I highly doubt anyone here will agree with this assessment. This Greg Austin must be another apologist on Beijing's payroll... Diplomat

Paper outlines China's 'active defense' strategy, says control of seas as vital as control of land By: PNA/Xinhua May 26, 2015 7:04 PM BEIJING - China issued its first white paper on military strategy on Tuesday, stressing "active defense" and pledging closer international security cooperation. The white paper, "China's Military Strategy", issued by the State Council Information Office, outlined a strategy unifying strategic defense and operational and tactical offense. Among others, it warned of threats to China's maritime rights and interests, citing the provocative actions of some offshore neighbors, including reinforced, and illegal military presence in Chinese territory, and outside parties involving themselves in South China Sea affairs. The traditional mentality that control of the land is more important than control of the sea must be abandoned, and great importance has to be attached to managing the seas and oceans and protecting maritime rights and interests, said the paper. The nearly 9,000-word paper also underscored "the principles of defense, self-defense and post-emptive strikes", adding that China "will not attack unless we are attacked, but we will surely counterattack if attacked". http://www.interaksyon.com/article/111198/white-paper-outlines-chinas-active-defense-strategy-says-control-of-seas-as-vital-as-control-of-land Edited by gammy322, May 26 2015, 07:27 PM.
