Summary/Abstract

China's military developments and growing naval capabilities are the focus of much discussion among strategists and policy makers. China's moves in this direction are of particular concern because of the implications to maritime security in the region, particularly to countries that have territorial disputes. Its burgeoning military power and growing naval and maritime capability are linked to the country's overall maritime strategy and rising profile in the international arena, raising questions outside the region as to her long-term intentions in the Asia-Pacific region. Of particular interest is China's Anti-access Area-denial (A2/AD) strategy. This paper undertakes an analysis of China's military with specific reference to the A2/AD strategy, and is premised on the belief that the A2/AD strategy is a component of overall Chinese maritime strategy. This paper suggests that People's Liberation Army Navy military capabilities and force developments are inter-related to the evolution of China's maritime strategy, and that China's building onto A2/AD would pose a significant threat to regional security.

Summary/Abstract

The strait of Malacca is a critical and strategic waterway in the global trading system, with more than 60,000 vessels pass through its waters every year. India and China depends mostly on this route for their trade. These two maritime powers are increasingly strengthening their presence in the region. The paper focuses on strategic interests of India and China and their efforts to maintain safety and security of Strait of Malacca by assisting the littoral states to enhance their capacity to ensure freedom of navigation in the Straits. The paper further suggests that the Southeast Asian littoral states have to be cautions on the rising interests of these nations in the Strait of Malacca.
