> A draft law on Antarctic activities and environmental protection will receive a third reading at the National People's Congress Standing Committee's 25th session. Proposed changes cover China's role in Antarctic global governance, stronger oversight of expeditions, coordination of scientific research and legal liability for damage to historic sites or monuments.
