The Chinese navy, or the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy), now has two fully-functioning aircraft carriers, the Soviet-era Liaoning and the new, domestically-built Shandong.
While seriously enhancing China’s ability to project combat power beyond its own coastline, they are also being used to train cadres of naval officers and pilots in the complex business of efficiently running aircraft carrier groups.
Rapidly developing this body of expertise is no easy feat but President Xi Jinping has big plans. Apart from the two already in service, two more aircraft carriers are being designed and built. Larger and able to carry more aircraft, they will have the means to launch heavier planes and to see and attack targets further away.
These “big ticket” defence items draw the bulk of Western attention and serve to boost a sense of Chinese national might but equally important, and often missed, is the development of the PLA Navy’s amphibious capabilities.
China’s marine corps is being increased from 20,000 to 100,000 troops and personnel are being trained for a variety of missions. Meanwhile, new large amphibious assault ships will protect marines when landing on hostile shores, and provide a mobile command centre for coordination and support, a vital component in any expeditionary force.
As China expands its economic influence on other continents, it wants soldiers able to project combat power and protect its interests. The marines will be that force – well-equipped and gaining operational experience as they deploy overseas.
Add to that the PLA Navy’s underwater drone submarines, new carrier-based stealth aircraft in development, air-to-air refuelling for its expanded naval aircraft fleet and missile systems specifically designed to sink and destroy enemy aircraft carriers. All this, combined with better, more-realistic training, have served to make the Chinese navy increasingly potent.
China, like many countries, wants to protect its interests and ensure that no other country has a stranglehold on its trade routes. As its economy has expanded, so too has its determination to protect vital sea lanes and Chinese investments overseas. But what has China’s neighbours worried is the rapidity of its encroachment into other spheres of influence, both regional and beyond. So, what is going on?

LET’S WEAKEN THEIR ARMY, POWER, EXPANSIONISM AND ECONOMY. THEY HAVE NO DEMOCRACY AND HAVE STUPXX IDEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHIES……
The West can why China cannot, the Warmongering West, shaft your reports into both top and bottom holes.
Here it comes again divide and conquer game 2021.🌍😔
all I can say is that dont trust China ..
Ah yes china bases man thia comment are weird they china is seizing disputed lands i mean nobody cares if they build bases on their own water but why are they building bases in disputed water with Philippines and vietnam
Looks like Joe biden acting as a reporter and is trying to be showcased as an unbiased reporter.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that as far as vaccines are concerned, the Indian government has started preparing only now, when India’s second COVID-19 wave isn’t just well underway but has devolved into an absolute disaster. The information about capacity limitations was available from day one – but the government was blind-sided by its own rhetoric about not only being atmanirbhar but also a saviour of the world.
It didn’t even look at the numbers and lost precious months that could have been spent shoring up domestic production capacity. Now, India has been reduced from being the “pharmacy of the world” to a desperate seeker of imported vaccines.
Neeta Sanghi has over three decades’ experience in managing pharmaceutical supply chains. She is currently working on a book about the industry.
America is building 250 subs at the same time and 100 warships and u k has built the most powerful and dangerous aircraft carrier in the world but al jazeera say nothing
You build your power on the foundation of the power at home, the Western powers are in decline at the same time supporting a huge military. This is how the Soviet Union collapsed, weak economy at home trying to win an arms race. The Western powers already won an arms race, why do they want to win again?
Why can’t she build her navy when the yards are there to build them? After all, he produces over 60% of the world steel production. Let see if US or UK or India trying to catch up with such build up? Even though, China preaches that naval vessels are really sitting ducks, they still build them at a speed whilst others can just pass negative remarks! What a joke!
China🇨🇳 is the next USSR.
I hate China🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This channel doesn’t stand with what’s the truth. Everyone knows that POK and Aksaichin belong to India.
But these territories have been illegally annexed by two demons i.e. Atankistan and China.
That doesn’t mean they have any kind of right over these.
This channel always keeps showing you wrong maps. I don’t know from whom it’s afraid.
Asia is doomed😔😔
Almost unwatchable with that stupid loud music.
At the end of the day it’s all about resources and control over those resources.
US ambitions
I wish my country will return U.S. bases let’s see if China will still harass us. See in Japan if they do something aggressive immediate action taken. They can only bully those small countries but if south east countries unite no more China aggression.
