These measures is not only caused strong concern in the United States, Japan, Russia, India, are quite concerned.



strategic considerations for the United States, China is seeking to become only the the landing right powers to give up the desire to become a maritime power, that the United States global leadership and will not have a material impact. First, we take into account China’s geographic location, powerful land power up is a big country in Asia, its influence on global affairs and can not compete with the United States. Second, the land rights of China’s military influence will be strictly limited in the terrestrial domain, its extremely limited extension of the marine sector, this aspect makes China become a lame leg Giants, on the other hand will not have the United States in the waters military influence to form an effective deterrent. However, if the successful realization of the long-cherished wish of maritime power, China will become a giant Barbara a sense, the strength of both its land and sea country, will be a serious threat to U.S. global leadership directly. The recent United States in the South China Sea issue, the practice on the Diaoyu Islands issue is in fact on the reaction of the United States for seeking to become a maritime power, extreme anxiety. You can be sure that if China continues to take strong measures in the South China Sea and its confrontation with the United States will become more intense.



Japan strategic considerations since the end of World War II, the Japanese military forces is limited, but its maritime power in Asia is no doubt. Adjacent and Japan actively seeking to become a maritime power, efforts will be considered a serious external threats. One, Japan is a heavily dependent on marine country, If you build a strong maritime power in the South China Sea, China, Japan the lifeline like to save in the hands of China, which in Japan is unacceptable. Two, if the successful resolution of the South China Sea issue in China, and that advantage on the Diaoyu Islands issue, China will emerge, and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands issue will have to be at a disadvantage position, this is unacceptable.
Recently, Japan to speed up the building of its military, released uncompromisingly for China’s defense white paper, the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, as well as adding fuel to the flames in the South China Sea issue, the fact is obstruction of the initiatives of the development of marine forces. With the gradual implementation of its maritime strategy, the probability of friction and Japan in the field of maritime safety will be increased significantly.

Russia’s actions reflect its the serious worries sense for China to become a maritime power. While China and Russia have established a strategic partnership, but Russia does not want China to become the Asia-Pacific region, as well as global real leader.

On the one hand, in recent years, Sino-Indian energy competitive situation has become more evident, increasingly concerned about the security of offshore energy transportation channel. India hopes that the military presence in the South China Sea through the expansion of the Indian Ocean – the Straits of Malacca – the development of China’s clamp. G.
