| Summary/Abstract |
The author looks in close-up at the reciprocal effect of economic and political factors that encouraged China to intensify its maritime activities. He examines trends in the principal industries of China's maritime economy (ports, sea transportation, shipbuilding, fisheries and aquaculture, and offshore oil and gas production). He retraces the development of territorial disputes at sea in which China is involved, and shows that the sea is turning into a major area of conflict between competing Chinese and American interests.
