| Summary/Abstract |
The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) is a cause for major concern in New Delhi as it provides a basis for Beijing to increase its geo-strategic footprint in the Indian Ocean. Notwithstanding the Chinese posture of allaying India’s concerns with respect to the massive outreach and implications of MSR, calling upon its neighbour to join the effort with a “friendly, open, cooperative attitude”, New Delhi has, naturally been cautious and calculative in making headway on the issue. Although Beijing had invited New Delhi to join the project in 2014, the Indian response has been negative.

| Summary/Abstract |
Australia's development and infrastructure plans have synergy with China's 21st century maritime silk road initiative, and their political, economic, trade, financial and civil exchange have deepened bilaterally. However, China should stick to the principle of opening-up and inclusiveness to cope with the ups and downs coming up in the China-Australia relationship so as to ensure Australia can contribute positively to the initiative.

| Summary/Abstract |
In May 2015, the Information Office of the State Council published a new white paper on China’s military strategy stating that “overseas interests [had become] an imminent issue.” Accordingly, China has embarked on a build-up aimed at making itself into a “sea power,” mainly in the Indo-Pacific region, in order to deter a US intervention in Taiwan and to protect its trade in the Indian Ocean. China has acquired a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a tenth of the capability of a US super-carrier and is learning the ropes as fast as the more experienced and poorer Russia did in the early 1990s. As a source of pride to its citizens, China’s aircraft carrier program plays into the hands of the Communist Party to demonstrate its legitimacy and success. And yet, China has not yet tried to challenge the superiority of the US Navy on the “far seas.” With three or four carriers, China will remain a regional navy with global reach leading India, the UK, and France at that level.
