There are 25 people currently living and working in the Zhongshan station, the new building will much improve their living conditions there.

Besides increased spending on construction, China also plans to renovate its Antarctic research ship and build a wharf for it. Spending on climate, geological and environmental research on the Antarctic continent will also be increased.
