I shock the new Western military bases: the United States and China experts Nuchi another attempt [map]

In recent years, the Chinese navy's operational capability has been significantly improved the Chinese government to safeguard national interests and the military building, also triggered the speculation of some countries. August 23 "The Australian" newspaper, entitled "The growth of the Red Fleet threat," the article stressed that the Australian Government and the military should attach importance to the Chinese naval forces to the rise of the Asia-Pacific region pattern of the impact. Western speculation the new military port So far from the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy has been seen as the masters of the Western Pacific. In the United States as important allies in the region, Australia follow the United States to take the long-term defense policy, the U.S. fleet also became the country against the threat of the sea "breakwater." Today, the Chinese Navy登场this new competitors, the geopolitical balance in a subtle tilt. Chinese Navy slow but firm step forward, from Canberra to Washington to the politicians, soldiers and analysts concerned about the potential rival's every move. One of the most embodies China's naval ambitions, is the vicinity of Hainan's Sanya, a very large military port project. Western intelligence agencies from the sources pointed out that in addition to Sanya naval base for nuclear submarines parked 20, hangars, its infrastructure is enough for such a large aircraft carrier vessels to provide support. "This shows Beijing's determination to control the South China Sea", British "Jane's Defense Weekly" wrote in a commentary, "its location so close to Asia's economic vital shipping lanes and can not but arouse the stakeholders Attach great importance. " Mention of the "China threat theory, the Navy," it is too early The article further pointed out that more important than the hardware level, and explore the Chinese Navy is the true strategic goal - it is simply satisfied to defend the country's coastline, or indeed a "challenging regional balance of power" attempt » This summer the U.S. Congress published an assessment report that the Chinese Navy of the past are still the focus of attention during the Taiwan Strait and trying to possible outbreak of regional conflicts, as an organization or delay the reinforcement of the U.S. "anti-intervention forces" As for its long-term objective, can be roughly summed up as "to ensure that local military superiority, and safeguarding maritime sovereignty, economic and energy interests." In the past dozen years, the double-digit growth in military spending, so that the Chinese government has sufficient financial resources for outsourcing and self-built large-scale naval surface ships, submarines and other main battle equipment. The article said that even though the Chinese navy's hardware (equipment) and software (the quality of personnel, actual combat experience, etc.) There are many run-in on the shortage, but long-term trends, the U.S. Pacific Fleet, its real challenge is only a matter of time. As for whether China will become the Navy's military offensive, the industry's views are not uniform. Director of the Institute for International Policy in Sydney, Meidekafu Luo, "China's naval ambitions certainly not in Taiwan"; interests of overseas expansion, will surely promote their access to the Pacific and even the Indian Ocean.乔纳森波拉克the U.S. Naval War College professor told "The Australian" reported that Chinese naval power does not necessarily lead to the enhancement of its "aggressive" up, mentioning the "Chinese naval threat theory" it is too early.

Strengthen mutual trust into a main topic of Australian troops In fact, the Australian troops for internal assessment of China's naval strength has not always relax, but based on the two countries in recent years in upgrading the economic and trade relations, most of the discussions in this regard has not been made public, unlike their counterparts in Washington as A grand scale. Taking into account the positive does not conflict with the interests of both sides, policy makers in this year's "Defense White Paper" in the United States will continue to follow the policy, depending on U.S. policy toward China should be formulated by the Chinese Navy rise of specific measures. The article said that at least so far, the Chinese Navy has yet to raise the strength of its economic growth compatible. Therefore, the U.S. Navy in a positive adjustment of the western Pacific deployment, while still insists on "Strengthening contacts and to remove misunderstandings" of ideas, which although it appeared the "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier attempted to visit Hong Kong, but China and the United States Navy's cooperation or Progress towards a positive direction. The article believes that this "carrot than stick" approach, it is worth drawing the Australian Navy. The article suggested that in the next 10 years, Australian troops are ready to acquire more advanced destroyers and amphibious ships and submarines, the expansion plan will not be established due to the China factor and a variable. The Australian Navy, the ships through the exchange of visits, joint exercises with the Chinese navy to enhance the mutual understanding, is still its current issues facing the most realistic. In this process, perhaps Australia and its allies will gradually accustomed to a strong Chinese navy in the western Pacific presence.
