Abstract China imitates U.S.A. and wants to have one's own aircraft carriers to fight group in the 21st century, in order to consolidate regional power status, and by the thinking logic and military common sense, it is a essential policy for building the army to be inevitable too. The plural western military observers think that the Varyag may become the first aircraft carrier of the Chinese navy. If they match two more new-type destroyers, three convoy destroyers, two nuclear powers submarines, an oil ship, they will form an aircraft carrier battle group that has attack ability. Because of safeguarding the sovereignty, China need to have an appropriate NAVY.

The South Pacific Ocean is an area easily to be disregarded, although it possesses a very significant value of the military strategy.Contemporary,the South Pacific arena has become an important part of Chinese maritime Strategy.The reform and opening up in China bring the growth of economics and trade and the extension of national power for about twenty years, meanwhile, the state suffers from the demands of energy,the dispute of sovereignty,and the problems of the defensive screen of the American Containment Policy in East.Under such circumstances, China formulates a concrete and distinct military strategy in order to strive for the interests of the sea.On this purpose, China chooses the South Pacific area to be a part of Chinese strategic arrangements.According to the strategy, as soon as China invades the defensive screen of the American Containment Policy in east, an American military will be presence. Therefore, China can depend on its base and military power in the South Pacific area to prevent from the presence of an American military and delay it for the strategic purpose of the sea denial.

The classic theories about naval warfare is something that still influence warfare and naval theories today. In a world that changes so does the warfare, which shows a more asymmetrical character than before. Power asymmetry between actors is something to take into account today, but the history revealse unexpectadly that the weaker actor often stands as the winner. Is the theories of naval warfare that is influenced by a era of decisive battle still valid? Not only has the power asymmetry changed in time but so has the actors, not seldom the weaker actor is of a irregular character in todays naval warfare.The question here is if a theory influenced by theories created for regular conventional forces can explain the war- fare an asymmetric irregular actor carries? The issue this study address is Geoffrey Till ́s theory about Sea Denial and how that can explain the Sea tiger’s warfare against the Sri Lankan navy in the civil war of Sri Lanka. The result of the study shows that Tills theory can explain an irregular asymmetrical con- flict and also confirms that for a weak actor this could be warfare of success.
