China’s overall national strength has been significantly higher than it has been in the past. However, in the process of moving toward the world, conflicts of interest will follow. If it is necessary to maintain its own survival and development while demonstrating its responsibility as a great power, China must begin to consider to have their own marine strategy.
In the 21st century, the new geopolitical concept was reformed from traditional territorial control to power control. In addition to geographical possession and control, the size, location, resources and strength of the country’s territory are the primary standard for measuring the status and strength. As an emerging sea-rights nation, China evidently is impossible to assume the great risks of challenging hegemonic systems by force at this stage. China, has raised from the economic development, has proposed “Belt and Road” as the first global strategy in the change of the new situation that has seemed like the “Marshall Plan” in Chinese version. This is partly due to that China’s strategic pressure in the Western Pacific has increased, which in the attempt to expand diplomatic influence with economic cooperation. Under the current situation which the political prospects of the United States and Europe are highly uncertain, this project, which is based on infrastructure projects such as railways, highways, and ports, will bring hope to the countries and regions along the route. The economic prosperity of the country will greatly enhance China’s soft power in the geopolitical relationship.
In the process of the implementation of the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, through the investment tools such as the Asian Investment Bank, Silk Road Fund, and trade agreements with other countries, China has made trade and investment the main method for developing its marine strategy, which taking into account both of the require to defend the maritime sovereignty and commercial interests of the countries with both land and sea needs that also promote the development of maritime forces such as the sea and the air force in an orderly manner. Not only to effectively safeguarding China’s maritime rights and interests, which plays an effective deterrent role for potential threats, but it can also display a positive image of good neighborliness and friendship and common development. The development of the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" reflects that China's overall strategy has adapted to the trend of the times and has shifted from a traditional land-righting into a land-seas in equal emphasis country. This is a path choice and concept for China's strategic layout of the ocean under the times, which is the strategic means to get the goal of building strong ocean nation.