Chinese remembers 1860-1900 invasions well, Chinese remembers the humiliation of losing Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, colonies in Shanghai, Qingdao, etc. Chinese remembers UK controlled Chinese custom, Chinese remember Japanese killed 20 million Chinese and Chinese sees US nonstop navy hostile aggression, Chinese remembers UK burned down Beijing summer palace and Chinese sees looted Chinese treasure displayed in British and French museums. US, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan are forming the new 1900 invasion again as we speak, so what do you expect,
it could just mean that china has massive manufacturing and construction capacity,and they dunno what else to do with it except build more stuff…..
America with their 800+ military bases: AMATEURS!!!!
Another media controlled by US and anti China westerners.
Duterte is a pet dog of Xi JinPing
Great, what about Wuhan virus 😎
Yeah. The US and India spread it the most
@Rex china created it, what’s your opinion
All these westerners could do is only talk. Of course, countries like the united snakes like to keep things volatile so that they can keep their military industry well and alive. President Duterte had asked the united snakes to affirm its support in the WPS dispute but the u.s. was silent. Countries like the Philippines are forced to navigate the issue on their own because they have r3alized that the united snakes or any other western power only acts on their self interest. China was wise to build its military whiile the west was pouring so much wealth into their economy. Now, even the united snakes wouldn’t dare to strike at china.
Building the ships is one thing, crewing and maintaining them is another matter. An absence of nuclear powered carriers/cruisers and insufficient nuclear submarines mean it is still confined to being a regional power not a global one.
stop living in daydreaming you fool. Chinese navy is already strong.
Why nobody is talking about the evil US hegemony and dominance to all region’s? Even to the wild ambitious Japan, nobody is pointing fingers to her when she is trying to manipulate/fabricate the truths? In fact it is iron proof that no one can deny it.
So good job! Keep going 🤟
China needs a strong military to protect its own country’s economic achievements, especially in the face of blackmail from that super-rogue country…
It’s America s fault the constant threat against China. What did they do to china 150 years ago. Will never be forgotten.
a greater n stronger china is a guaranteed safe future for the whole world … now uncle sam is going to retire.. …. love n respect from pakistan 🇵🇰
You cant even do to help Uyghurs. imagine what they will do to you. China is atheist totalitarian, they dont like religion. Stop the bs.
So when the other countries does it it all right to have 800 bases all over the world .
China has never ran the entire world,their ambitions are too high,they will fail like always.
China is overfishing everywhere in a predatory manner. At this rate, the world will run out of fish stocks.
they think they own the world. and they are the only people existing on the planet.
From my experience all my life, i made a conclusion, dont ever trust big western country, they more sly and greedy than your think. You dont know how much damage they cause around the world, they always clever cover it up. Now China keep growth larger and powerful, and western Government keep looking a fault, scamming and framming at china like when they framing iraq and invade them because oil. So becarefull of western country specially Merica.
Why no one question the west military or the purpose of nato. Why are we still allowing the western white to influence us. Wake up world.
How come everything China does is a matter of selfish ambition, whereas everything that the US does is full of freedom, democracy and human rights?
coz China is atheist, totalitarian. Bully in short.
Easy they don’t want to be bully by USA.
British are training their booster jet pack to board Chinese boats by surprise. Lol
Since they are not interfering in any countries politics I believe China has no interest in explanation
they will not say it in your face but their action says otherwise.
@Simba have they done that on your face ?.. if no, then how do you know
Building up military assets for what I wonder. Very suspicious that China will invade and destroy Taiwan as a free democratic nation. The rest of it’s neighbors tremble in fear and hope the US will step up to contain the rise of this totalitarian state, becoming an increasingly aggressive super power. I fear for the safety of Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, Vietnam… Hopefully they can withstand a direct attack if China chooses to invade. History repeats itself.. Germany invades Poland 1939.
China is the most beautiful and developed country in the world. And is also most safe place in the world. People are living save and sound. Even single girls could go out on the street at 12 oclock at night whithout any problem. No criminal at all. That is why we 1.4 billion people all supports the CCP and our government. On the other hand, the US now is like a refugee that claims for human right meanwhile itself does not have human right at all. US is like a thief calling the police and telling the police that others are stealing. The US actually takes all the other union countries as dogs and pets, and they seem to be happy to be America’ s dog, because the master could feed them, and because they are jealous of how developed China now is. Actually, If US wants a war, the Chinese DF-17 and DF-41 missiles or nuclear missiles could reach the US at speed of Mach 15. The US subjects will become ash without noticing what happened. Hahahaha
Obviously: USA Need a shut call from some other power
Easy to say the Navy is only there to defend its own territories when it has claims to nearly everything in the South China Sea and Taiwan 😂
Like Russia defending its own claims whilst invading Ukraine.
