China celebrated its military confidence at sea on Thursday,
when anniversary celebrations for the founding of its navy climaxed with a show of the warships and submarines(潜艇). The fleet parade(列队游行)off the eastern port city of Qingdao marks 60 years since the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.
Chinese President Hu Jintao announced the start of the naval parade of 25 naval vessels and 31 aircrafts
Thursday afternoon, including two of China’s nuclear-powered Long March submarines.
“China does need a stronger navy.
Even if we can’t surpass the United States,
a stronger navy can help to counter(对抗)that influence and protect China’s own interests, ” said Shi Yinhong,
a professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing.
The PLA Navy has come from nothing to “a modern maritime(海上的)force capable of effectively defending national sovereignty(主权)and security”,
the Liberation Army Daily said.
In a recent deployment(部署)into distant waters,
Chinese warships have sailed to off the Somali coast to guard against pirates attacking merchant vessels.
But China’s naval modernization has far from erased a technological gap with the United States and other major powers.
