Description

This book explores China's ambition to build itself into a maritime power.

Despite having a continental coastline of 18,000 kilometers and territorial waters that cover an area one-third the size of its land mass, China has traditionally been considered a continental power.

However, Beijing is currently trying to change this historical situation through two national strategies.

This book will use the world-island and sea-power theories to explore the development of China’s maritime power from historical and geopolitical perspectives.

Using fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and comprehensive data collection, this book will present a series of compelling examples and vivid stories to help readers understand China’s maritime strategies, with interest for China scholars, historians and economists alike.
