”覆蓋南海和東海關鍵海區的長期觀測平臺的建設工作將得到上海同濟大學和中科院聲學研究所的協力。”中科院的汪品先院士如是說。

Building the observation network showcases that China is actively joining in the international competition Wang told scientific forum in Shanghai last Saturday state-run Global Times reported.

根據國有媒體環球時報的報道，上週六在上海舉行的科學論壇上，汪品先院士聲稱，中國水下觀測網絡的建立標誌着中國正在積極參與到這一領域的國際競爭中。

Institute of Acoustics refused to reveal the exact location and further details of the researches on the platform due to its sensitive nature it said.
