Is it time for China to establish its Blue Water Navy?

By Rizwan Ghani
Following American Navy’s joint exercises with South Korea in Chinese waters, Beijing is under pressure to establish China Blue Water Navy (CBWN) and have its own aircraft carrier (AC). The supporters of CBWN within China want the Navy to protect country’s sovereignty, commercial interests and symbol of economic power. Independent observers think that CBWN will help restore multipolar world and make the world a safer place. Pro-Washington experts think that CBWN will help secure commercial lanes. Therefore, time is right for CBWN.
Washington maintains that US-South Korea naval exercises in Yellow Sea were directed against North Korea. However, the critics have raised alarms on rationality of US-South Korea naval drill with 90,000 troops and an AC in Yellow Sea, which under international laws and tradition is part of Chinese waters. Hillary Clinton’s statement that we are back in Asia has stoked anti-China apprehensions.
I think Washington may have won a battle here but has lost a war. The birth of CBWN is only a matter of time. This analogy should help the reader understand the seriousness of the matter. The US naval presence in Yellow Sea is just like Chinese Navy conducting exercises in waters of San Francisco.

It is opined that CBWN is important to protect Beijing’s commercial interests. Fifty percent of global trade goes through South China Sea. The hawks in Beijing reject the argument that Japan is and has been an economic power without a navy. Furthermore, Japan has second biggest navy in the world. CBWN will actually further mutual trust between world’s major naval forces. Due to the well-connected nature of modern commerce, CBWN should not be a threat to rest of the world.
CBWN will have to be made if Beijing wants to protect its territorial waters, territorial integrity to preserve the very concept of nation-state.
Peoples Liberation Army supports CBWN. It is a symbol of international prowess and national pride. It will help restore balance of power in international areas as world shifts towards multipolar world. CBWN will help develop freedom of movement in international waters, and international port calls will improve bilateral relations.
In the wake of growing international naval cooperation in the region, Islamabad should welcome idea of CBWN. For mutual benefits, CBWN allows widening of existing Pak-China naval cooperation to Indian Ocean and beyond. The sharing of AC technology and development of anti-AC missile with China will help improve Pakistan’s defense and protect national interests. A stronger Pakistan serves region’s interests including China. (From Pakistan Observer)
