"China announced military strategy whitepaper is derived from strategic vision, declaring the international community of military and security policies of China," CCTV quoted Colonel Duong Vu Quan, spokesman Chinese Defense Ministry said.

Appreciate navy

Analysts said that the important point of this year's Defence White Paper that the Chinese army set out requirements to change the thinking, "attaches great importance to the army, navy lightly". Accordingly, the navy must be based on demand strategy "defense marine access, ocean protector" menace capacity building and counter-attack strategy, maneuver warfare at sea, general operational coordination on sea, thus ensuring the safety of foreign interests in Beijing.

Military analyst commented Dennis Blasko, Chinese Defence White Paper has formalized the trend of transformation in the military in recent years.

"This basically confirms what most analysts have seen, is the tendency for a larger navy, air force and force more powerful the more advanced missiles," New Blasko York Times quoted former US military attache in Beijing, said.

In early April, US Navy Intelligence Agency published a report assessing China's naval forces, with the statement after 15 years of constant modernization of naval forces, Beijing has achieved clear results.

Accordingly, in both 2013 and 2014, the number of Chinese warship launched more than any other country and this trend will be continued in the following years. In addition, this country has a fleet of large-scale marine scenes in the world, in greater numbers than in neighboring countries such as Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines combined.

"Before 2020, the Chinese navy will gradually improve combat, with measures quickly purchasing equipment, along with raising the level of maturity in action" on the written report.

Straight only the US, Japan

The shift in thinking and practices on China's military is believed to stem from the competitive landscape influenced increasingly fierce between Beijing and Washington and its allies in the Asia - Pacific. This White Paper emphasizes the security risk that this country is facing, especially on maritime issues, in the context of strained US - China on South China Sea increased.

"The US continues to promote a rebalancing strategy in the Asia - Pacific region, strengthening the military presence and military alliance system in the region. Japan actively sought to escape after World War institutions 2nd, sharp correction military security policy, "White wrote books. "A few countries have specific provocation on issues relating to territorial sovereignty and maritime interests of China".

However, in fact, the new Beijing is actively carrying out provocative actions aimed at changing the status quo in the South China Sea, with the accretion of ice that illegally occupied the country in the Vietnam Spratly Islands South. Even yesterday, the Ministry of Transport blatantly countries held a groundbreaking ceremony to build two lighthouses in stone and stone Gac Ma Chau Vien.

During the announcement ceremony yesterday, Colonel Duong Vu Quan US implies new strain agent in the East Sea. "The external forces are trying to smear the Chinese military, the outcome of deliberate tension in the region", he said. "This is not anything new skill games, people have seen a lot of history."

Major General retired from Quang Du said that the US should not expect China will succumb to pressure and Washington need to understand the ultimate consequences if put Beijing on the wall corner. "China will actively build capacity and its military deterrent, just to make sure no one dared to fight us," Xu said.

Biology professor dramatize the University of Nottingham said that the new Defence White Paper with a series of diplomatic moves, the Chinese military two years ago, reflecting the strategic perspective of tough foreign policy leadership its incumbent.

This strategy differs from the approach "more say less" and avoid power seemed that concerned neighbors of the old leadership. In late 2012, the Chinese Communist Party Congress held 18, marking the transfer of the highest lead generation every 10 years, with the new general secretary Xi Jinping.

"In the short term, this strategy gained the support of local people, even a certain number of benefits internationally, but in the long run, likely will increase further lack of confidence Southeast Asia's strategic intent of China, caused suspicion and reaction from the US, is not conducive to China, "said Professor Tang.

According to forecasts by IHS Janes Defence Weekly, annual defense spending in Southeast Asia will reach $ 52 billion in 2020. The countries in the region is expected to spend $ 58 billion on new military equipment in the next 5 years , including the purchase of naval equipment will account for much. Most of this equipment is likely to be used in and around the South China Sea, where China is actively building illegal.

Despite these adverse factors on strategy, Professor Bernard Cole of the National War College in Washington estimates that the new Defence White Paper of China increasingly shows Hypo countries will abandon action build up the island to control the South China Sea.

"I think China is confident to push forward, trying to find the threshold of the US response," commented Professor Cole. "We now can see that threshold, but I am sure that there is no evidence to suggest that China will stop construction activity island".