Time for the US to look again at the ” Seawolf ”
It was a mistake to reduce the numbers…
What ya think…the penny might just be about to drop…
Isn’t YouTube ban in China, why their is so many 五毛here? 😂😂 Using VPN? Why do you need one? Cuz your government not allowed 😂😂
ww3 no good outcome only deaths and destruction sorrow and pain
China is asking for it.
Biased! Tell this to you boss USA government to stop bullying other nations, not only world is more peaceful in fact US doesn’t need deal with terrorist that they created!
It’s ok AJ let me say it for you if you are too shy, US congress please print US arms dealers more money!!!
Well if the US spends way more in military budget, why not have some documentary coverage on US rapid expansion on their Navy or other areas militarily?
So Japan and the west won’t bully China again like what they did in the past.
” What’s behind china naval base ambition ” ??
Wow … if AL JAZZ… news network could read & predict China Defence Ministry’s ambition … then China might as well “close – shop” and surrender to USA.
It’s freedom of navigation if the US does it, but an act of aggression if China does it. It’s high time the US gets knocked off her high horse, and gets her front teeth knocked out from a boot to her face.
The us isn’t the one wanting to invade Taiwan and attack border patrols of other countries and put people in concentration camps.
@Piet Jan they don’t have to want to invade other countries. They already are. Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam etc. They sure are busy!
@Michael Lim I’m not saying the us is good I’m only saying China is worse.
Yes coz China seizing those reefs & rocks, disrespecting their neighbors, violating laws. what’s the whole point of UN.
Why is this report painting this situation is such a bleak and concerning light? Shouldn’t they be concerned over the US’ military buildup?
coz it is. China is opposite of the Western freedom & human rights. freedom of religion. they are acting up like Japan in the 40s.
Forget about china, the us millitary is the problem
Freeman’s third law of dynamic strategy ” For every hostile act there is a more hostile reaction ” and that’s a psychological effect on any human been.
Yes thanks to that Law, arms & Nuclear race is inevitable in that Region. thanks to China’s aggression!
@Simba Yup it’s because China invaded so many countries such as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and destroyed Libya. That’s why it should be called Aggressor and should be stopped.
Look at the mirror.
YOU CAN’T BLAME CHINA.THIS ALL BECAUSE OFF PAST HISTORY THAT CHINA HAD ALREADY BEEN BULLY AND HUMILIATED.ALL OVER THE WOLRD CONFLICTS IT BECAUSE OF THE WESTERN POWER WHICH CAUSES DISHORMONY
what being bullied. its an imperial defeated by another imperial. simple as that.
CHINA HAS NO CHOICE TO EXPAND ITS NAVY. IF U.S AND ITS ALLIES LOCKDOWN THE SEA, THERE WILL BE DISASTER FOR CHINA, EVERY TRADE ON SEA WILL BE BLOCKED.
China is a hagemony. Full stop
Philippines “I will Fish” Sounds like a Drunk guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In Shanghai, 9 warships are being built simultaneously.
One of several shipyards!
This needs not only serious money but expertise also.
China have the money and expertise
Good for the Chinese!!! Americans are doing this since the WWI!
Al Jazeera is funded in whole or in every part by the U.S. government
Sorry! I can’t take this guy seriously when he is trying to act like the end of days are upon us! HAHAHAHAHAHA calm down governor and have a cuppa instead. We the Chinese are too busy getting rich while the whole world is spending all of their money on doomsday bunkers and bugged out bags! They are too “made in china” just saying.
LoL, fight with China, otherwise, shut up
How is China going training up sailors to crew all those ships?
There is one kind of ship named training ships…
wow, America is qualified to say anyone else military is too threatening? That’s new. I thought you’re the country that spends 4% of your GDP on the military, whereas China spends only 1.9%, which is lower than Germany and Japan, which claim they do not have a military.
It’s because if you are stronger enough than your neighbors then only you can influence them for your own benefit. 🤔🇮🇳
China do the same mistake same as Japanese,until they drag him into the war,but if you try to be dominant and hegemonic you will last longer even if you not successful, you will end up like soviet not japan.
