Ocean Zhan Guo Ce 
Speaking of Maritime Power’s Rising by Shao Yongling

Ocean is always a hot topic in China. For the Chinese people, there is not only joy and expectations, but also worries and crisis. The bittersweet situation forces us to think about a series of problems associated with the ocean; what does the ocean mean for us? Is strong sea power necessary for the rise and prosperity of the country? How can we seize the opportunities brought about by the ocean and calmly cope with the challenge? Can China become a great power in navy in the 21st Century? This book was started and completed under this background. There are both histories and realities in this book. This book involves the attributes of the ocean, the history of sea power, the rise and decline of great powers, the development strategy of navy, weapons and equipment for naval battle, disputes on island and ocean area and other contents, in order to provide the readers with an all-round perspective for understanding of marine issues.
