soldiers stationed in Shanghai set up a maritime
territory base point boundary stone on Sheshan Island out of the estuary
of the Yangtze River on Nov. 1, 2005. This is Shanghai's only maritime
territory base point. Establishment of this boundary stone marks that the
area 12 sea miles to the east of the base point is territory of China,
and the 200 sea miles beyond is China's exclusive economic zone. All
boundary stones of China are uniformly made by the government and weigh
about 1.5 tons.
