UK-based provider of the world’s largest sonar device “Super Electronics Holdings Limited” (ULE) 24 broke the news that, according to the company’s understanding of the situation, China’s expansion moves in the ocean has made the United States and its allies to increase the anti-submarine combat equipment investment. Chinese military experts, Li Jie 25, “Global Times” reporter, said that not only the Asia-Pacific countries, including the United States and Russia, indeed are seeking to develop naval and air forces, but will stimulate China’s military development as a factor is not reason. In the 21st century, maritime rights and interests and the role of marine resources and the increasing influence of national emphasis on the marine interests of the greatly increased intensity of competition, this is to stimulate and promote the further development of national key factor in sea power.

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute researcher Simon ? Weitzman said, Japan and South Korea also plans to increase investment in anti-submarine system. “Jane’s Defense,” analysts say, the next 10 years, Asia-Pacific countries will purchase approximately 100 maritime patrol aircraft and 100 helicopters on duty at sea, most of which are equipped with sonar detection devices.
Bloomberg said, at present, Malaysia and Vietnam has ordered a new submarine, Indonesia is negotiating with South Korea to purchase three 1400-ton, worth $ 1.1 billion warship. ULE has been provided for Australia’s anti-submarine destroyer sonar system. The company also Boeing’s “Poseidon” anti-submarine patrol aircraft to provide sonar equipment, the aircraft is expected to equip the U.S. Navy in 2013, and is equipped with torpedoes, depth charges and anti-ship missiles.
reported that inhibition of China as a rising naval power of measures, U.S. President Barack Obama announced last week in northern Australia, 2,500 U.S. Marines stationed in order to strengthen the safety of sea transport. Report said. This month, the Chinese navy will hold training in the Western Pacific. According to from “Jane’s Defense,” the news, 2020, the Chinese Navy plans to add 30 submarines, and then across the Pacific the number of new ships are not over 86.
reports and analysis that the United States worried that China’s naval power began to rise since 2006. October of that year, a Chinese submarine in the United States, “Kitty Hawk” near the surface undetected, then the distance between the two ships have been within torpedo attack. International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, according to statistics, China already has 60 submarines.

Li Jie that the foreign media as well as some Western arms suppliers called the expansion of Chinese naval exaggerated, not to mention what the expansion of the Chinese Navy. From regional powers made China a world power forward in the process, marine interests and rights will inevitably grow and expand. The same time, neighboring countries have plundered resources, occupied the island, divided waters, plus the United States and other countries of the instigation, the Chinese become more complex situation surrounding oceans, China naturally should pay attention to the development of naval power. The development of naval forces must have the appropriate equipment and supporting platform, in particular, is a big country, a balanced development, there must be more complete system. Exploration of the Sea to China’s, are very normal routine training activities, there is no threat to his country’s intentions. (Yang Fan Zhen Xiang Zhang Xin times)
