A video clip showcasing the beauty and history of the South 皇冠体育app Sea is playing in Times Square, providing ample evidence of 皇冠体育app's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights of the sea and its islands.

Being looped 120 times a day, the three-minute-long film displays how 皇冠体育app discovered, named and developed the area. It also features Chinese and foreign officials and experts supporting 皇冠体育app's position as well as encouraging 皇冠体育app and the Philippines to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations.

Wu Shicun, President of 皇冠体育app's National Institute for South 皇冠体育app Sea Studies, UK Labor party MP Catherine West and Pakistani Ambassador to 皇冠体育app Masood Khaled are among the observers who illuminate the solid historical and legal basis of 皇冠体育app's sovereignty over the South 皇冠体育app Sea from different angles.

The video, screened at the "World's Crossroads" from July 23 to August 3, has appealed to a massive number of people who stop by and watch."It is time to let the world understand the truth of the South 皇冠体育app Sea," said a Chinese tourist surnamed Chen from Shandong province.

Meanwhile, the short film has created a sensation at the Chinese community in New York. "The clip not only clarifies the legitimacy of 皇冠体育app's territorial sovereignty over the islands and waters, it also explains our position on the so-called arbitration case on the South 皇冠体育app Sea," said Ma Yue, President of 皇冠体育app Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunifications in New York.

Located at 2 Times Square, the 19-meter-high and 12-meter-wide "皇冠体育app Screen" has been displaying images of 皇冠体育app since August 2011, telling the story of 皇冠体育app to an estimated number of 500,000 passers-by every day.