India fighter brought down?….yeah it brought down ,but the grand papa fighter also brought down f 16 in the battle between two f16 outside india
because of raising anti-Asian hate crimes in the US
very gently alert about Chinese expansion
Why don’t you talk about US which are warmonger, troublemakers everywhere they goes. Interfering with others countries internal affairs. This is a very biased reporting and have no truth in it. Its China rights to develop their military powers to protect themselves from troublemakers such as US !!!
Bomb all Chinese Shipyards! TRUMP2024
Taiwan is a part of China! Ok
This is all the outcome of US ploy. By creating instability and tension, the US gets to sell more weapons. Taiwan bought a few hundred million USD worth of weapons, Japan also spend a few hundred million USD, etc. But the truth is all those weapons will never be put into use at all.
meow
So if I understand the situation correctly when the americans bomb and invade countries which did no harm to the US it’s OK, when the Israeli warplanes are bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza it’s OK, when French, English and US troops invade and bomb Syria for no reason it’s OK, but when China is building warships in order to protect it’s own borders, it’s citizens and it’s economic interests suddenly it becomes a threat to world peace??
On one hand, the West laughs at China’s military while claiming everything is inferior or is a cheap knock off. It’s all a joke, they say. USA is #1 forever, they say.
On the other hand, the West is increasingly becoming super concerned at the capabilities of these “cheap inferior knock-offs”.
Who does more trade with countries in the region? CHINA. So, if the US says its military is to protect its trade routes and interests, is there any reason why China should not also protect its trade routes and interests?
The US has been building its massive Navy fleets why no body literally cares?
I know China is the country of peaceful 👏🙏. China is the only one country who developing themselves by their way no aggressive to the others. China always say development, business, cooperation with the other countries in a peaceful way. Other hand, Only westerns are envy how the single country success and brought out a lot of people from poverty without taking western’s permission. I know any development in any country threats US national security 🤣. All issues about Xingjian and others are fake disputes what western media doing for their benefits. So ridiculous. Westerns really threading other that is why other countries needs to develop its defense system. If you know wisely about what US doing is all shame but most of the people can not get out of the box to see the truth. They washed a lot by CNN and BBC etc west fake medias. 🤔🤔🤔. I am from peaceful Mongolia 🇲🇳
China is just defensing but US makes them doing this.
AL Jazeera should showing how BBC and CNN lying for all the time.
Another Chinese funded spy channel
The United States has so many warships. Should China worry about the safety of Mexico? Will China send a fleet to the Gulf of Mexico?
If S Korea build its own nuclear submarines, it will lock in China’s North fleet from leaving which leaves S Korean navy to deal with China’s East fleet until their Southern fleet arrive which will be all over by time they get to East sea. Chinese Northern fleet ports are in range of S Korean cruise and tactical missiles and they are within range from S Korean ground based anti ship missiles if they try to pass S Korea. It will give even chance against China’s navy without the US navy. S Korean navy has better quality ships and better prepared sailors.
Why does any major country with a dictatorship build up their navy at a rapid rate? Think about it…
Does it occur to you they intend to sell Shanghai so they are surging production at the specific site to recoup its cost of operation in production? Do you know Marxism?
China will have a 2 times bigger size navy than US, will be a true Global peace keeper.
Does anyone find it funny to see china doing the almost exact same thing that japan did. feel insecure compared to western nations over compensate then severly underestimate what a moblized western world looks like. Sad to see the ego’s of individuals once again push us into conflict
Not exactly against more like in-accordance with the rise of a regional super power
bro, China is a global superpower not a regional power
RIGHT, and it is okay for USA to control all major shipping choke points in the world, but a new power? Not a chance.
Sir plzz make new vlogs i am despretly waiting specially about climate channge,and cold war 2.0
They have 1.5 billion people to protect you dummy.
If America can build that large military to protect just 300 million people,
Imagine how much china would build in their peak.
China says one thing but doing another …
-Philippines
BRAVO CHINA 👍👏👏👏
If you look at the Middle East how America controls the oil I suppose there is no difference between the two countries as China controls it’s shipping that delivers its goods worldwide.
Facebook has been flagging my Post as Spam asking For Justice for European Crimes against Humanity they committed in Africa. So I’ve resorted to say.
THIS IS NOT SPAM .When is The EU paying Reparations for the Genocides and Looting you committed in Africa ? NATO is recolonizing Africa.
China and Russia please help us.
Conquest and dominance !!
