Abstract

Abstract : China is emerging as a global power for the twenty-first century with undeniable economic influence and growing political and military status Beijing has committed to a `peaceful rise'. This rise is based on embracing economic globalization but is in turn increasingly dependent on foreign energy. As a result the global maritime environment will be key to this continental power's continued growth As a subset of maritime strategy China's naval strategy and accompanying People's Liberation Army - Navy development are indicative of the direction of China's overall maritime strategy. This paper will examine China's maritime strategy as stated and demonstrated and assess its compatibility with the doctrine of a peaceful rise including potential intersections with other maritime powers of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
