Entry: Pondering the Shape of Things to Come Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/pondering_the_shape_of_things_to_come#25909 Post contents: A good point, and China has been building that sub base on Hainan. But this is only speaking of the defense of territorial China. What if China wants to defend its (ever-increasing) interests in Africa? A carrier would be pretty hand for that. (And supposing China and the US drew nearer they would have no real reason to fear US naval forces). However, perhaps they have no intention of getting into nasty entanglements to defend their overseas interests and will simply bolster local proxies to do their bidding or else accept the loss of an interest or two here and there and look for another to make up for it.
