China's rise recently seems to have become a phenomenon commonly acknowledged by the international community, yet experts and observers lack consensus on the question of whether China is a status quo power. Although the U.S. has expressed its desire for China to become a responsible stakeholder, it remains reserved on whether China has already taken up such a constructive role. In the past few years, East Asian countries, especially Japan, Vietnam and Philippine, feel great pressure from China's strong behavior. Media reports regarding China's delimitation of the South China Sea as its ''core interest'' and the PLA's rigid position regarding the Yellow Sea have caused countries in the region to become more vigilant of China. As East Asian countries become wary of Beijing's national strategy, especially its ocean strategy, countries in the region seek to bring in U.S. power to balance China. This article aims to introduce the goal, experience and current status of China's development of ocean strategy and analyze China's ocean strategy in a global context. This article also examines some challenges China would face in developing sea power. |
