Bleeding whale rescued and tended to after shark attack
A seriously injured whale has been rescued by volunteers after it washed up on shore in south China. The four metre (13 feet) -long pilot whale was found stranded on a beach on Donghai Island in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province on Monday. Locals tried to push it back into the sea but the struggling animal was too weak to swim. They then discovered several open and bleeding wounds on the whale's tail, including a tear which experts say was caused by a ship's propeller and a large bite mark from a shark.

China Carries out Air Defense, Antimissile Drill in South China Sea
Naval vessels of China's Nanhai Fleet recently held an air defense and antimissile drill in the South China Sea, as part of the navy's annual routine military exercise.
During the drill, a destroyer-frigate formation fought against air-raids and intercepted missiles from the enemy's carrier-borne aircraft, giving a live-fire test to the participating troops.
Chen Hang, commander of the missile destroyer Guangzhou, said the combat exercise helped to boost the navy's war fighting capabilities in complex situations.
Like fighting on a real battlefield, we don't know when and where the missiles would come from. The exercise is a live-fire test for each of the soldiers, he said.
The Nanhai Fleet, as well as some vessels of the Beihai Fleet and Donghai Fleet, has recently carried out an annual routine military exercise that covered all sorts of combat platforms, including the air arm, submarine, surface vessel and coastal defense force.
The drill focused on air control operations, sea battles and anti-submarine warfare.

A naval formation consisting of aircraft carrier Liaoning has conducted take-off and landing drills in the South China Sea on Jan. 1, 2017. The formation, which is on a cross-sea area training exercise, involved J-15 fighter jets, as well as several ship-borne helicopters.
China ::
When Xiao Jin'guang, a former naval commander of the People's Liberation Army, wanted to inspect a fleet base on an island 67 years ago, he could only find a fishery ship to take him there.
With a stern expression on his face, he told his entourage, Remember, Navy Commander Xiao Jin'guang took a fishery boat on his inspection tour on March 17, 1950.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy was founded on April 23, 1949, in Taizhou, East China's Jiangsu Province, with just nine warships and 17 boats obtained after a unit of the Kuomintang's second coastal defense fleet defected to the PLA. In its early stages, the PLA fleet was mainly composed of wooden ships and sailing boats.
Force modernization
This year, on its 68th anniversary, the navy boasts aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, dozens of squadrons of destroyers, landing ships and supporting ships in its three fleets.
The navy has several hundred combat ships larger than frigates, with a total tonnage five to six times greater than it had the 1980s. The number and tonnage of the navy's submarines are also dozens of times vaster than the early PLA Navy.
The Pentagon's China Military Power Report 2016 states that China operates the largest number of vessels among Asian countries.
At present, China has one aircraft-carrier the Liaoning, Type 001, a refitted ship built by Ukraine (under the former Soviet Union), but the second carrier and the first China-made aircraft carrier 001A will be launched very soon. The third, Type 002, is currently under construction in Shanghai, and 002 will be much more advanced than 001 and 001A.
Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo, a senior researcher at the PLA Navy Equipment Research Center said in order to protect China's territories and overseas interests, China needs two carrier strike groups in the West Pacific Ocean and two in the Indian Ocean. So we need at least five to six aircraft carriers.
The Pentagon's report said China has five nuclear powered submarines, 53 diesel-powered attack submarines and four nuclear ballistic missile submarines which carry JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missiles that have an estimated range of 7,200 kilometers.
This platform represents China's first credible, sea-based nuclear deterrent, and China's new generation nuclear submarine Type 096 will be up and running in a decade, said the report.
The PLA Navy has continued a robust surface combatant construction program of various classes of ships, including guided-missile destroyers and guided-missile frigates. The PLA Navy currently has 13 Type 052D destroyers, its most advanced guided-missile destroyer, the latest of which, the Xining was launched on January 22 2017. The new generation Type 055 is under construction and which it is believed will become a key member of China's aircraft carrier strike group in the future.
China has continued to produce Type 054A guided-missile frigates, with 27 ships, the latest of which, the Liupanshui, was launched on April 1 2017.
These vessels provide a significant upgrade to the PLA Navy's air defense capability, which will be critical as it expands operations into distant seas beyond the range of shore-based air defense systems, said the Pentagon's report.
