The Chinese government is building aircraft carriers. They say this is so they can project sea power in their regional theatre, and beyond their shores. Now they will be able to protect their interests around the world. They also believe in maintaining strength for their nation, even though they have no real adversaries or enemies. Obviously they are taking a proactive approach and a page of Carl von Clausewitz famous work; “On War” along with their time-tested and proven methods of Sun Tzu.

With a strong military and a mighty Sea Fleet and expect China to use its power off the coast of Africa to look after its interests in raw materials, as well is off the coast of Central America, and in areas where pirates might jeopardize their logistical supply-chain of raw materials on their way to mainland China, or delivering manufactured goods to their various customer countries.

We should also expect that China will retake Taiwan without a shot being fired due to their massive naval strength. The United States will not be able to challenge them because China will at that point have equal strength. Most people will agree that the United States Navy is the biggest and strongest navy in the world even if China currently has more ships. But it is also true that China borrows or takes a lot of our technology through various means. They will obviously be adding this electronic technology and anti-ship missiles, as well as nuclear submarine technology to their own fleets.

China is getting ready to fulfill its future as the world’s second superpower, and relishing the future in which China surpasses the United States as an economically stronger and more advanced country. Once China has six aircraft carriers in their naval fleet, they will be able to project power in all the oceans of the world, simultaneously. That day is rapidly approaching. Please consider all this.
