Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Opinion:
China's military is gearing up to compete with the U.S.
Where is China
going? Reclaiming the ownership and sovereignty in disputed seas doesn’t seem
to be enough. They created an artificial island to serve as a military base. That
isn’t just enough. They’ve started building a first of its kind oversea
military base in Djibouti, a strategically vital spot in the horn of Africa.
While the only
global superpower, the USA, seems retreating its role somehow, the new rising
power is becoming more influential by money and force not only in the region
but also in the world.
China is no
exception to have to deal with domestic problems such as slowing economic
growth and employment especially among the young and state-owned enterprises. They
are much more aggressive in reinforcing their presence in the world by
firepower.
Enjoy reading
and learning what China and its PLA are up to.
