It is the 19th National Surveying and Mapping Law Publicity Day.
This year’s event theme is
“Use maps in compliance with regulations—there’s no room for error.”

To further enhance public awareness of the national territory, promote the standardized use of official maps, disseminate knowledge of surveying and mapping laws, and safeguard the dignity of the national map, on August 29, with strong support from the Institute of Surveying and Mapping Information, the Second and First Party Branches took the lead in organizing a science‑popularization volunteer service activity for National Surveying and Mapping Law Publicity Day. A broad contingent of Party members, cadres, and staff members volunteered, taking to the streets to provide free education to citizens on matters related to the Surveying and Mapping Law.

In 2004, the former State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping designated August 29 as Surveying and Mapping Law Publicity Day. China’s territory is vast, stretching from the centerline of the main channel of the Heilongjiang River at the northern tip of Mohe County in Heilongjiang Province in the north, to Zengmu Ansha in the Nansha Islands in the south, from the Uzberi Pass in Wucha County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the west, to Heixiazi Island at the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers in the east…
By participating in this event, attendees unanimously expressed their commitment to actively study the Surveying and Mapping Law and to disseminate its fundamental principles and significance to the surrounding community. They also recognized that understanding the composition of China’s national territory, using maps in compliance with regulations, and safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity are the inescapable responsibilities and obligations of every Chinese citizen. It is essential to accurately identify “problematic maps”: though China is vast, not a single inch may be relinquished; and though a map may be small, not the slightest error can be tolerated.
